In our interconnected and interdependent world, learning a language opens up a wealth of personal, social, cultural, and employment opportunities. By acquiring communication skills in either French or Japanese, you'll not only be able to engage with others but also develop a deep understanding and appreciation for the interconnectedness of language, culture, and learning.
In Middle School (Year 7 & 8) you will begin your language learning journey in either Japanese or French.
If you've enjoyed your language studies during Middle School, we highly recommend continuing with a language in Year 9 and 10, and both French and Japanese are offered at a VCE Level.
Catholic College Wodonga has well-established relationships with sister schools, Matsudo International High School in Japan and Lycée Saint-Michel in Château-Gontier, France. These connections give us the ability to offer incredible firsthand experiences of language and culture, including the opportunity to participate in immersion trips that occur (normally every two years) for students continuing to study a language into Years 10-12.
