St George hospital school offers a caring and supportive learning environment both in the hospital setting and in our Outreach class in the delivery of quality teaching and learning experiences for students during hospitalisation and periods of transition to their census school or alternative educational environment.
The Outreach transition program at St George Hospital school is an initiative brought about by the need to provide intensive educational support to students experiencing acute mental health or mental illness as well as students disengaged from their census schools due to mental health.
The program consists of 10 weeks of case management and transition planning. School staff work consultatively and collaboratively with medical staff, allied health, families and census school staff to achieve learning and wellbeing outcomes for students.
Students are shared enrolments with their census schools. Referral to the outreach program is through health, school principals as well as schools learning and wellbeing teams.

Getting to and from school safely
As a parent or carer, it’s your responsibility to get your child to and from school safely. Student safety is our priority.
Keep our school community safe by:
- driving and parking safely, even if it means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
- being a good role model
- never calling your child from across the road
- using the safest place to cross the road.
For parents and carers of younger children
Discuss with your child how to be safe when:
- walking
- in the car
- waiting for, travelling on, and getting off the bus
- riding bikes, scooters and skateboards.
Also talk about and practise:
- safe travel routes
- plans for when unexpected things happen
- what to do in wet weather.
For independent travellers
Talk safe travel with your high-school-aged child including:
Subsidised school travel

- The School Student Transport Scheme provides eligible students with free or subsidised travel on public transport between home and school.
