Plunket Early Childhood units are used nationwide in Year 6 through to Year 13 in many subject areas including Health and Physical Ed, Gateway, Transition and Psychology.

The units have been extensively redeveloped and now offer theory, practice and independent student research with less workbook assessment, allowing for more interaction time with the Educator and with our Parent Volunteers and their children.
