What Languages do they teach at school?
What languages do they get taught at school at is there a variation from school to school? Do they get to pick what languages they want to do?
Also can anyone answer my son's birthday is 24th January, I see term time begins in Febuary. How old will he be when he goes to year 1 at school? |

Re: What Languages do they teach at school?
Depends on the school and state/territory..
Korean, japanese, Indonesian, Mandarin, French, german, italian, even some indigenous languages in some places .. Some primary schools only offer one langauge .. so you get what you're given ... highschools may offer a few and the language depends on what teachers they can get at the school.. In canberra there is even a french language government school in Canberra.. which is rather unique in Australia. |

When he starts year 1 in February he will have just turned 7. Everyone in his year will either be 7 already or turn 7 before June 30 of that year. As for languages it varies from school to school. Ours teaches Japanese. Previous school taught German. Language teaching in our school starts in year 3.

If you intend to stay in this country then learning French is a little useless. In the 7 years I have lived here I can count on one hand how many times I have had the opportunity to speak it. Japanese and the Chinese languages will likely serve your children better in the future

I thought he would have just turned 6 because his 6th birthday is before 30 June for grade one. So kids in grade one are either turning six in the first half of the year or seven in the second half of the year.

My daughter is in Year 1 and she turned 7 last July 6th. Quite a few kids are 7 already with the remainder turning 7 before the end of June.

Based on my two teenage sons, Strine seems to be about the only language taught in school.

Yep, July 6 would make her 7 in grade 1. The concrete rules are that they must turn 6 before 30 June - the kids that turned 7 before end of June must be for some other reason - they're not so strict on the rules if the kids are older than they should be, just younger.
