Friends of The Jean Seabrook Memorial School

Friends of The Jean Seabrook Memorial School Keep up to date with activities, events and fundraising for JSMS (Jean Seabrook Memorial School).

In February 2005 The Seabrook McKenzie Trust opened a full time school. This was the culmination of years of planning, sparked by frequent requests for this type of service from parents who had children with severe SLD that were not coping emotionally or educationally in the mainstream. The aim of the school is to help these children acquire strategies to deal with their specific barriers to learning. Teaching methods include consolidation of weaker skills, using a structured multisensory approach to literacy and numeracy, and using the child's strengths to develop compensatory strategies. Focus is on remediation rather than accommodation, with the goal of reinsertion in the mainstream whenever and as soon as possible.

Hi it’s been quite a while since I posted on here. A few parents are keen to have a JSMS reunion so a date has been set.

15 September at Seabrook MacKenzie Centre
12.30

It will be amazing to see everyone again. I have emailed and sent text message to everyone I can but have lost contact details for quite a few. Please pass on to any other parents you know.

Looking forward to having a big catch-up

Great to see the children’s confidence improve each week. Horse riding is the highlight of the week for most of them.

On Monday we spent the day with Steve at Trees for Canterbury. We learned about NZ native plants and trees and worked hard shifting crates of kahikatea plants.
What a great day and a great place to spend a day at.

I have to share a quote from one of our wonderful children.
“Maybe wind going backwards is God smelling a flower”
Love it ☺️
