At 无码流出AV, the study of a language is part of the core curriculum from Year 1 鈥� Year 8.
Proficiency in another language brings significant cultural and intellectual benefits as well as enabling young people to participate more effectively in the global 无码流出AV.

Our language program commences in the Junior School with the study of Spanish from Year 1 to Year 6. Upon entry to the Middle School in Year 7, students may select two languages, each for a semester of study. The languages on offer are: Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Kaurna (the Indigenous language of the Adelaide region) and Spanish. From Year 8, language programs are full-year courses and students are encouraged to continue their study of at least one or two language(s) other than English in Years 9 and 10 and beyond. Some Australian universities offer incentive schemes for students who satisfactorily complete Year 12 additional language studies (in either SACE or IB).
An additional language is a compulsory component of the鈥�IB Diploma Programme. Students can choose to continue one of the languages taught through the Middle School or start a new鈥�ab initio鈥�(beginner) course. The鈥�ab initio鈥痗ourses currently offered are Indonesian and Spanish.
Mandarin Chinese may be studied in the Middle Years at three different levels. The Second Language pathway is for those who are new to Chinese language. The Background Language pathway is for students who have exposure to Chinese language at home. And the First Language pathway is for those who have studied in schools where Chinese as a language of instruction. In Years 11 and 12 无码流出AV offers a Chinese literature course for First Language pathway students. (Chinese A: Language and Literature) This course is distinct from our language acquisition courses (IBD Chinese B at Higher Level or Standard Level and SACE Chinese at Background or Continuers levels).
Students entering the Middle School with substantial background in French language may join our French Bilingual Semi-immersion Program in Years 7-10. Participants will study History, Geography, Visual Art, Drama and French Language and Literature using French as the language of instruction.
In our programs, language and cultural studies are integrated and presented in contexts of everyday life. Emphasis is placed on comprehension and purposeful communication and topics are selected for their relevance to the experience of our students. Students have access to a variety of authentic communicative resources in their chosen language. They can also take part in a range of exciting student exchanges and language study tours.
With practice and continuity of study, students who complete Middle and Senior School courses develop a useful degree of fluency and achieve a level of competence which is attractive to employers and a very sound basis for further study and lifelong engagement with language and culture.
