In Green Class, we use bespoke pathways to teach the children all aspects of the curriculum with a focus on developing communication skills. Towards the end of the children’s time in Piper Centre, we prepare them for the transition to secondary school by working on the independent life skills needed for the future. During their time in Green Class, the children will also get opportunity to engage in water safety and swimming lessons.

Hi I am Kathy. I graduated in 1999 with a BEd hons degree in primary education. I worked in a mainstream setting for 12 years before having a break and starting my own family. I then decided to return to work but this time try special education. I am so pleased I chose this path as I absolutely love working with such a diverse group of young people. Every day is different and always comes filled with the satisfaction and reward of helping each individual grow and reach their full potential.
