Canine Comprehension

In addition to the Personal and Social Capabilities curriculum that is delivered to all students, the school engages with Canine Comprehension, a specialist program designed to harness the power of Animal-Assisted Intervention (AAI) with well-trained certified therapy dogs.

The AAI programs, differentiated according to age and learning levels, provides targeted Social-Emotional (SE) learning opportunities to various cohorts throughout the year, to further develop their understanding and skills in social communication and interaction including empathy for others and relationships, as well as recognising and regulating their own emotions to foster their self-worth, self-awareness and personal identity.
