Bridge Road School
Bridge Road School is located in the inner city of Sydney, in the Marrickville Network. Bridge Road School was established to support K-6 students with an emotional disturbance. The School offers an intensive, specialised behavioural intervention program for young children with mental health and Autistic disabilities. There is a maximum of 35 students enrolled within 5 classes. There is a maximum of seven students per class with one Teacher and one SLSO per class at all times. The school operates on a 4 day/ 1 day delivery model. Initially students integrate into their home schools for 1 day each week on a Thursday. All students’ seeking placement within Bridge Road School must first have an access request submitted to Student Services by their Home Schools for consideration by the Behavioural Panel. The Behavioural Panel meets once a term. We believe that through consultation, collaboration and positive communication our students can ‘cross the bridge’. At Bridge Road School, staff will help students develop the skills to think clearly, speak confidently and make informed choices. It is an expectation that our students are Safe, Respectful and Responsible Learners. We believe that the stable, structured environment at Bridge Road School socialises children to be happy, more confident and resilient. Through the school’s varied but relevant teaching and learning programs, students develop skills for relationship building through positive communication.

We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
