About our school
Welcome to Kandeer School
We are a School for Specific Purpose (SSP).
Kandeer School is a dedicated School for Specific Purposes serving students from the Albury Network Area who are at risk of, or disengaged from, mainstream schooling due to trauma or emotional challenges. We cater to students from Years 5 to 11, referred through the Learning and Wellbeing Team's Placement Panel Process.
Our Mission
To make a positive difference in the lives of our students by empowering them to make appropriate choices.
What We Offer
At Kandeer School, every student receives a tailored Personalised Learning Support Plan, which includes an Individualised Education Plan and Behaviour Support Plan. We deliver high-quality, engaging educational programs aligned with the mainstream NESA curriculum, designed to meet each student’s unique needs.
Our Key Focus Areas
- Enhancing classroom practice to support diverse learning styles
- Improving students’ social and behavioural outcomes
- Understanding and effectively managing challenging behaviours
- Providing trauma-informed support for students affected by emotional and psychological difficulties.
Our Approach
We believe in collaboration and teamwork, involving parents, carers, and the wider community in our students’ education. Our programs emphasise hands-on learning experiences, practical skill development, and participation in community-based activities.
Transition and Growth
Our goal is to empower students to successfully transition to mainstream schools, TAFE, or the workforce. Guided by our motto, “Learning to Grow,” we measure success not only by academic achievement but also by personal growth and resilience.
At Kandeer School, your child’s journey to meaningful and lasting success begins here.
Our classrooms are set up to meet each student’s needs. We make sure students feel safe, respected and ready to learn in a way that suits them. Our staff are caring and are skilled to help students feel confident, connected and proud of who they are.
Our school uses a placement process. Enrolment occurs through a formal referral. Families and schools can contact us if they think our school might be right for their child. To learn more, visit our enrolment enquiries page.
