INFORMATION

Albany School recognises that the enrolment of students from different cultures brings a richness and diversity to the School and the education we offer.

We aim to:

  • promote an exciting and dynamic teaching environment,
  • prepare students for the internationally integrated world, and to
  • develop an international perspective for all of our students.

All of our international students are encouraged to participate in ELL lessons matched to their needs. The School currently has a specialist room, staffed by an English Language Teacher who works with small groups. In addition, children are well supported in their learning by their Class Teachers and English Language Assistants. Our classes are small and progress can be rapid.

To ensure that our international students gain the most from their New Zealand education and experience we provide a buddy and peer support system within the School. Wherever possible, our international students are introduced to other children within the class or School who speak their language, thus ensuring our international students always have a friend for support in the classroom or out in the playground, should they have worries or difficulties.

Albany Primary School is bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students published by the Ministry of Education.  Copies of the code are available online at www.nzqa.govt.nz
