Languages Other Than English (LOTE)
Learning a language will significantly expand students' horizons about the personal, social, cultural and employment opportunities that our increasingly interconnected and globalised world will make available to them in the near future. Students will also acquire communication skills that will enable them to interact in French or Spanish and develop a deep understanding and appreciation of the relationship between language, culture and learning.
The study of a language will lead students to lifelong personal, educational, vocational and career benefits.
