Outreach Service

Who We Are

Our Outreach Service is a team of specialist teachers who support students with ORS funding in our mainstream local schools.  We currently have over 39 students enrolled in 18 different settings, ranging from new entrants to seniors at high school.

What We Do

As well as supporting the students we see, we work with the wider team around them e.g. teacher, teacher aide, whānau and any specialists or outside agencies involved.

How We Do It

We work in a range of ways which includes, but is not limited to: 

  • assessing a student’s learning needs

  • collaborating with classroom teachers and other specialists around programmes

  • support with planning and monitoring 

  • modelling strategies and approaches for school staff

  • differentiation of the curriculum

  • supporting transitions 

  • contributing to a student’s Individual Education Plan

At Oaklynn we are committed to increasing our local schools’ capacity to support their learners with additional needs, not just those with ORS funding.  We strive to be flexible and innovative - keeping up to date with the latest thinking and knowledge around specialist education.  We love sharing that knowledge with schools, delivering professional development for teams that focus on our students’ strengths and relationship-based interventions.

Oaklynn Centre of Extra Support

Some of our students at Oaklynn find that at different times they may prefer homeschooling over on-site learning or even a mix of both.

The Centre of Extra Support allows them to remain connected to Oaklynn's wide range of therapists and specialists.

When whānau and Oaklynn decide this is the best option, a member of our STOS team will conduct weekly visits to continue the student's programme of learning.
