Head Teacher Intensive English Centre - Evans High School
The Evans Intensive English Centre (IEC), based in Blacktown, provides an intensive English language program for newly arrived students learning English as an additional language or dialect.
As the largest IEC in NSW, Evans attracts a large cohort of students primarily from a refugee background.
The highly experienced staff support students to develop their English language skills, become familiar with the Australian school system and build the confidence needed to succeed in mainstream schooling through an integrated social model with Evans High School.
Students typically attend for 6-12 months, depending on individual needs, before they transition into mainstream classes at their local school or other destinations.
They come from a range of cultural and language backgrounds and are supported by staff working closely with families and schools to ensure a smooth transition into mainstream education.
