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 ☺️

Fox has discovered that he can use the three times tables to calculate the six times. Numicon has been a useful tool to give a visual representation.

A grateful parent’s comments. (With permission and Name omitted)
thanks for such a wonderfully detailed school report. The difference in my child this year is hard to express. It is so significant and this year will make a huge difference for him for the rest of his life. He is currently singing away to himself and practicing his whistling which is always a sign that he is happy. That is all thanks to you and the other staff at school!
Thank you for having my son as part of Seabrook.

Sad to say goodbye to a special student today but at the same time excited that he is ready to embark on the next step in his learning. This is the story of Jean Seabrook Memorial School. Equipping children, who are struggling, to re enter mainstream again when they are ready.

The children have been accumulating points entitling them to a variety of activities. The vote today was in favour of construction time.
Creative juices are flowing.
