 Step by Step Guide for Admissions
Bellavista School offers a progressive Assessment and Training Unit (BATU) that employs highly skilled and dedicated personnel to assess children presenting with challenges in conventional schooling situations.

Referral to this unit is made by varous professionals including doctors and school staff, but is also accessed by parents who may have concerns.

The high calibre staffing in turn offers Bellavista School their services in screening children for placement to the school. Whilst it is not necessary for a child to be assessed at the Bellavista Assessment and Training Unit to be received into Bellavista School, the unit reviews the portfolio of assessments supplied in respect of a child to determine suitable candidacy.

All applications for the assessment services offered at BATU and all applications for placement at Bellavista School are placed through BATU.
