English as an additional language/dialect (EAL/D)

We are fortunate to have a number of EALD  students attend our school. These children come  with a rich cultural heritage and are from many countries including Africa, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Thailand. We are able to offer these students smaller class sizes where the children participate in intensive English activities to develop skills in spelling, writing, reading and listening. Our main focus this term has been safety and health. Our small classes foster an environment of comfortable learning and one-on one interaction and our students learn more about our local culture, values and society.

A new interactive board has engaged all students in new and exciting activities geared according to their current level of understanding. Students also

have additional bilingual SLSO support in their mainstream classes.
