The ISC aims to support our rangatahi (young people) to achieve all they are capable of by:

• building strong relationships between ākonga (learners), whānau (families), and kaimahi (staff)
• advocating equality and inclusion for all
• valuing the individuality of our rangatahi
• supporting our rangatahi to develop their passions
• facilitating the independence  of our rangatahi in readiness for life after school 
• being active and valued members of the Waitākere College and wider communities
• being active, healthy and gaining physical fitness as a lifelong lifestyle habit.

This supports rangatahi to develop their manawanui (perseverance), manaakitanga (knowledge), and aroha (love).  

Programmes Offered

Total Inclusion: Students have the opportunity to be mainstreamed for their entire academic programme and supported with supervised study time in the Centre with teacher aide support in class as necessary.
