Culture and languages

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 Berinba Public School, our students celebrate and learn about a range of different cultures, allowing them to explore and celebrate the rich diversity of the world around them.

Cultural students is embdeed through all our learning and wellbeing programs.

Through the study of different cultures, traditions, languages, and customs, students gain a deeper appreciation for the global community and their place within it.

Our programs encourage students to:

  • Discover global diversity by exploring various cultures, both locally and around the world.

  • Understand traditions and customs that shape communities, fostering respect for differences and shared experiences.

  • Learn about world history, art, music, and cuisine to enrich their cultural knowledge and creativity.

  • Engage with global issues, developing empathy and a sense of responsibility toward creating a harmonious and inclusive world.

Through hands-on activities, storytelling, and research projects, students gain a broader perspective on the world, learning to value diversity and contribute positively to society.

Learning about diverse cultures helps to build strong, open-minded individuals who appreciate the beauty of cultural differences and understand the importance of respect, kindness, and cooperation.
