Welcome to The Crescent School's website. Our school offers students a caring, nurturing learning environment. Our dedicated and experienced teachers provide a positive and enriching program, appreciating each child's individual needs and interests.
All students at The Crescent School are supported by a highly skilled and qualified staff that has a deep knowledge and understanding of students aged 4-18 years of age with an intellectual disability, complex health care needs, mental health conditions and/or behavioural support needs.
Collaboratively developed student-centred plans underpin school programs. These plans are responsive to the individual needs of our students and their families. Our students come from a diverse range of socio-economic backgrounds and cultures. 14.2% of the school's population identify as Aboriginal.
The school's Parents and Citizens Committee support the implementation of planning, policy and programs.
