The enrolment process is personal at Andale

Many students come to Andale with a specific learning difficulty. Other students have experienced social or learning challenges in a mainstream environment. We recognise how vulnerable and daunting these circumstances can be. Everybody is different. At Andale, we tailor each student’s transition to our school so that it is welcoming, supportive, and effective.

Step 1

Call or email us to begin the enrolment process. We encourage you to book a tour, arrange a
meet-and-greet with our Principal, ask questions and discover more about what makes Andale unique.

Step 2

A follow-up visit can be arranged for your child, followed by trial visits. During this time your child may spend time within a class. A trial visit helps us get to know your child, their needs and developmental requirements. You can use this time to determine if Andale is suitable for you and your child.

Step 3

We then work with you to better understand your child’s strengths, interests, and learning needs. Together, we develop an Individual Learning Plan, addressing your child’s short and long-term goals.
