We assess each student’s literacy and numeracy levels at the start of Year 9 and monitor their progress. We offer literacy and numeracy programmes in Year 9 and 10 for more targeted support.

Our Literacy and Numeracy Coordinators work with staff to lift student achievement in these areas.

Our Learning Support Department:

• Places students in classes that meet their learning needs

• Provides Teacher Aides to work with students in classrooms
• Offers tutorial help to students who need more assistance
• Offers specialist reading classes in Years 9 and 10

• Offers constructive support to students whose behaviour affects their learning, working with students, caregivers and whānau in a range of ways
• Provides access to external agencies where appropriate.
