Our small team has one class at St Andrews Rd site (StAR) and three classes at the May Rd Primary School Satellite. Our students have a mixture of needs and are all able to learn. 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 needs is employed: sensory programmes, intensive interaction, as well as a more structured TEACCH approach and Attention Autism. Each student is supported to develop a communication system according to their need. Learning is fun and topics for exploration are drawn from the NZ Curriculum.
