Grief Education - Seasons for Growth:
Sometimes a child just needs someone to listen. Seasons for growth is an eight-week, school and community-based programme where children support each other and learn to express their feelings. It is an education programme - not counselling or therapy. Our trained facilitators help children work towards an acceptance of what has happened in their family. For more information contact Kathi at CO REAP.

Dare to by You:
A 20-session story therapy programme that assists learners to look at positive choices.

One Day School for Gifted and Talented Students:
Students are referred by either their teacher or parent to be assessed for the programme. The One Day School is aligned to the George Parkyn Centre for Gifted Education, and is based on the REACH programme. Two schools are based in Alexandra and one in Wanaka. Presently the programme is jointly funded by Central Otago REAP, a Ministry of Education Innovative Funding Contract, parents and schools.

Te Reo – Tikanga – Schools:
Central Otago REAP employs two itinerant Maori teachers who visit 14 schools once a week. The programme focuses on language and tikanga development. This is a joint Central Otago REAP and Schools programme.
