Mary Verykios first saw S.E.A.T at the SEPLA Conference in 2015 and immediately knew it would be perfect for her support unit girls at Auburn Girls High School. “The S.E.A.T Project has allowed our girls to problem solve, think creatively, critically and foster high order thinking in our higher ability students”. Mary says that students have worked “both collaboratively and individually to develop their social and communication skills. The girls have focused on themes appropriated from narratives in English lessons as well as HSIE topics studied throughout the year”.
“Ultimately the S.E.A.T Project has provided opportunities for the girls to develop an awareness of the global issues in the world and become active, informed citizens who are able to contribute to contemporary Australian society”, says Mary.
The Auburn Girls High School Support Unit is an inclusive and flexible learning environment dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of students with learning difficulties, intellectual disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
