Special Learning programmes

Te Whānau Korowai Atawhai 

Children and young people learn best when they feel accepted, when they enjoy positive relationships with their fellow learners and teachers, and when they are able to be active, visible members of the learning community.

Enacting Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles, inclusive learning communities do the right thing by learners and communities (tika), with integrity (pono) and with care and sincerity (aroha).

At James Cook High School our educators have the knowledge and the strategies that enable them to deliver a rich, engaging curriculum that is adaptive and personalised for the students.

Teen Parent Unit

The Teen Parent Unit supports school-aged students who are pregnant or who already have tamariki. Their mission statement is TAONGA (Totally Acknowledging Our Next Generation’s Abilities).
