Question 1

Can my child do English Extension instead of a language?

No, not unless they have been assessed at being at least 12 months behind the expected standard in literacy. English Extension is a bespoke program for students who require additional intervention and support in their English literacy. The transition team gathers literacy data from students’ primary schools, including school reports, On Demand, PAT, Naplan, and teacher interviews and combines it with our own assessments, which run at orientation day, and in the first weeks of the academic year. Parents of students who are identified by the team as potentially benefiting from this program will be contacted by the transition team. Parents who believe that their child may benefit from this program are encouraged to contact Amy Murphy to arrange a literacy assessment.
