Dunlea Centre - Engadine, New South Wales

Do not send your children here. Vulnerable children are not kept safe. Reputation is more important than student wellbeing. Victims get made to feel like perpetrators to silence them.

My experience with Dunlea is through a close family friend whose daughter attended the centre. I became involved as I was trying to support them through a difficult time and so I was present during numerous interactions with staff and got to see first hand how kind, caring and professional they were. Dunlea provides an educational experience centred on individual needs and educating the "whole person". In an ideal world, this would be available to all students, and for the families that become part of this centre, their wholistic approach can be life-changing. As with any education, you get out what you put in; the staff there cannot do the hard work for you, but they will be there every step of the way to provide guidance, and support and to celebrate with you when you achieve your goals.

From the first time we entered Dunlea until this very day, we have been truly blessed by this incredible team of wonderful human beings. The life skills and new techniques our daughter (and us) have learned have turned our lives around. Thank you for bringing confidence, positivity, joy and faith back to our family.

My son commenced at Dunlea Centre in 2018 as a year 8 student. Although a daunting and difficult decision, it has been the best decision and an absolutely life-changing experience not only for him but for our family unit.

Dunlea Centre has brought out the best in him not only academically, but emotionally and socially. The support of all of the staff as a whole has allowed my son to reach his full potential and achieve his goals.

Dunlea Centre goes above and beyond to ensure that each young person is supported and cared for with programs that are tailored to their individual needs. Their commitment and dedication to each and every student that attends is seccond to none. This has been paramount to his success and has provided him with the opportunity to become a respectable, independent, confident student and member of society.

As a parent, I too have had many benefits of the program offered. I always feel that I am supported and heard.

Communication is always open and the staff have exceeded my expectations and beyond to ensure that I am informed and involved in the planning and maintenance of my son's goals. This inclusion allows me to support my son in the best way possible and again allows for him to reach his full potential.

I will be forever grateful to all of the staff at Dunlea Centre. Each and every one of them plays such an important role in the programs provided and ensures that their students are always well cared for, safe, and provided with the opportunity to reach their maximum potential.

I am very proud to say that my son will be graduating later this year with his HSC.
This is something that would not have been possible without Dunlea Centre!

A great big thank you to all of the staff!

Worst thing I ever did was send my child to this place.
He still has anxiety because of the bullying and the horrible experiences he endured there.
If you care about your child, DO NOT send them to Dunlea!
