School Support
Supporting schools to make the learning magic happen
REAP is funded through the Ministry of Education to work alongside primary and secondary schools
in Marlborough and Kaikoura, collaborating with educators for the purpose of creating learning
success. To achieve this we support students, educators, parents and whole communities to create
solutions based on their needs. In order to be as responsive as possible, there is a strong focus on
building relationships and supporting wellbeing.
We provide support in a variety of ways including:
-
Support for Provisionally Certificated Teachers and their mentors as a group or individually,
-
Assistance in developing strategic plans,
-
Leadership – mentoring and providing support for those in leadership roles,
-
Professional development support - either personally or through developing workshops,
-
Providing advice and strategies around supporting students and families through the
transition between education sectors,
-
Being proactive in providing support to develop groups and networks to meeting needs in
our learning community
-
Being involved in developing and supporting local initiatives,
-
And…anything else that fits within our brief!
