One of our families visiting SD4 Pelaga in 2018
Indonesian
All students from Year 3 in Government schools should have access to a language. Waggrakine students in Year 3-6 have one hour of Indonesian each week. At Waggrakine we believe Indonesian is a great language for our students to learn, with Indonesia being our largest neighbour, a large trading partner and a popular tourist destination for our community.
Indonesian Language Assistant
We are fortunate to have an Indonesian Language Assistant will be here for the school year and will assist Ibu Katie in implementing the Indonesian classes. They run a fun and hands on curriculum where students learn Bahasa Indonesian through a variety of activities. The program focuses on language and cultural learning with a key focus on speaking and listening in the early year levels.
Each year the language assistants program allows a citizen of the target country to work alongside language teachers to share their knowledge and culture to enrich classroom and community programs.
Language assistants bring with them a deep understanding of their country and help to make the lessons, hands on and practical, engaging the children through language, daily life and experiences of young people.
The main focus of the work is to support the language teachers in helping students improve their language communication skills. Language assistants are employed as education assistants and work under the supervision of the language teacher
