English as an additional language

Learning English is essential for success at school and beyond. At Double Bay, a specialist teacher delivers English as an additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) education in a variety of ways to meet the diverse needs of EAL/D students at different stages of learning English. This includes intensive and post-intensive English language support for both newly arrived and continuing EAL/D students from Kindergarten to Year 6.

EAL/D lessons are provided through inclusive teaching practises, recognising students backgrounds and based on the stage programs.
