Info
Cleveland Street Intensive English High School (abbreviated to CSIEHS) is an ESL High School located in the inner-Sydney suburb of Surry Hills, New South Wales, Australia and operated by the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities. The school provides intensive English language, settlement, orientation and welfare programs to secondary aged, newly arrived permanent, temporary resident and international students. Settlement support and partnership programs are provided for the school's culturally and linguistically diverse parent community. The school's student and parent community come from more than 30 language backgrounds other than English. Bilingual staff support student learning and parent programs. The school's motto "Harmony and Progress" reflects the proactively inclusive education and welfare programs designed to enhance student resilience and achievement.The school was founded in 1856, and was a general high school until 1977, when the school was moved to Alexandria and later renamed Alexandria Park Community School. It is one of the oldest public schools in Australia still operating on its site. The site on Cleveland Street was then reworked as an annex of the school for newly arrived immigrants into Australia, then into its current form as an intensive English-language high school in 2001.
