What to expect at our inpatient service, St Joseph’s Richmond Road, Fairview

Our school day is 9.30 - 14.30. There are five classes a day. You will get a mix of curricular subjects, support around learning & careers, and fun! When you start, you will be assigned a key teacher. A key teacher is the person who will discuss all aspects of your schooling with you. Your input matters greatly. You will also be given a folder which you bring to school daily. If you have your own school books, feel free to bring them! A nurse accompanies students to school and stays onsite for your needs. We sit together in the common area for snack break and social time. 

​

On occasion, you may have to attend appointments with other staff members during the school day as part of your care.
