Currently Snowy Valleys school have 5 classrooms with 5 – 8 students in each room with 1 teacher and 1-2 SLSOs.
Our students are placed in classes based of support needs and academic levels, so most classes have students from multiple year levels, so best support each student.
Our classrooms are vibrant places with a range of adapted classroom equipment to support the learning needs for each individual student.
