Orange Gum

Teacher: Talicia Dodd

Education Assistants: Kate, Sam, Leonie, Anic & Nikki.

Orange Gum is the latest classroom to be added to Carson Street School. Our class is made up of seven students ranging from Kindy to Year 2. Orange Gum is an Aspects of Conductive Education (ACE) class. This means we are lucky enough to have experienced Teacher Conductor, Shona Ballantyne, supporting us so that students can access Conductive Education.

Priorities for these students include communication, balanced literacy, changes of position/active transfers and switching skills (ICT). We like to get messy with fun play, sensory and art activities to help facilitate the learning of these skills! Orange Gum also engages in the Carson Street School ‘Rainbow Way’ Six Kinds of Best values program by attending assemblies, Rainbow Rallies and exploring the values in class. Students attend specialist classes once a week – Swimming, Music and Physical Education. We are excited for a fun-filled year of learning in Orange Gum!
