Introducing our Learning Support programme

Everyone learns differently. We've got you.

Learning Support refers to the additional support some ākonga need to engage and achieve in education.

If you need extra help with learning, we'll work with you and your whānau to make a plan. We support many needs – learning, social, emotional, or physical – and help you find your strengths.

At Te Kura, diversity and difference are celebrated in inclusive school and community contexts. We believe that the tumu of Learning Support are inclusion of ākonga, engagement of whānau, and empowerment of kaimahi.

Some forms of Learning Support will require additional funding, while other supports are provided as part of our delivery of personalised learning.

Some government agencies such as the Ministry of Education, ACC and Oranga Tamariki provide external funding. In some cases Te Kura may be able to provide internal funding for teacher aides or Special Assessment Conditions (SAC).

If you have any questions about your eligibility or your Learning Support needs, please contact your Te Kura kaimanaaki or your regional Team Leader Learning Support.
