Biala Special School was initiated by retired teachers who saw a need within their neighbourhood. Teaching first commenced in the homes of the teachers before moving to the old Lighthouse Beach Surf Club.
The demand for specialised education increased across the area and inspired community members to call a public meeting and gather support and funds to construct a Special School in Ballina. With needed funds raised and crown land provided, the school was built and doors opened in 1972 and still resides at 78 Fox Street Ballina.
Biala has grown to be a trusted provider of a broad range of disability support services and is now a registered NDIS provider. It’s operations are overseen by a voluntary Board of Directors who bring a wide range of relevant business, community and family knowledge to bear in the corporate governance of the organisation.
