Welcome to the ELL (English Language Learning) page. We currently have 100 ELLs (English Language Learners) attending classes throughout a week. Students come from all levels throughout the school, years 1-6 inclusive, and from a variety of different backgrounds. Students may come for two or three sessions each week to learn/further their skills in using English in speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students are enriched through a variety of approaches but one thing you can be sure of is that there is lots of talking. We strongly believe in celebrating cultural differences.
So what is an ELL?
The definition of an English Language Learner can be someone who was born overseas and English is their second language. He or she can also be a New Zealand born student but one or both of their parents were born overseas and English is mum and/or dads second language.
The Ministry of Education provides extra support for these students and I am delighted to be the provider of this service within our school.
