Ko Taku Reo & Deaf Education New Zealand
"Transforming Learning for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Learners"
Ko Taku Reo (Deaf Education New Zealand) provides educational services to Deaf and hard of hearing students across the country. Students who enrol in the Ko Taku Reo receive their day to day educational programmes through Ko Taku Reo Provisions in eight schools around Auckland City.
We are very proud to welcome you to the Ko Taku Reo provision at Ormiston Junior College. The Ko Taku Reo provision forms a fundamental part of OJC in providing inclusive, personalised and innovative learning to around 20 deaf and hard of hearing learners in Year 7 to 10.
The Ko Taku Reo provision is staffed with Deaf Eduction New Zealand teachers of the deaf, New Zealand Sign Language interpreters and educational assistants. In addition to these full-time staff, the learners also have access to the Ko Taku Reo specialist services team that visit the provision regularly to support individual needs in areas of speech therapy, audiology, counselling, New Zealand Sign Language and Māori Deaf Culture.
The Ko Taku Reo learners are taught by the specialist teachers of the deaf in the provision for English, Maths and NZSL. For all other learning areas and various OJC school and community experiences, they are actively involved alongside their hearing peers.
