The host school for the Shepparton English Language Centre (SELC) since 2008 to the current time is St Georges Road Primary School in the south of Shepparton. The School Principal has the overall responsibility of the school, including the Shepparton English Language Centre, which will operate as a sub-school of the host school.
The Shepparton English Language Centre is located in the northwest corner of the St Georges Road Primary School site in a discrete building formerly used by the Shepparton Schools¿ Support Centre (corner of Hayes and Weddell Streets) and two relocatable buildings. The complex of buildings is Campus 2 of St Georges Road Primary School.
2. Shepparton English Language Centre
The Shepparton English Language Centre (SELC) is responsible for providing EAL (English as an Additional Language) Intensive English Tuition to New Arrivals students in primary and secondary government schools in the Shepparton Schools District.
In addition to Intensive English Tuition, students are taught some specialist subjects such as Mathematics, Physical Education, Art, Music, Science and/or Aussie Skills.
The overall target number for SELC is 65 students each year. Historically the number of students fluctuates with the lowest enrolment in any one year being 52 and the highest, 172 students.
New Arrival Primary and Secondary students from the Shepparton network of schools will attend the Centre full time for a period of 6 - 12 months depending on their visa and ability.
The Shepparton English Language Centre also provides an EAL Cluster Program to provide support to local EAL students who have been in Australia between one and five years in outlying schools who do not have sufficient numbers of students to be able to employ their own staff. The objective of the EAL Cluster Program is to provide curriculum, planning, reporting and assessment advice and guidance to teachers of EAL students, to improve the understanding and knowledge of EAL student learning needs by the school community, including leadership, classroom teachers and other staff.
St Georges Road PS as the host school will employ staff on a contract basis, with the possibility of secondment and right of return provisions for ongoing staff in government schools.
