Additional learning support

At Wairoa school, we ensure every student is ready to learn. We support all our students additional learning needs so they can take part in all areas of school life.

Support that fits your child's needs

Some students need extra support to feel confident and do their best at school. We work closely with families to make support plans and adjustments that suits each child’s needs.

Additional learning support at Wairoa School includes:

• teachers and support staff working together with families
• specialist support for students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D)

• providing tailored programs to help high potential and gifted students with their advanced learning needs

• small group tutoring to provide targeted literacy and numeracy support for students

• regular check-ins to review and update the planned supports

• changes to the classrooms:

  • accessible classrooms
  • assistive technology
  • instructional resources

• extra guidance, adjusted content or different focus during lessons

Adjustments are planned with parents and carers. They are reviewed regularly and changed when needed.
