The Northern Support School (NSS) is the only government Special School in Northern Tasmania with an enrolment of 100+ students from Kindergarten to Year 12 with ambulant and non-ambulant disabilities.

The proposed redevelopment involved the amalgamation of two campuses which required a major reworking of the existing 1950’s St George’s campus to create one school site.

A new pool which forms a major part of PE lessons for all students took the place of the actively used Amy Rd pool when that Campus closed.
