School Profile Purpose

Collingwood English Language School (CELS) is a major provider of the New Arrivals Program in the North Western Victoria Region. It is a combined primary and secondary school, which provides full time, intensive English courses for newly-arrived migrants and refugees prior to their enrolment in a mainstream school or further education. The main aim of the school’s program is to provide a cooperative and supportive learning and working environment to enable students to develop the language and skills they require to move successfully into mainstream schooling and to participate within the community. A secondary aim is to introduce students to Australian society and culture.

Values Our school community:

values a positive, harmonious, respectful, safe and engaging learning and working environment promotes respect for diversity and values the richness of cultures promotes the development of self-confidence develops active, critical and responsible learners encourages the full potential of students and staff promotes good communication, cooperation and decision making cares for the environment

Environmental Context Collingwood English Language School has two campuses, one in Collingwood established as a school in 1989

(previously two language centres, Victoria Park and Collingwood) the other at Broadmeadows which was established in 2013. The Collingwood Campus is centrally located in Cambridge Street, Collingwood approximately one kilometre north east of the city centre; the Broadmeadows Campus is in Johnstone St Broadmeadows, and is part of the Dimboola Hub, sharing the oval with Broadmeadows Valley Primary School and Hume Central (Dimboola Rd Campus).

Each campus is well serviced by public transport, catering for new arrivals in the inner city area and from the Northern and Eastern suburbs at the Collingwood Campus, and new arrivals from the Northern suburbs at the Broadmeadows campus. The school's target enrolment at the Collingwood campus is 91 secondary students and 39 primary students, and 26 secondary and 39 primary children at the Broadmeadows campus.

Page 4: School Strategic Plan for Collingwood English Language School 2015 … · 2015-04-30 · 4. Utilise Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) for school-based data monitoring and student tracking

CELS provides off campus [“Outpost”] programs in primary schools with high numbers of new arrivals as the need arises. Changes in settlement patterns affect the provision and content of these programs. Outposting is provided in a single school or for a cluster of schools. Currently there are two Outpost programs operating at Preston North East and Thomastown Primary Schools with 26 students in each program.

An extension of the Outpost program, a visiting teacher program, is provided to isolated primary age new arrivals in the northern region program to increase the access for newly-arrived primary students who are unable to attend an Outpost or base program. Further support is provided by an Outreach worker who is based in the school and provides support to newly arrived students and their teachers in the North Western Victorian Region.

The period of enrolment for students varies from 6-12 months depending on individual student needs and pressures from student waiting lists. Students enrol at any time there are vacancies and exit at the end of a term. Enrolments may vary from term to term and to a large extent reflect fluctuations in the number of new arrivals and their settlement patterns in Melbourne.

Most students are permanent residents, although the school can take some enrolments from students holding temporary visas. The school has been accredited as a provider for overseas fee paying students. The student demographic is continually changing with variations in the geographical, cultural and prior schooling background of students. Students come from all over the world with over 30 countries represented during the last three years. The highest proportion of students in the past 10 years has been from Mainland China followed by Vietnam. However with the establishment of the Broadmeadows campus and changing immigration patterns in recent years there have also been significant numbers of students from Iraq, Iran, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Africa. The school caters for the needs of the increasing numbers of refugee children whose schooling has been interrupted, or, in some cases who have never been to school, who have been in refugee camps and detention centres prior to their enrolment and who present with high levels of trauma and significant welfare needs, has provided staff with additional challenges.

Data interpretation from student and parent surveys for accountability purposes may be problematic due to the short stay of newly arrived students and parents/guardians. Also unlike mainstream settings where students may stay in the school for 7 years, the cohort of students changes significantly each term impacting on data interpretation. Similarly 20% of teaching staff are off site 4 days per week, impacting on Staff Survey interpretation.

Service Standards CELS has a holistic approach to student learning and development and is committed to building on what students

know, taking account of different learning styles and rates of learning. The school promotes a safe, stimulating and harmonious learning environment to encourage all students to achieve their full potential. Regular feedback is provided to students, and students are actively involved in reflecting on their learning. Individual needs are provided for through quality planning. Each term students are provided with a Student Information session which provides an induction program with interpreters where needed. This is always followed up by a planned Emergency Evacuation drill. The syllabus is regularly evaluated, with professional learning highly valued. The Annual Implementation Plan has a strong professional learning focus based around the goals and Key Improvement Strategies of the School Strategic Plan. The school fosters close links with parents and guardians and the broader school community creating a welcoming, vibrant and stimulating learning environment. The School Council is strongly committed to the school’s students and families and is comprised of community members and nominees from agencies that support new arrivals in Australia. The School actively supports newly arrived students and their families in the settlement process with a number of Multicultural Education Aides employed and interpreters/translations utilised where possible. Student welfare and transition support is integral to the program, and there are opportunities each term for parents and guardians to learn more about the CELS program and schooling in Australia through parent information sessions, the school newsletter and handbook. Parent Teacher reporting afternoons and informal meetings. Positive parenting is fostered and parents/guardian are actively involved in supporting the school in promoting respectful student behaviour.
