By encouraging Ss to ask open questions, you can nurture everyone's curiosity!

Fluency doesn’t always equal comprehension. You can help students grasp complex texts with a simple small-group activity called role reading. 📚 ⭐

The prep that goes into an excursion. Our S1 leader organised an excursion for today, and thoughtfully packed a survival kit (filled with a stack of sugary and salty treats) with a personalised message for each of the teachers on her stage. #relationshipsarekey

Fantastic to connect with 270+ outstanding language teachers & support staff at the Secondary College of Languages conference. Thanks to our @SCLanguages staff for supporting 2,700 students each week to learn 24 languages that fosters respect & understanding of other cultures.

Jam packed leadership agenda this afternoon. From embedding Aboriginal pedagogies in languages to taking advantage of AI in the languages classroom. Love what we do at @SCLanguages!
...what a show! Stage 1 learnt about countries around the world and put on a concert for our community. It was first time for all of our students and my team of teachers and they did really well. I am so proud of my students and my team. Well done. Love your work*
...we learnt about South Korea as part of our #Geography unit. In groups, students searched about their topic and created their own puzzle pieces. They were so proud. A student said "we did well" when saw the final product!*
