Hamilton high school gets title of 1st 'language friendly' secondary in North America
Share
Joanna Duong has only been in Canada for a year and a half, but says
from the moment she walked into Glendale Secondary School in east
Hamilton, she felt at home.
"One thing I really remember about
the first day at Glendale is the language sign in front of our ESL
[English as a Second Language] classroom," said Duong, now 18 and a
Grade 12 student.
Duong remembers the sign reading "welcome" in
Russian and Vietnamese, of which she speaks both having come from Russia
and having Vietnamese parents.
