The onsite English Language Centre (ELC) provides all our overseas students from non-English speaking backgrounds with a sound and positive preparation for the commencement of their education in Australia. Our highly qualified, experienced, and supportive teachers develop and deliver intensive English language instruction at secondary level. Class sizes are small (capped at 12 students) while contact hours are high. The English Language Centre operates 5 days per week on our school site and in line with our mainstream timetable to allow for mainstream integration when students are ready. Students adapt quickly to the Australian education system and culture as we approach teaching and learning through a variety of explicit learning styles.
Students are enrolled into the intensive English Language program for 20 weeks and can be integrated into some mainstream classes during this time based on their academic strengths. The English Language Centre will continue to assist and support students after they have moved into mainstream subjects and all ELC students are included in all International social events to support their personal growth.
