Ruth,
In my school, we have a Newcomer's Club. It is there for any student
who is new to the school, regardless of language. The new student is
paired with someone special, (usually a peer helper) in their own grade level,
who eats lunch with them, attends many of the same classes and generally
shows the new students 'the ropes. There is also a school-wide
newcomer's lunch at some point.
