INTRODUCTIONKia ora koutou. Ka mihi ki te mana whenua o Ngai Tūāhuriri. Nō Ingarangi ōku tīpuna. Ko Beccy Creswick tōku ingoa. I am an Early Intervention Teacher and have worked at the Champion Centre for the last 15 years, having worked in London prior to that. At the end of 2024, I was appointed to the role of Service Delivery and Development Lead. This is both a new role and an old one – my “Delivery Lead” role is to oversee our Service Delivery – what we deliver to the whānau and tamariki who receive our early intervention services; I am tasked with ensuring that we are evaluating and reviewing our programmes and ensuring that we are delivering the best that we can, to ensure the best outcomes for the tamariki and whānau that come to the Centre. My “Development Lead” role is to make sure that we are aware of any developments in intervention, and if they are relevant and important, then looking at how we might implement them. It is very important to me that tamariki and whānau are heard, and that you have the opportunity to share your experience and knowledge to shape what we are doing, both now and in the future. I am also looking at how we can extend our reach and influence beyond the Centre and getting the voice of our team and our Champion tamariki out into the community. Something we are currently exploring is providing tailored education to community organisations. I am always open to opportunities to kōrero with you more – please reach out if you would like to chat, or to know more. Happy reading, Beccy Creswick CENTRE HAPPENINGS
JONTY AND EMMA |
"It demonstrates his understanding as he watches how an instrument is played and imitates Sarah to play that instrument too. It's about encouraging Jonty to see that music is something he can create himself. It's an opportunity to explore new sounds and instruments together in a fun, safe environment where he wants to participate, and the session never seems long enough. Music therapy is a fun part of Jonty's therapy that he really looks forward to each week. For a child who is hard of hearing, to hear music and have such a love and passion for all things musical at only 5 and a half years old shows the true value of music therapy for Jonty. In his small world, where even his hearing aids and sign language don't become barriers for him, he has the chance to experience the joy of making sounds with musical instruments that he can actually hear and enjoy." Happy World Music Therapy Week! |
