EALD at Oakhill Drive PS

EAL/D stands for English as an additional language or dialect. At Oakhill Drive Public School, we have specialist EAL/D teachers to support our EAL/D students. The school ensures inclusive teaching practices which recognise and value the backgrounds and cultures of all students.​ Students who have language backgrounds other than English will be supported to become competent users of Standard Australian English for interpersonal and academic purposes.​ There are different types of support available to EAL/D students such as class support, withdrawal groups and the New Arrival teaching program. The needs of our EALD students are monitored throughout their primary years of schooling. The video below outline how the EAL/D program is implemented at Oakhill Drive Public School.
