About this school, from public sources
Drawn from public online sources: Margaret Jurd College provides tailored education for young people with complex needs who need an alternative to mainstream schooling. It grew from the Newcastle Youth Service of the 1980s, which supported young people experiencing disadvantage. The Tuncurry campus opened in September 2024 with purpose-built classrooms for up to 25 students, small classes and specialised support services.
