Ruru Specialist School is situated in Invercargill. We teach students with identified high and very high educational needs who receive Ongoing Resourcing (ORS) through the Ministry of Education and a number of other students with moderate needs.
All students at Ruru Specialist School are enrolled under Section 9 of the Education Act 1989.
The school consists of a well-resourced base-school, five satellite classes, a vocational programme that specialises in preparation for life and a flat to develop skills need for independent living.
Our Satellite classes are situated at Salford Primary School, Donovan Primary School, Verdon College (2 classes) and Southern Institute of Technology (SIT)
