ITALIAN

Through the study of the Italian language students are exposed to cultural diversity and gain a greater understanding of the contributions made by the Italian community in Australia. At Kolbe Italian Second Language is offered from years 7-12. Students can choose from ATAR Italian Second Language or Italian General in years 11 and 12. The College, also has direct links to Italy, with a long established exchange program, offered, in conjunction with, our sister school the Liceo Classico Properzio d’Assisi. Students have the opportunity to also engage in online exchange programmes, both with the sister school and also through the WAATI assistente programme. With the increasing number of Australians travelling to Europe and Europeans visiting Australia, many are recognising the usefulness of proficiency in another language.
