Communities Education Support Program
This after-hours program provides primary and secondary students with educational support for mathematics homework and Arabic language learning. Tutors from the MSC assist children aged 6-15 years in a class environment. The mathematics homework program is an opportunity for school students to obtain help with mathematics homework from community members after-hours.
The Arabic language classes helps students maintain communication with their parents, and aids contact with relatives overseas, such as their grandparents. In addition, the Program provides on-going support through the writing and reading of stories, and activities in music and art. The Program also provides families with information in their own language about the students' progress
