Support for Non-Chinese Speaking (NCS) Students

Support for non-Chinese speaking (NCS) families

Delia English Primary School & Kindergarten has a long-standing commitment to welcoming and supporting children and families from diverse ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds. We welcome applications from NCS families and are committed to providing a caring, inclusive and supportive learning environment where every child can learn actively, participate fully and grow with confidence.

We hold dedicated admission interview sessions for NCS applicants every year. Our staff have experience in supporting families from different language backgrounds. Interpretation support can be arranged, where necessary, during school visits, admission interviews and follow-up enquiries. Families are also welcome to be accompanied by a relative or friend who can communicate in English or Chinese.

For further information or assistance with the application process, please contact our General Office. We will be pleased to assist you.
