## About

William Rose School (WRS) is located in Seven Hills, Western Sydney, and is dedicated to supporting students with additional needs. The school provides high-quality education for students K–12, with 58% of the student population requiring support in the form of English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD). WRS focuses on creating Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) in collaboration with parents and carers, promoting the emotional and social wellbeing of students to ensure successful transitions within the community.

## Student Support
The school caters to students with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities, as well as those with vision impairments, hearing loss, and complex behaviours. Professional development for teachers is a cornerstone of the school's strategic plan, ensuring that educators are well-equipped to meet the individual needs of their students through tailored programming and quality teaching strategies.

## Community Partnerships
William Rose School has built strong partnerships with local organisations and networks, including the Blacktown Learning Community (BLC) and the Special Education Principals’ and Leaders’ Association (SEPLA). These partnerships enhance the learning environment, providing access to services and therapy that improve students' quality of life.

The recent upgrade of school facilities has created a permanent, custom-designed learning environment that allows students to reach their full potential. WRS embodies a welcoming, respectful, and safe environment where communication is central to learning.
