Catholic Schools Broken Bay Vision of Learner Diversity
Eileen O’Connor School will provide quality Catholic education for students with a disability from Kindergarten to Year 12.

Eileen O’Connor School (EOS) will provide a flexible and responsive model of education for students with disability through the structure of a Base School and a network of Support Classes in local parish schools. Transition between the Base School and Support Classes, or Support Classes and local parish school enrolment is facilitated.
