English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D)
With the vast language background other than English at Blaxcell Street PS, we have specialist EAL/D (English as an additional/Dialect) teachers working across K-6. As a qualified EAL/D team we will be providing a New Arrival Program (NAP) to newly arrived students from overseas to support them in acquiring the English language. In small groups, we work on developing their listening and speaking skills, reading and writing in English to help them become active participants in all aspects of school life.
We are also assigned to different grades to support all students in literacy and numeracy.

This year, Blaxcell Street PS is involved in Nationally Consistent Collection of Data. Information can be found in the link at the bottom of the page.
Students with additional learning needs will have access to support from a number of specialist Learning and Support Teachers. Students with evidence of additional needs will receive support as appropriate in the areas of reading, numeracy, socio-emotional needs and diagnosed disabilities. This support will be available through in-class, small group and one-to-one interventions. Learning Support Specialist Teachers are readily available to discuss these interventions further.
Please contact the school directly to arrange communication with them.
