Celebrating 30 Years

In 1995, a small group of parents had the vision to establish a school for students on the autism spectrum that was unlike anything else in Australia.

A place where every child would have the opportunity to learn, grow, be accepted and understood for exactly who they are.

Look back on where it all began, how far we've come and what's next.
