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.
At Petersham PS, we offer a range of co-curricular language programs. We have Italian classes on Monday afternoons (3:15 to 5:15pm) and Chinese classes on Thursday afternoons (3:30 to 5:30pm).
