Summary Note This report is one of a series examining current evidence, policies and approaches for supporting the education of students who experience school absences because of significant illness or injury. This report provides an audit of the data available on the number of these students, the types of significant illnesses and injuries which lead to non-negligible school absence, and the number of school days lost. It presents the audit findings and highlights gaps in data collection.
Summary, NSW: Education support for hospitalised students in New South Wales is provided by ten hospital schools located in urban and regional hospitals across the state. Three of these schools are located in the three specialist paediatric hospitals: two in Sydney (Sydney Children‟s and the Children‟s Hospital at Westmead, which also provides education support to adolescent patients in Westmead) and one in the John Hunter Children‟s Hospital in Newcastle. The other seven are located in the paediatric wards of large general hospitals. Hospital schools in NSW are registered schools of the Department of Education and Communities, under the classification of Schools for Specific Purposes (SSPs). While the hospital schools in specialist paediatric hospitals in Sydney have multiple classrooms and up to 14 staff members, the smaller schools generally have one classroom and one teacher or a teaching principal. Where a school has more than one classroom these are usually organised by school year level (primary/ secondary or early years, middle years, senior years) as well as by diagnosis (one dedicated mental health classroom). NSW hospital schools see students who are school aged (turn 5 by 30th June in year of first enrolment, up to 18 years). Provision may be made for pre-school students on an individual or needs basis. Students enrolled in school (K–12) are eligible to enrol in the hospital school (shared enrolment with regular school), but priority is given to students with long stays and/or frequent admissions. Hospital schools take a personalised approach to the development of learning support plans for students, and assist with transition back to mainstream schooling as required. Hospital school staff can also facilitate the development of student health support plans to aid transition back to school in cases where a student's illness or injury may have an impact on their learning." -- p. 141 of report.
