Full-time enrolment

Enrolments should be for a minimum period of one term and applications need to be made with the appropriate referrals and certification.

Students with a confirmed moderate or severe intellectual disability require the specialised distance education mode of delivery provided by The Sir Eric Woodward School Distance Education Support Unit (DESU). The specialised support provided by this unit cannot be provided by other distance education schools. Application for the Distance Education Support Unit is made through the Online Access Request Process.

Refer to the NSW Department of Education's Enrolment in Distance Education Procedures.
