Mudjingaal Support Unit

mudjingaal is the dhurga (our local Aboriginal language) word meaning 'friend, spirit protector, guide'.   It is the name of our Support and Inclusion Unit.

mudjingaal is comprised of nine classes - one IM class, one IO/AU class, two AU classes and five MC classes.

Students with a diverse range of disabilities are supported by the collaborative efforts of parents/carers, community, DEC staff and external agencies who work together to facilitate individualised planning and implementation of a vast range of academic and social programs. In addition to the school curriculum, all students have the opportunity to participate in the full range of sport, leisure and social activities, as well as establishing positive links with a large number of support agencies and community groups.

Students particularly enjoy the experiences of:

Sailing with SAILABILITY Shoalhaven and Sailors With Disabilities on Sydney Harbour, transition to work training, VET/SBAT, work placement, dance group, extended Year 6 into Year 7 transition program, travel training, swim and fitness training, weekly life skill cooking program, kitchen-garden program, as well as being involved in all aspects of the mudjingaal Munchies Cafe.
