A message from our Principal

I extend a warm welcome to you and your family to Aspect South East Sydney School.

Each stakeholder within our community makes our school a special, safe and friendly environment to be. Our students are celebrated for their strengths and unique attributes.

Teachers are dedicated to providing a stimulating curriculum whilst being at the forefront of best evidence-informed practice specific to autism. Programs are carefully designed to motivate learning and engagement and each activity is differentiated to meet individual needs.

A strong partnership is fostered with parents and it is through open communication that decisions are made about school activities and specific interventions regarding a child’s program.

Students are encouraged to be the best version of themselves and our goal is to ensure we support them to be as independent as possible with a vision of ensuring the best Quality of Life. It is the person-centered approach that fundamentally underpins everything we do at Aspect South East Sydney School.

I am proud of our school and what is achieved for each student enrolled. Enrolment inquiries at all year levels are welcome at any time. Our executive team will assist families in navigating this process.

Thank you for visiting our website and I do hope you may have the opportunity to learn more at one of our school information sessions.
