Year 10 Italian Day Out Excursion

On Friday 19th of  July 2019, the Year 10 Italian students went on an excursion, organised by the Victorian Association Teachers of Italian, to the Catholic Leadership Centre, to learn more about why they should continue studying Italian during VCE. The students had to partake in a variety of rotating workshops such as a Kahoot of the Italian language and culture,  as well as music, film and drama activities. We worked in groups with many other schools and listened to many guest speakers talk to us about their experiences of learning Italian at high school and in university. We learnt that Italian took students and the teachers to many places and opened up many new opportunities for them. A highlight of the day was the drama performance in which everyone participated. We learned a new Italian game that enhanced our drama skills as well as enhanced our pronunciation in the Italian language. Going to this “Italian Day Out” was a real eye-opener for why we should continue to learn Italian and all the benefits it has and gave us an opportunity to meet other Year 10 students that were in the same position as us. We would like to thank our Italian teachers for allowing us to participate in this Italian excursion.
