We have eight mainstream class teachers in Balla National School. In addition, we have four full-time support teachers.<\/p>

There are eight SNA’s on our staff and we have a secretary.\u00a0<\/p>

Balla N.S. is a growing school and we are delighted to announce that the school is in “design phase” of a major refurbishment and upgrade. We look forward to having new classrooms, resource room, soft play area and sensory room in the near future<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
