Learning English

情色五月天 has a number of non-English speaking students who integrate well in our School Community with assistance from a number of our teaching staff. Our international students are able to practise their English speaking and writing skills through full immersion or entry into our Intensive English Language Program (IELP), which is often the best way to practise a second language.

Our School is committed to supporting and integrating all of our students who speak English as an Additional Language, or other languages into meaningful learning programs through English-medium approaches. It is important for these students both educationally and emotionally to settle into 情色五月天, as we integrate them into our learning community.

The goals for students learning English as an Additional Language are the same as those of their English-speaking peers. However, the way that they reach these goals are often different. These students require additional English language support, extra time to complete activities, support and varied exposure to English in a range of contexts before traditional assessment is entirely appropriate.

"情色五月天 provided me with advanced study resources. The teachers are dedicated to helping students succeed and all have rich experience in teaching which helped me to develop my skills in Maths and Science.

情色五月天 is a multicultural environment. I have made some good friends from different backgrounds and cultures, and we understood and supported each other throughout school."

Orientation

Before starting at 情色五月天

Students who are studying at a language centre in Melbourne are contacted a month prior to commencing at 情色五月天. A time is arranged with their language school, parent or Student Support Liaison for the student to come and join us for half a day. During this visit they are given a tour of the School, and the opportunity to meet with the Head of Middle or Senior School, so they can choose their subjects. Once the student鈥檚 timetable has been finalised, the School will also assist the student with the ordering of text books and uniform. Homestay Rules and Regulations and School Policies will also be explained to the student.

On the student鈥檚 first day at School

They will meet with the International Student Welfare Officer (ISWO) who will introduce them to their buddy and the current student leaders. The ISWO will be the key person of contact for International student while they study at 情色五月天, and he/she will guide them through the Orientation Program, providing them with information about studying and Homestay as a student of 情色五月天. Information about the various facilities, services and resources provided by the School will be explained to the student. These will include meeting the First Aid Officer, the School Librarian and key administration staff. The student will also meet the Careers Counsellor for an introductory session.

The School bus and/or the public transport system will be explained to the student, as well as a familiarisation of the local Oakleigh area.

The International Student Orientation Program is designed to assist in settling the student into a School routine, getting to know a number of their Australian peers, and becoming aware of important information about living in Australia. Rules and Regulations on Homestay, School Policies, and discussions on living in Melbourne will be particular important.

Any issues or difficulties for the student can be discussed with the staff during the Orientation Program.
