Senior students attend Sara Cohen's Base School at Rutherford Street, where they enjoy a safe and relaxed campus with peers. The seniors' programme follows the New Zealand Curriculum and in addition provides many and varied opportunities for community involvement and work experience.

Senior groups develop skills to help them independently access community recreation and leisure pursuits.

There are four classes with students of varying age and ability. Three groups focus on furthering functional life skills in literacy, numeracy and communication. For the senior, more able group, emphasis is on work experience and life beyond school.
