The general aim of ESL education is to assist students from Language Backgrounds Other Than English (LBOTE). The major task of an ESL program is to identify the English skills necessary for effective functioning both in school and the wider context of society. Assisting students whose English is their second language will help them develop such skills to function successfully in society.

 ESL aims at developing student’s skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing in English and to ensure that these skills are linked to all other key learning areas (KLAs).

Georges Hall Public School has 74%  Language Background Other Than English (LBOTE) student population and 38% needing English as a Second Language (ESL) support.
