We use a whole language approach to teaching English, supported by specific teaching strategies that enhance reading, writing and speaking and listening. Language skills are also taught as part of every other subject. We have excellent resources in this area and they are always being improved.
Parental involvement enhances our reading program.
Our school offers language studies in Indonesian. Cultural programs in dance, visual arts and Asian Studies support the language program. At Eaglehawk North, every child visits the Library at least once a week, an activity which enables them to use a wide variety of skills, including reading, comprehension, discussion and research. The computerised circulation system aids students and staff in locating resources appropriate to their needs. The library is open each lunchtime to provide a quiet environment for children to read and research.
