It is now recognised that 87% of CBHS Lewisham
students have a Language Background Other
Than English (LBOTE) and that in most cases
the parents of our students are unable to assist
with their education. Therefore, any Literacy
program would need to be accessible to all of
these students as well as other students with low
literacy.

The Comprehension Program
• Moodle is used as a teaching tool by English
teachers to help students improve their
comprehension skills.
• Previous ELLA and NAPLAN articles are able to
be viewed on computers, multiple choice
questions are asked based on these articles
• Moodle allows the order of the questions and
answers to be varied from student to student –
copying is not possible
.
Reasons for Improvements
• Raising the profile of literacy across the school
– the Principal giving Literacy awards at a Year meeting

It is now recognised that 87% of CBHS Lewisham
students have a Language Background Other
Than English (LBOTE) and that in most cases
the parents of our students are unable to assist
with their education. Therefore, any Literacy
program would need to be accessible to all of
these students as well as other students with low
literacy.
LEWISHAM NEEDS A LITERACY
