Mater Dei Special School

Australia Private Schools introduces Mater Dei Special School in Camden, for all your education and learning needs.

Based in the Macarthur and established as a special school in 1957, Mater Dei is an organization that provides early intervention therapy services, education and residential programs for babies, children and young people with an intellectual disability or developmental delay.

The underpinning philosophy for all that we do at Mater Dei is "Inclusion for all".

Much of our work is focused on providing opportunities and experiences that will help our students develop the skills and confidence to be fully included as members of their community.

For students from Kindergarten to Year 12 who have been assessed with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities as their primary disability, Mater Dei is a co-educational Catholic Congregational school located in the Wollongong Diocese under the auspices of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan whose ethos is based on the Rule of St Benedict.

Our culture is one of peace, prayer, service, social justice, hospitality and stewardship. Our Mission is to offer an individual and holistic education in a safe, non-threatening environment.
