Course description:
This option is available to students from Year 11 to Year 13 who require extra support with learning. The option is designed to help students achieve the Numeracy and Literacy exams, Dio Level 1 and NCEA qualifications at Levels 2 and 3. Entry to this course is at the discretion of the HOD Learning Support, in consultation with the year level Dean, student and parent/caregiver.
Entry criteria:
Entry into this course will be through discussion and consultation with Mrs Peters, the year level Dean, parents/caregivers and the student. It is based on data collected from internal and external testing and evidence of a learning disability.
Future pathways:
This course is not a pre-requisite for any other course at Dio. It is a supported study option and is not on the list of university-approved subjects.
Learning Support classes are designed to help students in all curriculum areas. Students can get small group and one on one support with a teacher aide during these sessions. Our classes also provide a quiet place for students that need learning environments that have limited noise and distractions. We also make applications to NZQA for Special Assessment Conditions(SACs) and cater for these for all timed assessments (internals and externals). The learning support classes are located beside the Hub classes and students are given many opportunities to access alternative pathways as well.
