Buon pomeriggio tutti! Bonjour à toutes et à tous! Mina san, Konnichi wa!
The Languages Learning Area staff welcome all language students back to school for an exciting year of language learning. We especially welcome the Year 7 students who have begun learning a new language, one of French, Italian, or Japanese. In Semester Two the Year 7 students will also have the opportunity to try a second language. We wish the Year 7 students, our returning language students from Years 8 to 12, as well as the students who do a language outside of school, such as Chinese, Greek or Vietnamese, the best of luck on their language learning journey in 2026.
Elsewhere in Languages, from Thursday 9 April to Sunday 26 April, 18 students and 3 staff will participate in the Japan Study Tour. Excitement is building amongst the group as the tour approaches and the group meets weekly to prepare for their departure. We are also looking forward to strengthening our ties with our Japanese Sister School, Seirei Gakuen High School in Akita City when the group spends eight days visiting there.
Also, in late June there is a tour to France where a group of students and staff will travel through France and attend language classes in Lyon.
More information about these tours and other events will appear in future newsletters.
Bocca Al Lupo! Bonne Chance! Ganbatte!
