Languages

In NSW high schools, languages is a key learning area.

The study of language is compulsory for 100 hours in one continuous school year from Year 7 to Year 10.

The aim of Modern Languages is to empower students to become effective communicators in the target language by developing linguistic competence and intercultural awareness and capability.

The Languages Faculty promotes independent and student-centred learning through research, group work and the use of technology. Students also engage in culturally focused activities that are interesting, engaging and academic, allowing students to learn to interact, understand and create texts in a target language. Students also reflect on their own and others’ languages, cultures and identities.

A wide variety of languages are offered at Auburn Girls High School and students are also encouraged to learn languages through the Saturday School of Community Languages.
