Transitioning From School To Day Activities

​This can be a daunting process but we aim to make this as easy as possible for both the individual and their families.

We have been completing transitions for school leavers for a number of years and work closely with the transition coordinators from quite a few schools including:

• Pītau-Allenvale School
• Ferndale Te Ahu
• Te Kura Tuarua O Horomaka- Hillmorton High School
• Te Pukenga- Cashmere Conductive Education
• Papanui High School
• Mairehau High School
• Rangiora High School
• Ashburton College

A personal transition plan is put in place for each young individual to ease them through the transition process.
