About this school, from public sources
Public information describes Karningul School as a small NSW government special school (School for Specific Purpose) in Regents Park, supporting students aged 10-14 with significant behavioural difficulties who have already received intensive intervention at their regular school. The school runs a full-time program aimed at helping students transition back to mainstream schooling, with many attending their home school one day a week. Facilities include purpose-built classrooms, a meeting room and administration space, with a notably low student-teacher ratio.
