🌈 Neurodiversity Whānau Sessions – Everyone is Welcome!

Do you have a neurodivergent child or young person in your whānau? Or do you know someone in our wider community who does?

We warmly invite all Panama Road School whānau and members of our wider community to join us for our upcoming FREE Neurodiversity Whānau Sessions.

These practical sessions are designed to help whānau better understand and support neurodivergent tamariki, with useful strategies that can be used in everyday life at home and at school.

🌱 PRIMARY WHĀNAU – TONIGHT!
📅 Wednesday 9 September
⏰ 6.30pm
📍 Panama Road School
💚 Learn about emotional regulation, routines and sensory supports, and practical ways to help tamariki return to calm.

🧡 INTERMEDIATE WHĀNAU
📅 Wednesday 16 September
⏰ 6.30pm
📍 Panama Road School
💚 Practical strategies for supporting neurodivergent tamariki and young people across home and school settings.

You do not need to be a Panama Road School family to attend. Please share this post or invite friends, relatives, neighbours or other whānau in our community who may benefit.

✨ FREE to attend • Practical support • Everyone welcome

Sometimes one helpful strategy can make a big difference for a child and their whānau. Come along, learn, connect and share.

DO YOU HAVE A CHILD STARTING SCHOOL SOON?

Panama Road School is already planning ahead for our 2027 New Entrants, and we need the help of our whānau!

If you have a child who will be turning 5 years old and starting at Panama Road School anytime between now and the end of March 2027, we would really appreciate you coming into the school office to pre-enrol them as soon as possible.

Even if their 5th birthday is still several months away, please enrol them now.

Knowing how many children are coming helps us to plan carefully for:

👩‍🏫 Staffing and class numbers
📚 Teaching and learning programmes
🤝 Learning support and individual needs
🌱 A positive and well-planned transition from ECE to school

Please don’t wait until your child turns five to enrol. Early enrolment makes a big difference to our planning and helps us make sure everything is ready to welcome your child.

If your child is due to start at Panama Road School between now and 31 March 2027, please visit our school office and complete their pre-enrolment.

Please also share this message with friends, family and neighbours who may have a child starting at Panama Road School.

We can’t wait to welcome our newest tamariki to the Panama Road School whānau!

Learning Together, Success Every Day

This is an amazing opportunity to hear from professionals in the field as to how we can better support our children at home and at school.

Please note that this is an open invitation to any whānau at ECE or at primary school level with neurodivergent children. If you know of any families who may benefit from this, please extend a warm invitation to them.
