Languages Immersion Programs

The French and Japanese Immersion programs are based on the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach. With this approach students, learn a non-language subject in a different language. Being immersed in the language is the most effective way to learn a language because students must use the language immediately in real-life situations.

In the French immersion program, students learn Humanities and Drama in French while students enrolled in the Japanese program learn Science in Japanese. Although students learn in a different language, they learn the same content as students in a mainstream class. 

Both the French and the Japanese immersion programs are open to everyone. A high standard of English is of great benefit but motivation and preparedness for a challenge are the most important prerequisites. Due to a variety of levels of Japanese skills of students enrolled in the immersion program, more advanced students follow an accelerated curriculum and usually complete Years 7 to 10 curriculum in 3 years.

Our French Immersion Program is an accredited course recognised by the LabelFrancÉducation.
