Teaching Refugees in my Classroom
Refugee students are supported by a Refugee co-ordinator, counsellors and classroom teachers who have completed the 'Teaching Refugees in my Classroom' course. This ensures that students are supported academically and reach their potential at school. Our staff have an awareness of cultural differences and are sensitive to the journey undertaken by refugees and their families.
Refugee Week
Whole school activities, excursions, inter cultural and school visits are undertaken during Refugee Week to ensure awareness of the plight of refugees and to promote an inclusive environment. Guest speakers have included ex-refugee students, authors and community members. The race commissioner Mr Soutphommasane attended our Refugee Week school assembly and spoke about his own inspiring journey and the importance of a multi cultural and supportive Australian society.
We encourage refugee students to enrol at our school and we pledge to support their academic and emotional needs.
