- mainstream, specialist and specific purpose. 3 Major Phases Monash Children's Hospital School delivers education services alongside a patient's treatment, recovery and reintegration to school/education setting. Treatment Phase We establish and maintain contact with the young person's regular school in a supportive and confidential manner in order to provide continuity and connectedness with their learning. During this phase, MCHS staff members teach, liaise and advocate with, and for, the young person. Recovery Phase We engage with the young person's family, Monash Children's Hospital medical and health personnel, ELMHS treating team members and key staff from the student's regular school. This role assists the continuity of the patient's education while they are recovering at home.



This is an important phase to make sure that the young person stays connected with their education and school. Reintegration Phase We provide support to the young person, their family and the base school to assist in a smooth and positive reintegration back to school/education. MCHS staff can provide advice about return to school planning and with other key stakeholders will develop strategies that further strengthen this process.
