Currently, settlement workers can provide support in the following home languages: Arabic, Cantonese, Farsi, French, Hindi, Korean, Kurdish, Mandarin, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.

SWIS services are available in schools throughout the district. Enrolling in the SWIS program is highly recommended, as it enables the assigned settlement worker to contact the family and begin support once the student’s school registration is complete.

 Enroll with the SWIS Program.
