Our small new entrant and early years team has three classes onsite at May Rd Primary School, and one class at each of our Dominion Rd School, Oranga Primary and St Andrews Rd (StAR) sites. We take a holistic approach and run a rich and varied programme, which is largely student initiated and student led. Learning is fostered through exploration and play. A range of approaches suited to various student need is employed: sensory programmes, intensive interaction, as well as a more structured TEACCH approach and Attention Autism. Each student is supported to develop a relevant communication system. Learning is fun and topics for exploration are drawn from the NZ Curriculum.
