General Enrolment

Eligible students may enrol at Sale & District Specialist School any time during the school year.

Eligibilty for Enrolment

A child may only attend Sale and District Specialist School if they are deemed eligible and receive funding through the Program for Students with Disabilities (PSD) under the criteria of intellectual disability. Before entering Sale and District Specialist School, students will need to be assessed by a qualified educational psychologist to determine eligibility and then qualify for funding through the Program for Students with Disabilities under the criteria of Intellectual Disability.

We work with families to complete this process and are happy to attend case meetings prior to your child's enrolment in order to facilitate a smooth transition to school . For more information about the Program for Children with Disabiliites go to the Department of Education & Training website.

The decision to enrol at Sale and District Specialist School is ultimately a family choice. Enrolment may be on a full time basis or part time, with enrolment shared between the Specialist School and a mainstream school. Enrolment of less than two days per week is strongly discouraged.
