About our school

Willans Hill School is a Department of Education School for Specific Purpose (SSP) in Wagga Wagga that provides quality education for students from Kindergarten to Year 12 who have an intellectual disability and, in many cases, additional complex needs.

We pride ourselves on creating a supportive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where every student is valued and encouraged to achieve their personal best. Our dedicated staff work closely with families, therapists, and the wider community to ensure students are provided with individualised programs that promote independence, communication, and life skills.

Alongside our learning curriculum, students take part in programs that build skills in:

• communication
• independence
• life skills
• social skills.

At Willans Hill School, we focus on:

• Personalised learning tailored to each student’s abilities and goals
• Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) to support social and emotional growth
• Community engagement and inclusion, with regular excursions and partnerships
• Transition planning to prepare students for changes in life, including school transitions and life beyond school

Our school is more than just a place of learning – it’s a caring community where students are supported to thrive academically, socially, and personally.

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.
