St Lucy's School

The wellbeing of our students and their family is key to our work.

All of our staff play an active role in the wellbeing of our students and families. We understand that family lives can often be stressful. This can be further impacted by having a child with a disability. We aim to support our families to have the most positive experience both at school and at home.
