Languages

In NSW primary schools, the study of a language is optional.

Language study allows students to develop communication skills, learn about languages as systems and explore the relationship between language and culture. Students engage with the linguistic and cultural diversity of societies and reflect on their understanding of social interactions.

An Aboriginal Language teacher is employed 6 hours a week to teach language to each class once a week for two terms. Students learn how to speak a variety of Dunghutti words and sing songs in Dunghutti.
