Melbourne Zoo - Year Eight

Language studies not only provide students with the skills to speak, write and read a foreign language, but also give an insight into the history, lifestyle and culture of societies where the language is used

At CCW, students from Prep to Year Five experience lessons in both Indonesian and German. At Year Six, students are invited to focus on one subject Those who join the College in Year Seven complete a semester of each language before continuing with their chosen language in Year Eight. Students who have studied German or Indonesian in Years Seven and Eight may continue their study of a second language throughout their senior years of schooling and elect to study the language at VCE in Years Eleven and Twelve.

Year Eight Indonesian students embraced the opportunity to visit the Melbourne Zoo to learn about Indonesian animals and participate in a scavenger hunt. At lunchtime, an Indonesian chef prepared a variety of traditional dishes for our students, who relished the opportunity to experience unique flavours alongside friends

"It was a very exciting day because we got to see all the Indonesian animals and learn all about them. We got to try new food that was cooked by an Indonesian chef The foods we could try included, beef rendang, ayam goreng, stir-fry vegetables and vegetarian stir fry I chose the beef rendang. My favourite part was when we got to explore parts of the zoo with our friends".
