Welcome to St Edmund’s College, a special education school in Sydney supporting students from Years 5–12 with intellectual disabilities, autism, and sensory needs.

At our College, every student is known, valued, and supported. We offer a caring, inclusive and faith-based environment where young people are encouraged to grow in confidence and develop academically, socially and emotionally at their own pace.

A Specialist School for Diverse Learning Needs

St Edmund’s is a co-educational, Catholic, special school dedicated to supporting students with:

  • Mild to moderate intellectual disability
  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
  • Sensory and additional learning needs

Our programs are personalised for each student, helping them build independence, self-belief and practical skills that prepare them for life beyond school.

Individualised Learning and Wellbeing Support

Each student benefits from a tailored learning plan designed to support their individual strengths and goals. This includes:

  • Academic development
  • Communication and social skills
  • Emotional wellbeing
  • Life and vocational skills

We thoughtfully integrate technology into learning to improve accessibility and engagement, giving students more ways to connect, learn and succeed.

A Connected and Inclusive Community

Guided by the Edmund Rice tradition, we place strong importance on relationships, respect and a genuine sense of belonging.

Students are encouraged to get involved in a range of co-curricular opportunities, including:

  • Creative arts and music
  • Sport and physical activity
  • Community-based learning experiences

These experiences help students build confidence, friendships and a sense of connection to the wider community.

Preparing for Life Beyond School

We are committed to helping students transition successfully beyond school. Our programs focus on:

  • Work readiness and vocational skills
  • Independent living skills
  • Community participation

By the time students graduate, they are better prepared for further education, employment, and life in the community.
