English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is available for Year 7 & 8 students who require it.
Students whose first language is not English are able to access language support. An initial assessment identifies the needs of the students and provision is made for learning success. Students will join an ESOL class where their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills will be developed. The goal is for students to acquire the language skills needed to participate and succeed in the mainstream.
