BLENNZ Wellington Visual Resource Centre

Welcome to the BLENNZ Wellington Visual Resource Centre, located at 27 Kowhai Road in Wellington, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, our institution serves as a school dedicated to providing specialized education and resources for visually impaired students.

At BLENNZ, we believe in ensuring that all learners have full access to the curriculum, and technology plays a vital role in achieving this goal. We offer a variety of options, including both mainstream and assistive technologies, to support learning and enhance the educational experience for our students.

In addition to our educational services, we also provide valuable information and resources on various topics. This includes documentation such as our vision, history, and Board of Trustees information. You can also get to know our dedicated staff and partner agencies who work tirelessly to support our students' needs. We have important documents available for download, including our charter, annual reports, and school term dates.

Referrals to BLENNZ can come from various sources, including parents, families, teachers, ophthalmologists, health professionals, the Blind Foundation, or the Ministry of Education. However, it is essential to have parent or caregiver consent for the referral process.

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we provide up-to-date information and resources related to the virus. You can find PDFs and Word documents from external organizations on our website. We understand that there may be concerns and questions regarding vaccinations, and we aim to address those anxieties by providing answers to common questions and access to the Ministry of Health's dedicated email for vaccination queries.

At BLENNZ, we prioritize the well-being and education of our students. We understand the challenges faced by our community, particularly in navigating through misleading COVID-19 and vaccination information circulating on social media. To combat this, we offer a range of resources to inform and empower individuals in our community.

If you share our passion for supporting visually impaired students and are interested in joining our team, we often have employment opportunities available. Visit our vacancies page for more information on current positions advertised nationwide.

Lastly, we invite you to explore our showcase of student learning videos, covering various ages and curriculum areas. You can also find clips from parents and educators sharing their experiences. This space is also a valuable source of information on resources and technology.
