Welcome to the 2016 school year !

We have an exciting start to our German program at Craigburn Primary, with the German classroom in a new location. See if you can spot all the fresh and colourful additions to the room when you come for your lesson!

This year the Year 3-7 students will attend German lessons during Terms 1 and 3 and the Reception-Year 2 students during Terms 2 and 4.

The question of why we should learn a language is often asked. There are many benefits to second language learning and I have attached a summary of how it can boost learning experiences of young children in our schools below. This information has been provided by the Victorian State Government and highlights the benefits language learning has for our young students.

If you would like more information, please visit http://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/principals/curriculum/Pages/languagepromotion.aspx.

I’m looking forward to hearing about the holiday stories from all of our students.

Auf Wiedersehen!
