At Pekerau School there are a number of programmes operating to cater for the learning needs of the children, especially in literacy development. Children in Yr 4, 5and 6 experiencing difficulties with reading are catered for through a Tape Assisted Reading Programme. This involves both work at school and listening to a taped story at home. At Pekerau we have a growing number of children on the school roll with physical disabilities. As a result we have become familiar with the various help agencies provided by the Special Education Service. e.g. Speech Language Therapist, SES Physiotherapist, Deaf Advisor, Visual Resource Teacher. Pekerau School is also serviced by a supportive team from the Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour. Teacher Aides work in classrooms assisting teachers with targeted children and their needs. Cross grouping amongst year groups for subjects such as reading, writing and maths has allowed children to work with a group of similar needs children and allows teachers to plan appropriate programmes of work for a narrower band of abilities, therefore catering for children’s learning needs in a more effective and efficient way.
