Cultural Studies
​At St. Aloysius the children in all grades Foundation to Year 6, experience a cultural language program on a weekly basis.  The curriculum includes a language awareness program focusing on an appreciation of culture and languages.
 
The ability to use a language other than English and move between cultures is essential for full participation in the modern world.  This is especially so given an increasingly global society and Australia’s cultural diversity. Children work in a dedicated Italian classroom for their lessons each week.
 
In the development of intellectual and social skills, our Language program offers children the opportunity to:
  • use language to communicate with others;
  • understand how the language operates as a system and, through comparison, how other languages, including English, are structured and function;
  • gain direct insights into the culture which gives the language its life and meaning;
  • consider their own culture, and compare it with the cultures of countries and communities where the language is spoken;
  • understand that cultures are quite often different, but that they all have values;
  • add to their general knowledge;
  • enhance their vocational prospects.
