#FutureLeaders
The #FutureLeaders category celebrates projects and organisations that give children and young people the opportunities to become leaders.
And the winner is... The Young Interpreters Scheme by Gardners Lane Primary School
It is currently made up of 15 enthusiastic bilingual Year Five and Six pupils. Having undergone the training program during their lunchtimes, the young interpreters use their language skills in a variety of ways to enable new arrivals at the school to access English and feel part of the school. With approximately 30% of the children and families having English as an additional language, their role is very important.
