New arrivals kit

The Languages and Multicultural Education Resources Centre (LMERC) can provide a kit of tailored English as an Additional Language (EAL) and bilingual resources to support teachers and students at primary and secondary level. The kits are available for loan for 1-2 terms. If a school has multiple new arrivals at one time or over the year multiple kits can be requested.
