Our small new entrant and early years team has two classes at St Andrews Rd site (StAR) and three classes at the May Rd Primary School Satellite. 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.
