Twizel Area School - Learning Support
Learning Support is used to assist students with specific learning needs.
Specific learning needs include students who are over a year below the national expectations for their year level, or who need learning support to master a necessary skill. It also includes students at our school who have been designated ORS by the Ministry of Education or ICS (in class support) by the RTLB.
Learning support for these students is provided through the Special Education Grant, T.A.S, Board of Trustees funds, ORS funding, High Health Needs support, and ESOL and Reading Recovery allocation from the MOE. Occasionally funding is provided through the RTLB service of Group Special Education for a specific purpose (e.g. transition).
