Referral
A referral to The Beach School is made by the home/mainstream school's Learning and Support Team who will liaise with the Department's Learning and Wellbeing Team to complete an Access Request.
Applications are then considered at a placement panel where a final decision regarding placement is made.
If the referral is approved the mainstream school and parent/carer are notified by The Department's Learning and Engagement Officer with a Letter of Offer.
During this time an orientation and initial meeting at our school will be attended by the student and parent/carers. Enrolment procedures and documentation should be completed at this time including the Letter of Offer acceptance which will be forwarded to The Department's Learning and Wellbeing Team.
The school aims to start the student at The Beach School within two weeks of accepting the placement. Students will integrate into The Beach School over two weeks or longer if required.
The student retains their place at the referring school.
All students are reviewed each term (parent/carer and supporting agencies to attend) to discuss the student's progress.
