Languages at Carlingford High School
In NSW high schools, Languages is a key learning area.
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.
At Carlingford High School, all Year 7 students study French and Japanese. In Year 8, students focus on one of these languages for the entire year.
Students may choose to continue their language studies in Stage 5. In Stage 6, a range of courses is available in Japanese, French, and Chinese.
Additional language courses not offered at Carlingford High School may also be studied through the NSW School of Languages and Secondary College of Languages.
The Languages faculty at Carlingford High School also offers a variety of lunchtime clubs open to all students, including the French Film Club and Anime Club.
