Blair Athol North Primary School successfully connects refugee students with grannies — who all have a background in education — to help them learn how to read and write in English.
abc.net.au/news/grannies-help-refugee-adelaide-students-learn-english/102197492A group of women who proudly call themselves "grannies" are dedicating their retirement to teaching refugee children how to read and write in English.
"We came up with a concept after Zoom technology came into our lives that we could give the children and also our elderly, more vulnerable, members of the community a sense of purpose and get involved with teaching as well." "I saw a great benefit in the intergenerational relationships that can be developed that are mutually beneficial for young and old," he said.A conversation with his mother Gill Stevenson — a former teacher herself — made the idea a reality.
"We don't ask them about their experience unless they volunteer it because some of them have had terrible trauma in their lives, so we're mindful of that all the time," she said.
