Glenvale School plays an important and unique role in providing special education services to students from across the central coast district whose special needs cannot be adequately met in regular school settings. The school's primary purpose is to provide on-campus programs for students from four to eighteen years of age with moderate to severe intellectual disability. Students are accommodated across two campuses, one located at Narara and the other at North Entrance.

For all students enrolled at the school, our aim is to develop, within a caring and supportive environment, the knowledge, skills and behaviours that they need to participate in life as fully and independently as possible.
