LANGUAGES  

A Term of Culture, Connection and Real-World Learning

It has been an exciting term in Languages, with students taking their language learning beyond the classroom through engaging cultural experiences.

Japanese

Year 7 and 8 Japanese students recently celebrated the end of their semester of Japanese studies with a cultural excursion to Brunswick East. Students watched the beloved Japanese animated film My Neighbour Totoro at Cinema Nova before enjoying an authentic Japanese bento lunch at Matsumoto Japanese Restaurant. The excursion provided students with a valuable opportunity to experience Japanese language and culture beyond the classroom, and they returned to school with positive memories of the day.

Spanish

Year 7 and 8 Spanish students enjoyed a fantastic term of language and cultural learning beyond the classroom. They celebrated the completion of their Spanish studies with the Fiesta de Español incursion, featuring games, team challenges, Latin dance and traditional food.

Year 9 students attended the Spanish & Latin American Film Festival at Pentridge Palace Cinema before enjoying lunch at Takomama Mexican restaurant. These experiences strengthened students' language skills, cultural understanding and confidence in using Spanish in authentic contexts.
