Doonside Technology High School is a co-educational Years 7–12 inclusive high school with a solid focus on explicit teaching strategies and comprehensive wellbeing structures.

The Support Unit provides for 74 students with mild, moderate and severe intellectual disabilities. The school proudly celebrates this diversity and ensures all students are actively included in every aspect of school life.
