Autism Classes

We opened our first Autism Class at Thornleigh ETNS in March 2024. We are constantly working to make our school an inclusive environment for all pupils.

The Autism Class has six students, one teacher and two SNAs. We focus on neuro-affirming practices. We teach life skills and put an emphasis on sensory development, communication and social skills. We strive to build relationships that are meaningful and experiences that are satisfying for the children.

We are very proud of the journey we are on to ensure that every child is happy and accepted in school. We are looking forward to opening our second Autism Class later this year.

For information on enrolment, please see the 'Enrolment' tab.
