Why use interpreters?
Interpreters can enhance communication between school staff and school community members.
Schools have a responsibility to use interpreters as indicated by the ESL/ESD Progress Map 2009, Curriculum Framework
1998, the Anti-Racism Policy 1998 and the State Government Language Services Policy.
Interpreters can assist in the collection of relevant student background information from parents/caregivers so that school
communities can provide appropriate educational programs.
