Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to Arndell! We are thrilled to support students from all across Sydney and are proud to offer a nurturing environment where they can thrive. Our dedicated and highly qualified staff work closely with the entire community to create programs and supports that help students develop essential skills in a fun and engaging way.
We understand that many students face challenges in navigating the complexities of school life and social situations. At Arndell, we focus on strengthening students’ numeracy, literacy, and social skills while helping them manage their emotions in a positive, constructive manner.
Through our valuable partnership with Coral Tree Family Service (Dept. of Health) and our collaboration with the Department of Education, we have developed a trauma-informed approach that is sensitive to mental health conditions. We are committed to continually growing our knowledge and sharing it with others, including the mainstream schools we partner with to support our shared students.
At Arndell, we believe in the power of teamwork. We regularly bring together all stakeholders—families, schools, and specialists—to set shared goals and ensure every student receives the support they need. Our ultimate aim is to equip students with the skills and confidence they need to transition successfully back to their home schools after completing the Arndell program.
We feel incredibly privileged to have such wonderful students at our school, and we are committed to helping them shine as safe, respectful, and responsible individuals.
Warm regards,
Luke Hanley.
