External Service Providers

At St Joseph’s School, we are committed to working collaboratively with families and service providers to achieve positive educational outcomes for students with disability. We share a common goal of supporting every student to reach their full potential, develop meaningful relationships and actively participate in school life and the wider community.

At St Joseph’s School, we recognise that families may engage external service providers to support their child’s additional health, disability and wellbeing needs.

Where appropriate, St Joseph’s may facilitate the delivery of these services during school hours to support the student’s participation in learning and engagement in school life. We value a collaborative approach and believe that working in partnership with families and external service providers helps us achieve the best possible outcomes for each student.

At St Joseph’s School, we aim to support students with a diagnosed or imputed disability, as defined by the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, by working in partnership with families to help facilitate access to specialised support services that may not be available through the school. Our focus is on ensuring each student receives the support they need to participate, learn and thrive at school.

At St Joseph’s School, Mrs Savage-Morton, as Principal, is responsible for considering and approving requests for external service providers to access the school and deliver services to students during school hours. In making these decisions, she will consider the needs of the student, the impact on the school’s daily operations and the importance of minimising disruptions to learning, while ensuring the arrangements support positive educational outcomes for the student.
