Inclusive Education

Aurora College prides itself on being able to provide inclusive education for a very diverse range of students. The college welcomes students with significant physical and cognitive needs, as well as students who have mental health and high health needs or identify as being neuro diverse.

All students are mainstreamed except for those who are in the Ongoing Resourcing Scheme (ORS). These students will have a weekly timetable that is a combination of mainstream classes and an individualised programme. Students benefit from the involvement of Active Southland for an introduction to several sports through an adapted programme. Special Olympics New Zealand provide the opportunity for students to compete in sporting competitions throughout the year.
