Learning | Ngā hōtaka ako

Our learning programmes focus on:

• New Zealand curriculum

• Communication skills

• Independence skills

• Social and play skills

• Everyday living.

Learning can take place both within the Centre itself or either partially or fully within the mainstream environment, with appropriate support. 

The child’s individual education plan (I.E.P.) is developed during regular meetings with whānau, teachers and therapists. Priorities for learning are discussed which inform the child's goals.

Inclusion is a priority. Emphasis is placed on ensuring all children have the opportunity to interact with their peers through participation  in aspects of school life including swimming, school trips, buddy classes, cultural groups and assemblies as appropriate to the individual.
