Dear Mudgeeraba Special School Families,

Firstly, I would like to thank families for signing in and out your child during the hours of 9am and 2:30pm.  As I mentioned in my last newsletter, this simple step helps us ensure the safety and security of all students within our school community. If your child is dropped to and from school by a carer, could you please ensure you share this important message.

By now you will have had communication from your child’s teacher regarding ICP and PFAP meetings.  These meetings are a wonderful way to connect with the staff who are supporting your child. Building positive relationships with our parents and carers is something all staff at Mudgeeraba Special School strive for. 

Our school is growing

Due to a steady increase in new enrolments at our school, we are making some necessary adjustments to class structures to ensure all students continue to receive the best possible support and learning opportunities. These changes will help us maintain balanced class sizes and provide an optimal learning environment for all students.

Over the coming weeks, some students may be transitioned into different classes. If your child is affected, we will contact you directly to discuss the changes and ensure a smooth transition. Our priority is to make this process as seamless as possible, with minimal disruption to students' routines.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we accommodate our growing school community. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
