Support Unit
	Support Unit Mortdale Public School hosts a support unit for the Sydney Region. It comprises three classes: one class for students experiencing difficulties in reading and two classes for students with a diagnosed language disability. Admission to all three classes is by referral from local schools or preschools. The referral process is rigorous and involves panel decision-making, consultation and accountability. Students in the reading class attend the unit every day from 9.30am until 1:00pm, for one term only. Students accepted into our language classes are enrolled in Mortdale Public School and attend full-time for one year. Placement in all support unit classes is reviewed regularly.	Hands- on learning - One of our Support Classes visited Featherdale Wildlife Park with Kindergarten in 2008.
