At St. Peter’s, we recognise the importance of supporting our students with English Language Learning courses to complement their academic success. Each student has the option to choose from a range of comprehensive courses that are tailored to their specific needs. 

We ask that once a student has been accepted to St. Peter’s they complete an assessment, this allows us to gage their level of knowledge of the English language so we can provide the required support.

This could include:  
> English As An Additional Language (EAL) classes 
 
> Up to two terms of free one-to-one tutoring for students who are at a beginner level of English. Additional sessions may be requested following these sessions. The cost of these additional sessions will be discussed with parents at the start of the year. 
‍
> Free weekly small group sessions for students who are at an intermediate level of English. Each student has their English achievement monitored through annual testing to ensure they are continuing to progress as expected and that their individual needs are being met by our English Language Specialists. 

My teachers always have time open for me if I have any questions or anything I’m confused about. I’m happy to have learned knowledge from these enthusiastic people and enjoyed the two art subjects I have chosen: photography and painting. I learned a lot by processing my portfolio, and I always love to challenge myself. I love St. Peter’s Golf Centre the most, and I had the best coach ever. I will never forget any memories I spent with my friends and coach in golf at school.
