English as a Second Language (ESOL) Being a multi-cultural school enriches us. There is a small number who are ESOL students. These children are privately funded, or centrally funded from the Ministry of Education. We employ a teacher and teacher aides to assist students who come from a language background other than English in either a one-on-one basis or in a small group for as long as it is required. The students will have many opportunities to practise their speaking, listening, reading and writing in specially planned activities. If you would like your child to attend this caring school, where they would learn in a wonderful, rural, family atmosphere, please contact us. |
