A message from our Principal

I extend a warm welcome to you and your family to Aspect South East Sydney School.

Each stakeholder within our community makes our school a special, safe and friendly environment to be. Our students are celebrated for their strengths and unique attributes.

Teachers are dedicated to providing a stimulating curriculum whilst being at the forefront of best evidence-informed practice specific to autism. Programs are carefully designed to motivate learning and engagement and each activity is differentiated to meet individual needs.

A strong partnership is fostered with parents and it is through open communication that decisions are made about school activities and specific interventions regarding a child’s program.

Students are encouraged to be the best version of themselves and our goal is to ensure we support them to be as independent as possible with a vision of ensuring the best Quality of Life. It is the person-centered approach that fundamentally underpins everything we do at Aspect South East Sydney School.

I am proud of our school and what is achieved for each student enrolled. Enrolment inquiries at all year levels are welcome at any time. Our executive team will assist families in navigating this process.

Thank you for visiting our website and I do hope you may have the opportunity to visit our multi-campus school.

Joanne Tisdell

Principal, South East Sydney School

About our School

Aspect South East Sydney School provides education for 184 students on the autism spectrum across twelve sites. Approximately Sixty-eight students are enrolled at the main school sites which are located at Peakhurst, Loftus and Marrickville.

The remaining students are enrolled in the satellite program. Satellite classrooms are specialised autism-specific classes located within mainstream schools. Generally, there are two classes within the Primary setting, one Kindergarten to Year 2 (Infants Class) and one class Year 3 to Year 6 (Primary Class). Primary Satellite Classes at Aspect South East Sydney School are located in the Eastern Suburbs, Sutherland Shire and Inner West.

Why choose our school?

We understand autism like no other school

Aspect has been leading the way in providing services to Autistic people for over 50 years - and we offer the largest autism-specific education program in Australia. Our students benefit from decades of experience and research into how best to support people on the autism spectrum. Everything we do is evidence-informed and aims to give students the best opportunities possible throughout their lives.

Get a great education, tailored to you

Aspect is a registered and accredited school with highly trained, capable teachers who are passionate about what they do. We follow the NSW curriculum and we carefully adapt learning and development based on each individual student's strengths and interests. Every student therefore has a positive experience that is personalised for them. We work with a student’s special interest areas to be able to motivate them to achieve their personal best.

A community where you'll feel right at home

We're more than just a school - we're a close-knit, caring community of families and carers who are experiencing similar things. When you join us, you'll have an instant support network to share your journey with Aspect and beyond. Together, we share experiences and advice and celebrate milestones and achievements.

Transition Approach

Aspect regards transition as a necessary part of every student’s educational journey. The primary focus of our school is to act as a transitional setting that builds on student’s skills and independence enabling them to transition to less specialised settings with comprehensive and personalised support. Approximately twenty percent of our students successfully transition each year.
