Kia ora koutou, bula, nǐ hǎo, goeie dag, kon'nichiwa, hola. Here at Rolleston College, our English language teaching staff assist students of non-English speaking backgrounds, assisting with learning the English language, vocabulary development and an understanding of grammatical rules.
Our ESOL programme runs throughout year 9 to year 13. The classes are taught in small groups to help with overall academic success. ESOL students in the junior school receive four periods of English language learning per week.
ESOL students in the senior school can receive 3-4 periods of English language learning. During this time they are developing their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills to ensure they achieve academic success in their mainstream classes.
Through our ESOL programme, all senior students have the opportunity to attain 15 Level 1, 15 Level 2 and 15 Level 3 NCEA credits. Our ESOL programme also prepares our students for the NCEA Literacy examination.
