Wow, what a day it was for Languages at Mount Lawley on Tuesday 18th May. Our whole school assembly was the forum for the Launch of the Asian and European Language Hubs. This is an initiative that will see our school form vital partnerships with our partner primary schools to build bridges between the primary and secondary sectors.
We look forward to working closely with, Coolbinia, Inglewood, Maylands, Kyilla, Yokine, Mount Hawthorn and West Leederville primary schools to provide a strong, continuous and seamless languages learning program that incorporates innovative high quality teaching and learning programs. This hub will combine the efforts of educators in both sectors, primary and secondary and embed a truly collaborative approach to public education with a differentiated curriculum as a key component of the new programs.
We trust that these new relationships will continue to grow stronger over time to provide reciprocal benefits to the primary and secondary schools connected through the hub. Representatives from the primary schools were invited to the launch to accept their certificates of partnership from our Principal. We were pleased to have special guests including Lois Joll from the Department of Education and Geoff Davis (AM) the founding teacher of Chinese in Western Australia share the moment with our whole school community.
A short video presentation of the LawleyItalia Tour was screened and we were delighted to have the Year 8 and 9 Chinese choir perform for us. Thanks to Ashleigh, Scarlet and Belinda who shared their experience of the Italy trip with us all. It was a proud day for Languages and we look forward to the building bridges program becoming stronger each year.
