Alex's time at school is coming to an end. It's a long time ago that this little cutie first started out in kindergarten:School has been a pretty happy experience for Alex.
There have been surprisingly few obstacles to overcome in making sure he was able to enjoy a pretty typical experience. Having been in ordinary classes since beginning school has given Alex a very rich experience of school that would not have been possible for him in the usual educational settings created specifically for people with disabilities. He's got to know a huge range of kids in his different classes. He's learned so much language and so many concepts from working in groups and pairs with other kids. He's been to excursions, to birthday parties, concerts, you name it.
Now we come to the last week of Year 12 school classes.
These photos are from the Year 12 & Staff dinner and the end of year concert:
Next term Alex will receive some ongoing support from school to start his post-school life in the community.
