Winnipeg School Division Newcomer Services
Winnipeg School Division not only recognizes the challenges our newcomer students and families may experience in attending school in a new country, but also the challenges our staff may experience in meeting the needs of our newcomer population. Over the past 30 years, our division has provided additional supports to assist students with integration and families with settlement.
Our Newcomer Service team consists of a Newcomer Service Coordinator, Intercultural Support Workers, and an EAL Consultant who proactively and collaboratively foster partnerships with government and community stakeholders, settlement sector organizations and schools to ensure student academic success.
