Transition Programme
Transition Programme
The Transition Programme aims to prepare students with confidence and independence for life outside the school environment.
Students learn how to interact with others in their environment by placing orders, making requests and purchasing goods. Students will also learn how to access facilities and practice various independent living skills such as grooming, shopping and preparing a meal.
Students who are ready for employment will get the chance to explore pre-vocational skills that will enable them to work in a structured workplace. We focus on the areas below and develop resources to teach it well. We work collaboratively with the therapists to ensure each child reaches their individual goals. Students will graduate with a certificate from The GUILD International College.
Areas of Learning
Under the guidance of our experienced teachers, students will be involved in an enriching arts-based programme that introduces them to music, dance, drama and more.

We aim to bring students together to practise and perform while respecting each other, so they can share their skills, communicate with confidence, as well as discover their love for the arts.
Students engage with a variety of texts for learning and enjoyment. They listen to, read, view and interpret spoken, written and multimodal texts .
Students are provided with experiences that engage, support and extend their learning, including the use of pictorial representations or other marks to express and record their ideas.
The Mathematics curriculum focuses on equipping students with functional numeracy concepts like recognising numbers, concept of measurement, time, money etc which will in turn help them to lead a independent life.
We help students to learn real-world math skills that will help them in real-life situations. Practical examples from their daily lives helps them on a deeper, more intuitive level, helping them to turn abstract concepts into a concrete learning experience
We focus on enabling students to interact and play constructively with others and to establish friendships with peers. The curriculum provides opportunity for students to begin establishing and naming the skills required to work in groups. Students learn to show an awareness of their feelings and needs of others.

Through discussion with teachers, students learn to apply safe practices to protect themselves and others as they interact online for learning and communicating.
Across the band, students will have had the opportunity to create a range of digital solutions through guided play and integrated learning, such as using robotic toys to navigate a map or recording science data with software applications.
We aim to provide students with the skills and knowledge required to successfully transition to each student and may include hands on training, internships and other experiential learning opportunities. workplace or structured workplace.
The programmes are tailored to meet the specific needs of our students.
