Bilingual Sustainability Studies

Students wishing to continue learning bilingually are given the opportunity in Year 9 through Sustainability Studies. This is a practical based subject where students develop their German language skills, as well as their knowledge and understanding of Biology, Economics and Sustainability. Students will take part in gardening, and learn about sustainable practices and projects.

They communicate and document their projects, including marketing for a range of audiences in the target language of German. As a cross-curriculum subject, students consider the economic, environmental and social impacts of environmental change and how the choice and use of technologies may contribute to a sustainable future. Students also take into account the ethical and functional factors that inform the processes.
