Outreach school
The Ko Taku Reo Outreach School provides specialist teaching, advice and guidance, assistive technology and NZSL support to Deaf and Hard of Hearing students enrolled in their local mainstream school. The level of specialist support provided to students is reviewed and allocated on a term-by-term basis following a process of local prioritising and moderation.
Direct teaching support
Our programme is designed to ensure inclusive access for Deaf students within a mainstream classroom, with a strong emphasis on the New Zealand Curriculum. It focuses on developing essential skills in foundation studies such as reading, writing, mathematics, and other curriculum areas, while also fostering a deeper understanding of diverse cultural perspectives, particularly the contributions of the Deaf community.
Indirect Services
Outreach school provides a responsive Advice and Guidance service that addresses an identified need including Technology support, access or service needs.
Our names for each Outreach Region
Our new regions have been gifted specific NZSL signs by our Deaf and hard of hearing colleagues. Watch the video below for an explanation of the signs and their meanings.
