Dear Parents and Carers,
This term we will be celebrating 'Language Day' on Wednesday, 11th September (Week 8, Term 3). This event will focus on the diverse languages spoken by our students and their families, highlighting the cultural richness within our school. Over 90% of our students are from a language background other than English.
Please read the information below and let us know if you can help us.
Parents and carers please let us know if you can visit our classrooms on the day.

Parents or carers are invited to come to classes in the last hour of the afternoon to read a bilingual book, teach a few words or greetings, or share a simple song in another language with the students.
This will need to be arranged with the classes prior to the day. Please complete the form if you would like to be a part of this.
On Language Day, students will create a 'language map' to show what language(s) they speak, with whom, and where.
We can use the data collected from this activity for various maths activities in class, such as counting, making graphs and statistics.
On Language Day, each class will create a collaborative flower, with the class name in the centre and 'hello' or 'welcome' in different languages written on each petal.
These flowers will be displayed in the office foyer as a welcoming display.
