Bilingual Centre

Malone Integrated College is an incredibly diverse community with more than 30 different nationalities and languages represented across the school.  All of our students are highly valued at Malone and we actively promote awareness, understanding and empathy between all.  We have staff dedicated to the area of EAL from both an academic and pastoral perspective.  Staff across the school are experienced in the area of EAL and use adaptive teaching approaches to meet the needs of all students.  Malone Integrated College is an inclusive and supportive community.

As a School of Sanctuary we have outstanding facilities including a Bilingual Centre open from 8am until 4pm.  Not only is this a place for students to meet at the start and end of the school day, but a calm and supportive environment for students to seek guidance or reassurance should they need it with a member of staff always on hand.  English is taught as an additional language within this facility to ensure that all students are equipped with the tools necessary to communicate effectively with others in both English and their first language and to support them in accessing the mainstream curriculum.  There is a multi-faith worship area in the Bilingual Centre accessible to members of the Malone Integrated College community.  We strive to promote knowledge and understanding across all cultures and backgrounds through a variety of activities and we are immensely proud of our students.
