The Intensive English Centre program assists students from a wide variety of educational, language and cultural backgrounds, to learn or further develop knowledge of the English language. Here at Dianella Primary College, we currently cater for children in Years 1 to 6.
The IEC works closely with families and external agencies to assist with the transition into a new school environment and culture. This includes helping students and their families adjust to life in Australia and feel confident in their new community.
Our school values the opportunity to build strong, positive relationships with families who are new to the school. The entire school community warmly welcomes IEC students and their families, ensuring they feel included, supported, and respected.
The Intensive English Centre caters for students who:
- Are newly arrived in Australia and come from a language background other than English.
- Were born in Australia from a non-English speaking background and who begin school with limited English literacy skills.
- have completed Kindy and Pre-Primary within Australia and still require English support.
The Intensive English Centre is an integrated program with students playing and participating in whole school activities, such as sport and assemblies. Students are taught by qualified and experienced English as a Second Language Teachers in small classes, allowing the teacher to work intensively with students.
