With the recent issues facing the Bellhaven School in Young we have been asked a number of times by the media and some parents if the Elouera Special School can take students from Young.
We felt it important to answer these questions.
It must however be said up front that we hope that a solution can be found to keep services open in Young as it is always a bad thing to see a reduction in services for people with a disability in our region.
Can Elouera Take on Students from Young
The answer to this is a simple yes, The Elouera Special School has been advertising on Prime TV including in Young for some time that we have vacancies at our School.
Nothing has changed as a result of the problems faced by Bellhaven.
We currently have two students from Young attending the school and we are happy to discuss with parents the needs of any student with a disability.
Parents have choices that they alone can make, be that sending their child to a Government or non government mainstream school or a special school, that choice remains today for the people in Young, Temora, Harden, Junee and of course Cootamundra.
Can I Visit the School
Certainly, all parents of prospective students are encouraged to visit our School, see what we do and view our facilities.
Parents need to know as much as they can about choices available and we are keen to ensure you can make this choice confidently.
Just call our School Principal Annette Field on 02 6942 2064 in School Term periods or the Chief Executive Officer Allan Young on 02 6942 6586 in School Holidays.
...
Young has been the exception to this as there is a Special School in Young so applications have been knocked back.
For this reason we run a bus daily from Young to Cootamundra.
