Languages (Indonesian) with Ibu Sarah
​
Students from Year 3-6 study Indonesian for 60 minutes per week.
The focus for learning is on understanding and communicating in Indonesian and exposure to the culture and geography of one of our closest neighbours.
​
Lessons use a variety of games, songs, online resources, art and written work to enhance student engagement and enjoyment.
Our classroom is a safe place for all to participate and practice what we have learnt.
​
You can support your child at home by downloading the Languages Online app for Indonesian; the DuoLingo app is also great for older students and their parents.
