St George Hospital School

"Creating futures - education changes lives"

At St George Hospital School we promote the continuity of learning for all students K-12 in the Paediatric Ward of St George Hospital.

We adopt an individualised approach, catering to the specific educational and wellbeing needs of each student. Our teachers provide a range of learning experiences in line with the NSW syllabus

When your child attends school every day, learning becomes easier and your child will build and maintain friendships with other children.

Parents and carers can help foster positive attendance habits by:

• helping their child learn the importance of punctuality and routine
• ensuring their child arrives on time from the start of the school day, ready to participate in learning
• reducing disruption to learning where possible, by planning any necessary appointments outside of school time
• promptly communicating any absence to the school (within 7 days of the first day of any absence)
• working with the school to encourage and support regular attendance.

Information for parents provides further information about compulsory school attendance.

Advice to parents and carers has further information about learning from home.
