Class learning is supplemented with special programmes of support for pupils. Throughout the year a range of interesting and challenging programmes are offered to: 

Gifted  & Talented Education: Information on Gifted & Talented education at Titirangi Primary can be found by clicking here.

Reading/Language Support: Small group/individual tuition clearly targeted to the needs of those pupils needing a catch-up in literacy. 

Friendship/Motivation and/or General Learning Support: Targeting the specific needs of pupils through programmes led by teachers, teacher aides, trained parents and/or outside expertise. All are designed to develop skills in a positive learning environment.

Behaviour: Teachers at this school work positively with children, encouraging high standards of work, genuine effort and responsible behaviour. When a misdemeanour occurs, some appropriate form of punishment may be given. Where necessary, this will include consultation with parents. We have a zero tolerance to bullying policy and will quickly deal with all instances of verbal or physical bullying brought to our attention. The key focus is on empowering pupils with strategies to deal with situations they may encounter.
