At Blomfield we develop personalised learning plans with parents and students. These are called Personalised Learning Plans (PLP’s) for students up to age 16. Students older than 16 years have a Personalised Pathway Summary (PPS) working on the pathway beyond school with a focus on life skills.
Plans are developed in a meeting with the class teacher in Term One which is an opportunity to decide what the goals for student are for the year.
PLP Plans are written for each student with additional focus on the five key competencies (Poutama) to form goals which the school agrees to work on in consultation with family, students and relevant agencies. The plans also include Mathematics, Literacy, Te Ao Māori and Aquatic goals along with class goals on each of the other curriculum areas (Science, Social Science, Technology, the Arts and Health and P.E.)
Students will have a personalised plan with goals in the following areas:
Mana Reo/ Communication | Whakaaro/Thinking | Hauora/Wellbeing | Whai wahi/Social | Hoatu/Giving
All Plans are reviewed with the family and student every six months or sooner if required.
PPS Plans for the older students focus on three main areas decided by the whanau, student and school team to develp strategies that will lead to more independence when they leave skills.
