Notre Dame High School and the City of Ottawa offer a wide variety of programs for new ESL students and immigrant families. The ESL program at school helps students learn English, and make friends from other cultures. This helps these students adapt to our school. Secondly, the school organizes field trips for the ESL classes, so they can get to know the city. Our school also has multicultural teachers that speak different languages. Notre Dame High School hosts dinners for new ESL families so teachers and administrators have an opportunity to get to know each family. By getting to know these families they are able to help them out and make them feel welcome. On the other hand, the City of Ottawa also helps immigrant families. For example, they have brochures about the city and offer schools in different languages. They also help new immigrant families find jobs and schools that are suitable for their kids. In my neighbourhood, we have schools for newcomers to learn English. The employees at our community centre are multicultural. We also have schools that teach Arabic and Spanish in my community. The City of Ottawa and Notre Dame High School help to make new immigrant families feel welcome and comfortable in their new country.
