Parents/carers of children who are seeking school placement are encouraged to contact Merriang to book a school tour. This visit gives you the opportunity to view our school, tour the school grounds, discuss how our school operates and ask any questions you may have in regard to enrolment.
The school will support you through the enrolment process which involves completing enrolment documentation, assessment for eligibility and applying for funding through the Program for Students with Disabilities. This funding is used to provide resources to support your child through their years at school.
Students who live within Merriang's designated bus zone are eligible for free DET bus transport to and from school. See Transport for further information.
Students transitioning from kindergarten, interstate or overseas are required to be assessed for eligibility. Students attending Merriang have a moderate to severe intellectual disability (IQ below 50) together with an Adaptive Behaviour Composite score usually also below 50. Our school fully supports this process which involves:
If your child has already had a cognitive assessment, check their FSIQ score (Full Scale IQ) on the paperwork to check eligibility. To attend a SDS it needs to be either 'UA' or a score 50 and under.
