In NSW primary schools, the study of a language is optional.
Language study allows students to develop communication skills, learn about languages as systems and explore the relationship between language and culture. Students engage with the linguistic and cultural diversity of societies and reflect on their understanding of social interactions.
Italian is available to students from Preschool to Year 6.
Mandarin is now available to students in Kindergarten to Year 2 as an alternative to Italian.
