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.
