The Senior Teachers participated in 5 days of Leadership Professional Development, with the team’s learning being around the new Te Mātaioho (BLENNZ Curriculum) document. We hosted a Low Vision Workshop for teachers and teacher aides, and our first Parent Workshop, which were both successful. A presentation about BLENNZ was shared with the Kids First clinical team. The Taitamahine girls’ group and Taitamariki boys’, continue to explore the BLENNZ Curriculum through EOTC days, participating in adapted curling and soccer foot golf, which the ākonga loved. The Braille Club meets fortnightly and continues to increase in size building their Braille capability.
