Our Weekend Planned Break Programme is staffed by trained Community Support Workers and Teacher Aides from Auckland’s Special School network, and offers a safe, healthy and structured environment for children to spend a fun day.
The Programme takes into account each child’s individual needs, and includes planned activities such as arts and crafts, cooking, games, sports and outings to interesting places, while also allowing time for unstructured activities and fun.
We meet with families and children prior to commencement to develop a range of personalised activities, aligned to each child’s needs and goals.
These include:
When: 8.30am-4.30pm every second weekend.
Where: Our Weekend Planned Break programme alternates between Spectrum Care’s ‘Makatoa’ Aspirations Centre (5/57 Cavendish Drive, Manukau) and CASS (48 Smallfield Ave, Mt Roskill).
Cost: $117.40 (inc GST). This may change depending on your child’s support needs, as identified in the assessment meeting. Because staffing ratios are worked out in advance, payment is required even if your child is unable to attend.
