EAL

E.A.L. Program at Cranbourne Primary School

At Cranbourne Primary School, we are proud to offer a dedicated English as an Additional Language (E.A.L.) Program designed to support newly arrived students and all learners who have English as an additional language.

Led by a qualified E.A.L./TESOL teacher, our program provides targeted support to help students develop confidence and skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English.

Students are identified through teacher referrals and assessment, ensuring each child receives the personalised support they need to succeed in the classroom and feel connected to our school community.

Our E.A.L. sessions focus on building language for everyday communication as well as academic learning. We also help students strengthen specific skills such as reading comprehension, phonics, writing, and oral language in a supportive and inclusive environment.

At Cranbourne Primary School, we celebrate the cultural and linguistic diversity of our students and families, and we are committed to helping every learner thrive.
