Elouera Special School
The Elouera Special School was first established in Cootamundra in 1969 and caters for children with moderate to severe intellectual, multiple disabilities and autism spectrum disorders.
Our school staff are committed to developing in each student the knowledge, skills and attitudes which will best serve their needs in achieving independence and maximizing their participation in the community, including employment opportunities.
The school uses the Motto “Preparing for Life” as its main education focus and our educational programs concentrate on developing “Life Skills” of each student
Elouera Special School is NESA registered. Our goal is to provide each student with an individual education plan that fully meets their needs and goals. This plan is prepared with full involvement of parents and/or guardians of each student.
Elouera Special School provides education to School aged children 4-18 from kinder to year 12. We maximise our involvement in the community and life skills are a priority to ensure each student can become the best version of themselves. We have a maximum of 34 students in the school so class sizes are small to better meet students needs
Students from the Cootamundra, Young, Temora, Harden and Gundagai 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.

Technology in Education
Our students love using computers, Smartboards, Ipads and specialised learning equipment that we have installed in every classroom. With a huge range of educational software available, students learn their core subjects while learning how to use computers at the same time.
Every class room has access to this technology making the Elouera Special School a modern learning environment. Our staff and students love the group activity qualities of the larger interactive screens and how students can become involved with and not just be observers of the days lessons.
