Hi
My daughter is 6 and she is learning Italian. I know that some other schools teach Japanese so I don't think there is a set language aught by schools

Here in W.A., it's standard in the primary grades. In high school, it's compulsory in
the first year. After that, you need to continue with it if you're going for a
Humanities degree in uni. What language depends on what school. Many teach French
(like at my kids' primary and secondary schools), but other languages are offered in
different schools. Some high schools might offer more than one language. That part of
the curriculum is called: LOTE - Languages Other Than English. Italian is pretty
common in Catholic private schools around Perth here. Other languages taught can be:
German, Indonesian, Japanese, Spanish, etc.
Good luck,
Helena

I'm in Brisbane-our local primary teaches German from year 4 Other languages that
seem popular: Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, French, Italian....... (memory lapse!)
Secondary schools can sometimes offer a choice of a couple, or, one school I know of
offers 'immersion teaching' in German - all classes, maths, science, etc are taught
in German!!!!
Restrictions on catchment areas don't seem to be as strict here as the UK, so it's
possible to check out a few schools in the area and choose a school for the language
they teach, if you have a particular one you like!
We have 3 primary schools within 5-10min drive from us, and none currently have a
catchment restriction. Was talking to a Mum at Judo last weekend, who is thinking
of moving her daughter to my son's school to learn German, as the family is of
Austrian origin.
