EAL (English as an Additional Langauge)
The English as an Additional Language (EAL) program at our school offers students the opportunity to enhance their language proficiency in a supportive and focused setting. With classes held between three and four times a week, students engage in targeted language development exercises tailored to their individual needs. The small class sizes ensure personalized attention, allowing students to receive constructive feedback and build confidence in their English language skills. This elective not only fosters linguistic growth but also promotes cultural understanding, preparing students for effective communication in diverse settings.
MYLNS (Middle Years Literacy and Numeracy Support)
The MYLNS initiative provides intensive teaching support to students in Year 7 and 10 to ensure they have the necessary literacy skills they need to engage with their classroom learning.
Interventions at Year 7 and 10 ensure students have the foundational literacy skills necessary for them to be able to successfully complete senior secondary education and to achieve their goals related to future work, education or training.
MYLNS plays an important role in the school’s teaching and learning program, offering a support pathway for students who require additional intervention.
Language Support
Our Language Support program includes speech pathologists who assess, diagnose and treat difficulties in listening, speaking, understanding, reading, writing, voice, fluency and the social use of language, as well as communication difficulties associated with hearing loss, or developmental disabilities, such as Intellectual Disability.
At Roxburgh College speech pathologists work as part of the educational team to improve academic, communication, swallow safety and social outcomes for students with communication and mealtime support needs. Most of their work focuses on classroom based therapy, staff development, development of resources and advice on curriculum development or assessment adjustments.
Speech pathologists also provide recommendations for further assessment and referrals to other professionals, such as psychologists and paediatricians. Speech pathologists in schools are only permitted to work with students when written consent is obtained from the student’s parent or carer.
