    Hi Phumulo,

    Whilst we don’t have the exact figure at hand, we’d suggest first accessing ABS data, and then exploring the Queensland Education departments website also for the relevant information.

    Many people living on the Cape York Peninsula are speaking English as their second, third and even fourth language. For many speakers of additional languages, their spoken comprehension may be better than their written; you may like to consider other forms of communication, depending on your design solution.

    EWB Australia acknowledges the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to them, their cultures and their land; to Elders both past and present; and to emerging leaders. We recognise that the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people never ceded sovereignty of what we call Australia.
