Language other than English – LOTE Program for 2015
We are mandated to introduce a Languages program to our school, starting at Foundation Level, in 2015. Currently we have a pilot Japanese program operating in Foundation Red. This program is being taken by one of our parents, Junko Nicholls, and may be extended to Foundation S and K later in the year. Junko is up to date with Victorian Language Teaching Standards and, along with Anna, is really interested in making a language come alive within our community. It has been decided that Japanese will be our LOTE for 2015 in Foundation and later expanded to older levels.
