SEAT building & team building!

Year 7, 8 and 9 students from Holroyd School Merrylands built their SEATs with the help from Year 11 & 12 students from Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Streets, Key College.

Holroyd School supports students with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities. Many of the students have multiple disabilities. What a valuable and meaningful learning experience about participation in the local Merrylands community with two very different schools assisting each other.

“Our students have had a wonderful time building SEATs and exploring the character of SEAT in their classes”, says classroom teacher Emma Bruce. “The S.E.A.T Project provided our students with opportunities to develop relationships and further their social skills. We used the project to engage in team building and peer support activities by connecting with other classes and community members external to our school setting”.

“The students are looking forward to a whole-school art exhibition at the end of term where we will showcase their efforts to both our school and local community. The students have chosen to gift their class SEATs to the community organisations that have special and significant meaning to them.”
