Languages

All children from Kindergarten to Year 6 participate in our LOTE program through the study of the Italian language and culture. Italian is taught by a specialist teacher.

We celebrate the Italian culture and its contribution to the world by putting aside a week each year in which we participate in a wide range of activities including a special Italian lunch from the tuckshop.
