Murray
Bridge Special School is a Reception to Year Seven (R-7) specialist
education public school.
The school is located on grounds alongside of
Murray Bridge North Primary. Together the schools are known
locally as the North Schools.
Murray Bridge Special
School provides a learning environment for learners with complex
multifaceted disabilities who may reside across local school
Partnerships. Our learners travel from residential areas such as
Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend, Mypolonga, Callington and Mannum to access the learning
and personal care packages offered by the school.

Attendance - All Day Every day
We strive for all learners to attend all day, every day. Our learners need to attend school regularly in order to engage fully in the curriculum and gain maximum benefit from schooling. Regular attendance enables our learners to access all areas of the curriculum provided, enabling them to reach their full potential.
We also acknowledge learning will only occur when certain
physiological and psychological needs are met. Our learners may
have fragile unpredictable health concerns or require frequent ongoing
medical assessments or appointments. It is important our learners attend
only in appropriate circumstances. For example if a learner is
unwell or significantly stressed; is recovering from a recent illness;
has had recent surgery or hospitalization, or requires a standard of
health or psychological care outside of the duty of care abilities of
teaching or school support staff, then it is not in the learners best
interests to attend.
As adults lets work together for your child to attain maximum attendance for maximum outcomes.
