Baler Primary School hosts Language and Belonging Expo to support multilingual families
In a vibrant celebration of culture, connection and community, Baler Primary School recently opened its doors for a Language and Belonging Expo, welcoming families and local organisations to support students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D). Responding to a rise in EAL/D student enrolments, the school launched the expo as a way to foster belonging and linguistic growth for children navigating the path toward fluency in Standard Australian English. For many, this journey runs alongside maintaining their home language and cultural identity, something the event sought to support. The school grounds were abuzz with activity on May 27, as local businesses and service providers set up interactive stalls, offering families information about childhood programs, parenting resources and extracurricular activities. Many families signed up for after-school and weekend programs to give their children real-world opportunities to practice speaking English in engaging, supportive environments. 'I had some lovely conversations with a few parents who were eager to talk about their cultural backgrounds and the languages their children speak at home,' Pilbara Community Legal Service team leader Victoria Malyk said. 'It was clear they take great pride in this, and those moments of connection were truly meaningful.'

Passenger dies after getting stuck between carriages
An inner-city passenger has died after attempting to walk between two light-rail carriages, authorities say. The man in his 40s died at the scene after crossing tram lines, before getting lodged under a tram departing a stop at Surry Hills in Sydney on Thursday afternoon. An investigation has begun but police are not treating the death as suspicious. "We've spoken to a number of witnesses, and that initial CCTV review at this stage (shows) he was waiting on the platform and then stepped off to try and cross the tramway between the carriages," NSW Police Inspector Anderson Lessing said. "That'll form our report to the coroner ... it appears to be a set of tragic circumstances on the platform." A police rescue operation lifted the tram carriage to free the man, Transport for NSW coordinator-general Howard Collins said. "Emergency services have provided medical care, but unfortunately, that male was pronounced deceased at this stage." The death comes after a teenage girl died after getting trapped under a tram in Sydney's CBD in 2023. Clear signage is at the station to stop people from walking on tram lines, Mr Collins said. "It is important to understand that there are warning signs, both in English and also a pictorial sign, clearly advising people," he said. "The operator will work with the regulator to ensure that if there are any recommendations, we'll act upon this." Passengers on board at the time and rail staff are being offered support services, Mr Collins added. Light rail services are running as normal after halting for a number of hours.
