About our school

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.

School context

St George Hospital School is a NSW Department of Education School for Specific Purpose (SSP). The school currently operates from two locations occupying a classroom within the Paediatric ward of St George Hospital, Kogarah NSW and an Outreach class, located within the grounds of Arncliffe West Infants School.

The school provides educational support to students from Kindergarten - Year 12 from all educational sectors who are inpatients at the hospital and who are identified as outpatients or have experienced extended periods of disengagement from their census school and who require extended educational support for re-engagement and transition support. The school has a strong sense of working with the community, forming significant partnerships with families, South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, local NSW Department of Education schools and other educational sectors. These partnerships are imperative and form the basis for student's learning continuity, achievement, sense of connection and success.

St George Hospital School offers a supportive learning environment in the delivery of quality teaching and learning for students during hospitalisation or when enrolled in the Outreach Class. All students work towards personalised goals that reflect the achievement of curriculum outcomes and increased engagement in their learning. School staff work collaboratively with families, identified census schools, South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, NSW Health, other government agencies and allied health professionals showing dedication and commitment to continuity of learning for all students.
