Alternative Learning Environment

Alternative Learning Environment - ALE

Alternative Learning Education is made up of 4 classes at Base school and OakTEC (our tertiary setting). In ALE we are proud to be the alternative.

Base

Our Base setting supports learners who need the freedom and flexibility that an on-site campus provides. Amongst other curriculum approaches at Base, the Arts are a fundamental focus for teaching and learning, to support the growth of social skills, self-awareness and self-confidence/independence. The foundation of all our teaching and learning is based upon the reciprocity of adult/learner relationships; reading and intuiting what our learners individually need and adapting the space and programming to allow for this. We are unique and ever-evolving.

OakTEC

Our programme at OakTEC (Oaklynn Tertiary Education Centre) is designed to cater for the needs of our tertiary aged learners who are in their last few years at school. Our learners participate in individualised programmes that aim to build greater independence in the community and to further develop skills that support post-school life. OakTEC is a lively modern learning environment with a real tertiary feel, situated close to a vibrant community in the heart of New Lynn. We are within minutes of work experience providers, local shops, Lynnmall, Les Mills Gym, the New Lynn public library and the New Lynn public transport hub.
