Developing students language and cultural understandings

The Italian program

The Italian program is taught by a specialist teacher and is supported throughout the curriculum by classroom teachers.

The Language program is organised into themes and topics, all organised to provide opportunities and activities for students to develop their language and cultural understanding.

The cultural theme is explored and celebrated throughout the school, with a pivotal Italian Day held once a year.
