An exciting start for the Languages Department! Our Year 8 students have embraced their Italian and Spanish language learning with much enthusiasm and excitement. Our ‘Introduction to Languages’ unit has provided students with an insight into the relationship between culture and language. Students had the opportunity to travel virtually to a region of Spain or Italy of their choice and create a virtual postcard to send to a friend.

Our Year 12 Spanish class is hard at work improving upon their conversational skills for their upcoming assessment task. Over the holidays they continued to work on their Spanish by challenging themselves to read novels by well-known Spanish authors such as Isabel Allende. Students have acknowledged that this has improved their comprehension and enriched their vocabulary which they are now able to incorporate into their coursework.
