English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D)
Keira High School has qualified EAL/D (English as an Additional Language or Dialect) specialist teachers who provide targeted support for students from diverse language backgrounds.
This support includes:
- parallel EAL/D English classes
- Stage 6 EAL/D English classes
- an intensive academic literacy support elective
- assistance across all subject areas and year levels
Our EAL/D specialist teachers coordinate and lead these programs, working closely with bilingual School Learning Support Officers to ensure students feel supported both in and out of the classroom.
All teachers receive ongoing training to help them recognise and respond to the needs of EAL/D learners, as well as students from a language background other than English.
Keira High School is proudly multicultural, and we celebrate the rich diversity of our community.
