Nautilus College places emphasis on the strengths in provision of services to students.

These Include;

• The creation of a small safe, supported environment,

• Staff work with students on a basis of empowerment, rather than a model of power and control,

• That access through education allows the inclusion of other support mechanisms.

​​

The College also firmly believes in the following key principles of our school:

​

• The student is the centre of the education plan, and all plans revolve around the needs of the student educationally, emotionally and socially,

• That there is rigor in the educational program provided,

• Life Skills assist to remove barriers to education and employment.

2022 we will have up to 60 places available across years 7, 8, 9 & 10,
