Intensive English language classes prepare students newly arrived in Australia to attend mainstream schooling.
The Intensive English class assists students to:
- Develop their standard Australian English skills and knowledge
- Learn about schooling and life in Australia
- Increase their knowledge of the local community and wider Australia
It is recommended by the Department of Education that students attend a school with an Intensive English program in their first year of living in Australia as the classes are well resourced for Beginning and Emerging English phase learners.
The classes are also much smaller in size with approximately 13 children per class. Each class has a qualified teacher and a bi-lingual officer who works with the students to support their learning.
Woodroffe Primary School provides a collaborative learning environment that takes pride in education and allows every child to reach their full potential. Woodroffe Primary School celebrates that there are a diverse range of students from different cultures, experiences and skills, knowledge and capabilities.
