Fidget Toys

We are getting an increasing amount of fidget toys at school, and they are beginning to cause a problem as they’re not being used for their intended purpose.  The purpose of a fidget toy is to help regulate the nervous system, so that concentration can take place for the learner in the classroom.

We have students who use fidget toys to support regulation in class, as this is often a recommendation to support their neurodiverse needs.  If this is the case for your child, please make contact with their teacher to discuss further.

We do not have personal toys out in the playground or at school as we cannot be responsible for them. As you can imagine it causes many concerns.

Please check your child’s bag before coming to school and remove anything that is not appropriate.  We have sports gear available for our students to use during their break times.

Thank you,
The Team at Te Kamo School.
