The student population is culturally diverse with families who have backgrounds which include over 28 languages, including English and 64% of students with Language Background Other Than English (LBOTE). Our students with limited English are supported by a 0.8 EAL teacher, who provides students the opportunity to develop their oral and literacy skills in small groups. The school has increased practices of inclusion for students and families who are refugees and/or who have experienced trauma. This work was undertaken in partnership with Foundation House. The next step to promote and develop community connections is the development of a Community Hub.
