FAQ<\/h1>\n

1. What is a special assistance school?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A special assistance school (SAS) is an educational setting designed to support young people who are disengaged from mainstream schooling.\u00a0 Carinity special assistance schools place a strong emphasis on the wellbeing of the whole child rather than being driven solely by academic goals.\u00a0 Our schools have Youth Workers who help to coregulate the emotions and behaviours of our young people so they can achieve their goals.<\/p>\n

2. How many students are in each class?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

This varies across grades but most classes average at 15 students maximum.<\/p>\n

3. How do I enrol?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Enrolment is by a referral process.\u00a0 Families, schools and support agencies can contact the school and refer a young person for enrolment.<\/p>\n

4. Do I have to wear a uniform?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

At Carinity Education Rockhampton wearing the uniform is not mandatory.\u00a0 However we do have a lovely polo shirt to wear should you choose to.\u00a0 We ask that all students wear modest and sun-safe clothing.\u00a0 We prefer the polo shirt to be worn when students are off-campus for excursions.<\/p>\n

5. I have missed a lot of school and did not pass some subjects how do I catch up?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

We work with students and families to identify academic needs and abilities, and then support students with their academic goals.<\/p>\n

Parents and Carers are welcome to transport their child if they prefer.<\/p>\n

10. Will I get one on one support?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Our classes have a teacher and a Youth Worker in them, with reduced student numbers compared to a mainstream school.\u00a0 There are times when you can get one on one support, but this is not possible all the time.<\/p>\n

We take bullying seriously and will act on information forwarded to us.\u00a0 We value communication from students and carers, and encourage our students to have a voice on issues that concern them.\u00a0 Being a peacemaker is an important part of our guidelines.\u00a0 For students that repeatedly bully others, their enrolment is at risk of cancellation. Read our Anti-Bullying statement here.<\/a><\/p>\n
