Language studies focus on developing language proficiency and promote intercultural understanding. Studying a language better equips students to engage with others and participate fully in an increasingly globalised world.
Learning a language provides opportunities for students to:
- gain access to other peoples, ideas and ways of thinking
- become interested in and respectful of other cultures
- develop social and cognitive skills that will help them in other areas of the curriculum
- improve future employment and economic opportunities.
At Avoca, the language studied in Year 5 and Year 6 is German.
