What we do

Learning Support Coordinators (LSC) help you to access ​the support you need.

What is learning support? He aha te tautoko akoranga? 

It encompasses the range of practices, systems, supports, and services that help children and young people with diverse strengths and needs to experience success in their learning and relationships. These are underpinned by the inclusive values that ensure that education settings are welcoming places for all learners and their whānau. Around one in five children and young people will need learning support at some time during their years at school. This might be because of disability, learning difficulties, disadvantage, physical or mental health, or behaviour issues. 

LSCs work closely alongside:

• Akonga  / Students to learn about their specific preferences, needs and approaches to learning

• Kaiako / Teachers  to empower them to better meet the needs and remove barriers for our learners 

• Whānau / Parents and Caregivers to build effective relationships and work together on creating effective learning support plans

• Community by networking, working across the school cluster and sharing information as needed

• Tumaki / Leadership Team by reporting on data and trends, developing strategic learning support goals and enhancing learning across the school. 

• Kahui Ako by working together to share information, discuss evidence-based research and spot trends across the cluster, help support smooth transitions between schools, and collaborate on cluster-wide projects.
