ESL Regional Project Officers

Each of the nine regions now employs an ESL Regional Program Officer (RPO). Their main roles are to: 

• Support schools in their region to develop and implement effective ESL programs, particularly for students making a transition from English language schools/centres and those with disrupted schooling or no schooling.
• Assist schools in evaluating ESL programs, provide advice for improving ESL learner outcomes and targeting ESL student support e.g. assessing and reporting against VELS; Literacy and ESL in school improvement.

For more information about regional professional learning opportunities organised in each region please contact your ESL RPO.
