The school is co-located with O'Connor Primary School and the two schools pride themselves on the collaborative relationship that exists between them. Students integrate with O'Connor Primary School students in the playground and in selected classroom activities. The inclusion plan created collaboratively by both schools promotes a multitude of opportunities for students from both schools to engage in educational activities that promote social skill development, acceptance and understanding. O'Connor ESC shares with the Primary School a library, canteen, staff room, and playground areas. The schools have a combined P&C and provide pastoral care through the breakfast program. Joint activities include the weekly assemblies, athletic faction carnival, swimming carnival, Harmony, and NAIDOC day celebrations, Year 6 camp and Year 6 graduation.

A relationship with Bega Health has begun with a shared vision to promote health, including overall health amongst our First Nations students and families. O’Connor ESC also welcomes the EarBus to school each term to support the ear health of the First Nations and at-risk children. This allows students and families who have difficulty attending medical appointments for various reasons to be seen by an Ear Screener, Nurse, GP, Audiologist and ENT on school site which offers a full medical check for each child. Staff are trained to incorporate research based teaching strategies into their teaching. Social and play skills programs are implemented with communication as the focus.
