2nd G11 HLP-ers Service, 2021-2022
by Ally Volkening, Part Time Admin Assistant 2021
On 1st September 2021, a G11 HLP-ers Orientation briefing was held for our 2nd batch of G11 HLP-ers. The orientation briefing was conducted by our Head of Multilingualism, Pilar Jiménez, with the help of our past Intern, Isabel Crippa and G11 HLP-er 2020-2021, Uma Kewlani.
Our new HLP-ers were warmly welcomed and introduced to what this service is. The department reviewed COVID-19 protocols and safety regulations with our G11 HLP-ers.
Isabel and Uma shared valuable advice for managing the students and keeping them engaged while also sharing memorable experiences they went through last year while doing this service. They projected enthusiasm and encouragement towards the new G11 HLP-ers to look forward to a new and exciting service working with students.
Lastly, our new G11 HLP-ers were then placed into 2 groups that consisted of classes they were assigned to, which has various classroom locations and pick up / drop off points for our Home Languages students.
