Exploring the community: English Language Centre

Learning about the local community

On Thursday, 2nd Aug, our ELC students visited Preston market and the local library to explore and learn more about the local community and its culture. They are fascinated by the multicultural display and atmosphere in the market: the friendly people, the great variety of fresh foods, the delicious cuisines and the interesting household goods and much more! Our students wanted to learn about them all! They asked questions, interviewed shop owners, took notes and photos. Students also tried new foods and learnt about the origin of these foods from cafe owners. Students were thoroughly immersed in the local cultural exploring and learning and enjoyed themselves.

At the Preston library students learnt about the library’s history and the important role the library plays in the lives of local community. Students also learnt how to apply for a local library card and they plan to use their local library services in the future.

Welcome breakfast for new ELC students

The school held a Welcome Breakfast on Tuesday, 7th Aug, to welcome English Language Centre Students and to wish them well. The 11 ELC students and teachers enjoyed the nutritious breakfast and most importantly the inspiring conversations during the breakfast. Thank you to staff teaching the ELC group for making our new students feel at home.
