Karonga School offers a number of therapy services that are generously provided for by our Parents & Citizens Association.
Our school also collaborates with private and NDIS funded therapists.
P&C funded therapies: music therapy
Jack Tickner provides a class-based music therapy program where he sees each class once a week for approximately 45 minutes. Jack also works closely with the school Learning and Support Team (LaST) to provide priority one-to-one music therapy support for specific students.
P&C funded therapies: swimming
Qualified swim teachers work with our staff and students once a week, for approximately 1 hour. The swim teachers and RFF teacher provide personalised whole class lessons where our students develop their swim safety and survival skills.
P&C funded therapies: hydrotherapy
This therapy is based on a physiotherapy approach, allowing our students with high support needs to access the water in a safe and enjoyable environment. It is also provided once a week for approximately 1 hour.
External (private and NDIS-funded) therapies
Private and NDIS-funded therapy will only be considered where there is a direct link with the student's individual Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) goals and their NDIS plan. The Learning and Support Team (LaST), in consultation with class staff and the principal, give careful consideration to the impact of the therapy on all students in the class.
External therapy will only occur between 12:00 noon and 3:00pm, excluding break times (1:55pm – 2:30pm).
There are 5 key steps for parents and carers who seek to have private or NDIS-funded services delivered at Karonga.
