Life and Living Pathway Great Oaks College
The Life and Living Pathway offers two courses for students who need to develop practical skills in order to be as independent as possible, and who may also be working towards accessing community groups, transitioning into supported living or volunteering in life after learning.
Across both courses, our practical and community-based learning is complimented by small group tutorials across English, Maths, ICT and PSHEC, in which students will develop their functional literacy and numeracy skills, communication skills, digital skills and understanding of the world around them. Stduents also access specialist programs such as Lego Therapy, Attention Autism, Keyboarding Without Tears and SOSAFE as appropriate.
Our purpose-designed rooms provide a structured, meaningful learning environment in which students can develop their skills in line with EHCP and therapy outcomes. Access to a wide range of community facilities and volunteering links with local organisations enables students to generalise these skills across settings. Students can develop their social interaction and self-regulation skills within our outdoor area, which is fitted with gym equipment in addition to a group seating area, swings, trampoline and accessible roundabout.
