About this school, from public sources
Public information describes Yudi Gunyi School as a small NSW government special school in Waterloo supporting students with behaviour-related challenges through an individual case-management approach, aiming to help them return to mainstream schooling or build skills for community engagement. Its own materials highlight a multidisciplinary team of specialist teachers, psychologists, a paediatrician, occupational therapist, speech pathologist, nurse, chaplain and social worker, with a low student-to-teacher ratio supporting a diverse, largely Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student cohort.
