Chisholm is a recognised and awarded Centre for Excellence in Languages. Currently the College offers three Language courses: Italian, French and Mandarin (Chinese). All students select a Language for their first three years at the College. Our courses cover reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. Print and digital resources are used, while online learning platforms as well as hands-on activities combine to provide engaging and effective learning experiences.
Students may wish to continue with a specialist language in Senior School. Senior language students may also elect to join the language study tours and interaction with sister schools in Italy, France and China.
All Language courses conform to the WA Curriculum and SCSA curricula. Students in these courses are able to enjoy cultural understanding, acquire communication skills and develop as Australian and global citizens.
