Koondoola School

The Intensive English Center for refugees where I'm volunteering has 160 kids who speak one of about 32 languages.  Australia provides 2 years of Intensive English School and then students must move in to regular school.  All teachers in the IEC school have at least an extra year of special training.  Most of the students are very hard workers and are very relieved to be out of their difficult countries.  About one third of the students are from the hills of Burma right now.  That changes depending on where the most difficult wars are.  There are many IEC schools in Australia.
