Indonesian ProgramTari_Kupu-Kupu_Dancers

Calwell Primary School has a dedicated Indonesian program run by our specialist Indonesian Teacher, Lyn Nichols.

The Indonesian program runs across the whole school, from kindergarten to year six. Students in Kindergaten and Year 1/2 recieve one 40min lesson per week. Students in grades 3 to 6 recieve two 40min lessons per week.

Each stage studies a different Indonesian topic each term. Topics are based around all aspects of Indonesian life from basic language skills such as colours and numbers, to conversations conducted in Indonesian.

Each Indonesian lesson is conducted in a dedicated classroom, which in itself offers a journey to Indonesia. Parents are encouraged to visit the room, and learn more about the program.
