EILEEN O’CONNOR CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Catholic Schools Broken Bay Vision of Learner Diversity
Eileen O’Connor School (Tuggerah) will provide quality Catholic education for students with a disability from Kindergarten to Year 12. Collaborating in the Mission, focusing on human flourishing, using Christ’s example to serve, we believe that every child is a unique individual created by God and valued as an individual learner with strengths, gifts, and talents.
Eileen O’Connor School (EOCS) will provide a flexible and responsive model of education for students with disability through the structure of a Base School located at Tuggerah, and a network of Support Classes in local parish schools. Transition between the Base School and Support Classes, or Support Classes and local parish school enrolment is facilitated.
Catholic Schools Broken Bay currently has Eileen O’Connor Support Classes for students with a disability at St Martin’s Catholic School at Davidson, St Brendan’s Catholic School at Lake Munmorah as well as at Prouille Catholic Primary School, Wahroonga.
