Marist Champagnat Institute helping children with disabilities

Children with disabilities now have access to vocational education at the Marist Champagnat Institute.

A statement from the Australian High Commission said the Suva-based secondary school was the only one in Fiji that specialised in teaching vocational and mainstream curriculum to children with disabilities.

“The Marist Champagnat Institute is different from other special education schools because it is a secondary school where disabled students learn side by side with non-disabled students,” said principal Frances Varea.
