If your English tests indicate you are having difficulties understanding English you will be required to take this course (9ESL) or you may be placed in the foundation class (9ESF) for more intensive English study.
This course is designed for students from a non-English speaking background. You will build on your English language learning for school subjects, community use and for communication with your classmates.
