ELOUERA SPECIAL SCHOOL

COOTAMUNDRA

The Elouera Special School in Cootamundra ranks as one of the best Independent Special Schools in NSW and certainly is in a class of its own for a country school.

Providing individual tailored programs to all of its students in the Junior and Senior sections, Elouera Special school caters for students from Kinder Early Stage 1 to Year 12 Stage 6 Life Skills Curriculum and is fully accredited with the NSW Board of Education.

Elouera Special School provides education to School aged children 4-18 who have a moderate to severe disability, autism or multiple disabilities.  Being part of a larger organisation our students also enjoy a comprehensive transition to work or transition to Community Participation in their final years at School. 

Students from the Cootamundra, Junee, Young, Temora, Nangus and Harden areas may qualify for Government Funded Taxi services that bring your child from home to School and back again, this also applies for those living out of town on a property.

INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLANS

Every child attending our school has an individual plan that identifies that child's needs and ensures their work is appropriate to their needs.  Every plan is worked out in consultation with the family ensuring they can assist their child to maximise their potential.  Most importantly, we make learning fun while meeting Department of Education requirements.

USING TECHNOLOGY

Our students love using the computers, Smartboards, listening posts and specialised learning equipment we have installed over recent years.  With a huge range of educational software available these days, students learn their core subjects while learning how to use computers at the same time.

Our listening posts allow several different program's, or stories to be listened to at the same time by different students, headsets are cordless allowing students freedom of movement.  In our new building that opened in 2004, a sound and light room and fully equipped library has taken our facilities to new heights.

In the recent Federal Government, National Secondary Schools Computer Fund we were allocated six new computers and we matched this with six more we purchased.  We also upgraded our network so every classroom and student has access to the latest equipment available. 

Every class room at the Elouera Special  School has its own interactive whiteboard.  These boards bring a whole new dimension to teaching and represent the biggest change since the invention of a black board.  Our staff and students love the interactive qualities and how students can become involved with and not just observers of the days lessons. 

TEACHING STAFF

We are lucky to have two qualified Teachers with many years Special Education experience between them, they are supported by dedicated and experienced Teachers Aides.  The team is lead by Elizabeth Verri who is our Head Teacher We also enjoy the assistance of many volunteers who undertake activities such as recreation and cooking with our students.
