Greetings Gympie Special School Families,

Thank you to all of our parents and caregivers who have recognised the hard work of our staff and their care and support of our children during these unprecedented times. 

As a whole school community, we are very much looking forward to when we can resume traditional school learning.  In the meantime, our teachers and teacher aides have been working very hard this week to provide continuity of learning if it is necessary. Thank you for providing your child’s classroom teacher with some details regarding your preferences for supporting your child’s education. 

As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation evolves, the Education Department are regularly updating websites. If you have questions, the updated FAQs for parents webpage provides valuable information.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and COVID-19

The COVID-19 situation has impacted on the support services for your child and you may need to make some changes to your child’s NDIS plan to better meet their needs.

If you need any information about the NDIS during the coronavirus pandemic please refer to the NDIS website. Families can also ring the NDIS on 1800 800 110 to talk to a planner, make changes to their child’s NDIS plan or source services.

Remember the most important thing right now is, you and your family.  Everything else can be replaced or caught up at a later date.

The message from all of us at Gympie Special School is to please take care, look after yourselves and one another and keep up to date with Government advice.

Stay connected and check in on family and friends often.
