Learning Support

---

As we all know, there are no two children alike when it comes to learning. Every child learns at different paces. Sometimes children are quick to grasp new concepts and other times they need time to explore learning in different ways to make sense of it. A number of children need additional support to help with their learning.  

At St. Leonards Rd school our staff are committed to ensuring every child accesses the curriculum and support they need to learn. Working collaboratively as a team, this sees each child make visible progress and successfully achieve their goals. 

To help our children achieve success in their learning we: 

• Make language culture and identity visible in our classrooms which we know, leads to successful achievement outcomes.
• Cater for each child's learning needs making sure they can access the curriculum.  
• Provide support to children who need additional help.
• Equip our teaching staff with the resources and professional development they need to support student success.

At St. Leonards Road School, we have Kaiāwhina (Teacher Aides) who help tamariki with their learning in the following support programmes:    

• StepsWeb
• Rainbow Reading
• NELI (Nuffied Early Language Intervention)
• Reading Eggs 
• ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)
