ESOL - English for speakers of other languages
English Learner Programmes are taught at the appropriate levels - from beginner to advanced. The ESOL programme caters for both Domestic and International students. In addition to in-class support, our ESOL teachers also provide a withdrawal programme where small groups of children with similar abilities receive intensive language acquisition work. These programmes are run by one of our three qualified ESOL teachers. Programmes are often provided in both "first language" and also English. Our Teachers are highly qualified, experienced and caring.

Sister School Exchange
In 2012, we signed a Sister School Agreement with the Chulalongkorn University Demonstration Elementary School in Bangkok, Thailand. Each year, we welcome students from Bangkok and provide them with an emersion experience at our school. Staying with RPS families, our Thai guests get to experience "Kiwi" life first hand.
The teachers who accompany the Thai Exchange Programme are also afforded opportunities to engage with our teachers and observe first hand the richness of the New Zealand Curriculum.
