Welcome to Term 2
Welcome back existing students and families! Welcome new students and
families. We hope your stay at our school is a very happy and successful one.
Cultural & Community Events
At Cleveland Street Intensive English High
School we have a code of values and beliefs. We value our cultural
diversity. As a culturally diverse
school we have students, families and staff from many different cultural
backgrounds who speak many different languages. We live and work together in
peace and harmony.
We believe that it is very important that
we value and recognise important cultural, religious and community events. A
calendar of such events is drawn up each term. All staff, students and their
families are invited to contribute to it.
Greeting of the Week
Each week we have a new
greeting in one of the languages of our school community. Students and staff
model the greeting on assembly. Assembly is held on Thursday mornings from
10.52am to 11.17am. An item about the particular language or culture or a piece
of music or dancing can also occur. Staff use the Greeting of the Week
with their classes and encourage students to use it with each other. It is one
way of helping to encourage intercultural harmony within the school and within
the community.
