International Students
International students are welcomed and supported at CSPS. We embed an approach to teaching English as an Additional Language or Dialect in the classroom, and provide support within the experienced teacher structure. The Department of Education provides significant support online, which can assist in settling into a new school: https://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/teachers/support/diversity/eal/Pages/default.aspx
Globally, families travel for work consistently, leading to students exposed to many languages and cultures, which can be accommodated within the CSPS culture.
Annually we host and celebrate Harmony Day. Multiculturalism in Melbourne is celebrated on this day with various cultural performances, and acknowledgement of individual family cultures through dress. https://www.harmony.gov.au/
Enrolments are supported with a parent meeting, where an interpreter can be provided if needed. It would assist our processes if past reports and medical histories can be supplied at enrolment. Please ‘click here’ to download a form to bring to the first meeting.
