Wycliffe Hope School

Wycliffe Hope School Find your place. Find your purpose

A Christian school for students with mild to moderate ASD or moderate intellectual learning needs.

Providing an inclusive learning experience for all our students.

What is Wycliffe Hope School?

Wycliffe Hope School is a Kindergarten to Year 12 Christian learning community with the specific focus of catering for students with mild to moderate ASD or moderate intellectual learning needs.

At the heartbeat of who we are is knowing that every child is formed in God’s image and is fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wycliffe Hope School provides an inclusive learning experience for students with diagnosed diverse needs which celebrates the truth that they are treasured and essential members of our school community.

A learning environment that offers choices for families.

Two Schools One Learning Community Wycliffe Hope School and Wycliffe Christian School together provide one inclusive learning community. ‘Two schools – One learning community’ is a key dynamic driving the establishment of Wycliffe Hope School. As we celebrate this together it underpins the provision of a differentiated and comprehensive curriculum within an appropriately tailored learning environment.

‘Two schools – one learning community’ provides the benefits of both targeted Special Education and general learning experiences within a large mainstream schooling context. It is a dynamic learning experience where designated classroom spaces, that are equipped and resourced in response to the special needs of students, are enhanced with the activities and events of the broader learning environment.

“Each student will be supported so that they have optimal opportunity to grow spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically”

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.”

PSALM 139:13-16

Celebrating diversity, inherent value and dignity of all students.

What does learning look like at Wycliffe Hope School?

Wycliffe Hope School offers educational choices for families whose children have diverse learning needs. These choices enable the support and achievement of significant learning progress.

Hope School is registered to provide Kindergarten to Year 12 education within the life skills framework.

One of the key aspects of the outworking of ‘two schools – one learning community’ is that there is the possibility for integration of students between Wycliffe Christian School and Wycliffe Hope School. This will be supported by our learning enhancement staff and is one of the incredible blessings that is created for students across both schools. Every student enrolled in Wycliffe Hope School has an individual education plan which sets learning goals that reflect the needs of each student. The plans are developed in consultation with parents or caregivers and will include both long and short term goals and strategies that will assist in achieving these.

A diverse educational community to greatly enhance whole-life learning.

Where is Wycliffe Hope School located?

Wycliffe Hope School is centrally located on the grounds of Wycliffe Christian School.

There will be opportunities for the students to be involved in whole school and sub-school events, including assemblies, incursions, excursions and camps. The shared playground spaces and learning spaces encourage students across both schools to celebrate their identity as one learning community as they ‘do life together’.
