Auckland Secondary Schools' Centre (ASSC) is an Activity Centre based in Herne Bay.

Attending the Centre provides a necessary 'time-out' for secondary schhol students to reflect on their behaviours, learn strategies they can practice in a small environment and make positive changes to their behaviours before returning to their referring school.  Students become dual-enrolled with ASSC and their referral school.

Success for students occurs when they are referred to us earlier rather than later, before their behaviours have become entrenched.


Goals of the Centre:

·         To provide a safe and secure environment in which students can further their academic and social development.

·         To provide models of behaviour which enable students to relate with others in positive ways.

·         To encourage students to make appropriate changes in their behaviours in order for them to function successfully in a regular                 school or in the work force.

·         To work with parents and caregivers to bring about changes in student behaviours in both the home and school.

·         To ensure that referring schools are well serviced by the Centre.
