Your tax-deductible gift will help fund our essential Therapy Team so that St Lucy’s School can continue to provide outstanding and individualised education
For over 80 years, St Lucy’s School has been educating students with disabilities. With the support of people like you, St Lucy’s School can journey alongside each student and their family, because we understand that every child or young person needs to be supported to learn in their own way.
Naomi started at St Lucy’s School in 2019 as a Kindy student. She is now in Year 6 and looking ahead to high school with excitement. Naomi lives with an intellectual disability and SATB2- Associated Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that continues to be better understood over time.
Having a Therapy Team at St Lucy’s School provides tailored support to ensure that each student’s learning journey is meaningful and inspirational. With the support of generous donors like you, our team of Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists can augment programs and bring dynamic knowledge and practice to teaching and learning.”
At St Lucy’s School, we have a Total Communication Approach, meaning that we meet each student where they are and help them to develop their communication skills – whether they are using spoken word, Key Word Sign, assistive communication systems, or eye gaze technology. For our students to have a voice, we must share in their style of communication and celebrate it.
Occupational Therapists on staff support students to navigate the landscape of school. This may involve helping them overcome physical barriers or building their capacity to feel regulated during classroom/studio and playground sessions.
Our Therapy Team supports our educators and students by connecting with each student’s private therapists to ensure that students are working towards goals that are meaningful in the school context, and that the support strategies are consistent. We could not do this work without generous supporters like you.
