Laughing Lions Classroom

A class for older students who are able to study at mainstream level and in a different situation, would be able to go to regular school. They study an abridged version of the mainstream Vietnamese curriculum, plus partake of all the creative components of the Kianh school curriculum, such as art, yoga, dance and performance. Vocational training is a large part of this class as we support the students to discover what they would like to do and be in their adult life. Students in this class typically have physical challenges from Cerebral Palsy, mild learning difficulties or are high-functioning autistic. The physically able students assist their school friends with Cerebral Palsy when necessary, whilst the students with physical challenges model social behaviour and communication for them in return. Graduation to this class has had a particularly good impact on the behaviour and communication skills of several students who live with Autism.
