Our Curriculum Day was an opportunity for our blind and low vision ākonga to get together and practise some life skills, whilst having fun in the process. Amongst the many activities was creating your own hamburger and pouring a cold drink for yourself.
A local print-making artist, Eliza, taught akonga the process involved in screen printing simple images onto t-shirts. The images were either created by them or researched on their technology device beforehand.
With input from the Halberg Disability Sports Adviser, Parafed Otago and the Blind Foundation, the day naturally lent itself to good opportunities for team collaboration and interprofessional practice.
A great day was had by all, with big hugs at the end, before students went their separate ways. The new friendships formed or social connections gained, was just wonderful to see.
