Learning a foreign language is an enriching experience that helps students develop cultural awareness and sensitivity, preparing them to be global citizens of the future. As Australia embraces an increasingly connected world, the demand for language skills is growing—opening opportunities for those who can understand and operate in languages beyond their own.
At Brisbane Bayside State College, we strengthen language learning by building real-life connections with the community, enhancing both language skills and overall student wellbeing. Our language classes foster bonds and camaraderie through engaging activities such as cooking, art, cultural projects, and the possibility of language and cultural trips. The friendships formed in language classes often last a lifetime.
Learning a language also boosts students’ self-esteem and confidence, while nurturing cultural understanding. Students develop teamwork skills in small classroom settings and gain the confidence to independently apply their language and communication abilities.
