Auckland South Unit
The Auckland region is serviced by several NHS units. The Auckland South team is located in a dedicated building within the grounds of Kauri Flats School, 181 Walters Road, Takanini. This unit covers the wider South Auckland region, north to Mt Wellington, south to Te Kauwhata and east to Beachlands.
NHS Auckland South unit teachers work with school age students in the community who meet Northern Health School admission criteria. Education programmes are planned in association with staff of the student's regular school and may include Te Aho O Te Kura Pounamu (Correspondence School) subjects. An ILP (Individual Learning Plan) is developed for each student in association with their school of enrolment, parents, and any others who may be involved in their wellbeing.
NHS teachers visit students in their homes and, depending on their health needs, students may attend NHS student support centre or their school of enrolment on a part-time basis. When the time is appropriate, the NHS teacher will help transition the student back to school on a full-time basis.
When visiting students in the community, teachers have the use of an NHS vehicle; however, should a vehicle be unavailable, teachers will be expected to use their own vehicle and be reimbursed according to the teacher's collective agreement.
ICT is an integral part of Northern Health School's administration, programme development, and student record activities. Teachers in all of our units must be prepared to use ICT extensively in the course of their work.
Teachers are responsible to the unit associate principal and supported by a teacher aide/office administrator.
