Learning languages in addition to English extends students’ literacy and their capacity to communicate. It strengthens their understanding of the nature of language, culture and communication. All language study will develop students’ intercultural competency and develop new ways of seeing and being in the world.

Students learn to communicate and interact to access and exchange information, to express feelings and opinions, to participate in imaginative and creative experiences. They work with a range of texts designed for language learning, online resources and authentic texts. Students also develop a deep understanding of how language works.

All Year 7 students will participate in the Languages Breakfast.

LANGUAGES AT FIRBANK

FRENCH

Bonjour! Why learn French? French is spoken in many countries around the world and used in many international organisations. Australia and the French-speaking world have significant shared history and strong contemporary connections. Learning French will not only broaden students’ employment opportunities but will also enable them to communicate in a world of linguistic and cultural diversity.

Their learning journey will take them through their own world and that of the French communities. They will explore several topics from family relationships, friendships, school life, travel and leisure activities to global and social issues. They will also participate in excursions and see French films during International Film Festivals. Exchange programs may also be facilitated so they can immerse themselves in the French language and culture.

GERMAN

Guten Tag! Why learn German? It is the most spoken native language in the European Union. Germany has the biggest economy in Europe. It is the nation with the largest outbound tourist trade in the world. German is a key language for science, music, literature and philosophy. Berlin is a hot spot for startups and innovation. There are many opportunities for employment, exchanges, scholarships and grants. German and English share many similar words and grammatical features so students can engage with authentic texts at an early stage. It is a largely phonetic language with many similar sounds as English. Nouns are capitalised which aids comprehension of written texts.

In Years 7-12 girls will progress from topics related to their personal world at beginner level to quite sophisticated global and social issues at VCE level. We include topics about modern Germany including pop music, food and fairytales along the way. Students will have the opportunity to participate in excursions, see films and participate in cultural activities. In 2019 we had a very successful German Study Tour. Often, we host young assistants from Germany to provide support in oral activities. In 2020 we will be using a new, vibrant textbook at Year 7. https://cengage.com.au/secondary/ganz-klasse

CHINESE

Ni hao! Why learn Chinese? China is one of the world’s oldest and richest continuous cultures, over 5000 years old. It is the most populous nation in the world, with 1.28 billion people.

One fifth of the planet speaks Chinese. Mandarin Chinese is the mother tongue of over 873 million people, making it the most widely spoken first language in the world. There are more people speaking Chinese than English. It’s the number one spoken language in the world. China is the second largest economy in the world. China is one of largest trading partners of the Australia. Many Australia companies do business in China and have long-term investments there.

International businesses prefer to hire people who speak more than one language. China has become a huge market, and business leaders are looking for people who can speak Chinese and operate successfully in a Chinese cultural context.

Chinese has a relatively uncomplicated grammar. Chinese has no verb conjugation (no need to memorize verb tenses!) and no noun declension (e.g., gender and number distinctions).

ELECTIVE SUBJECT SELECTION

Discovery Surf

An integral part of a student’s transition to Senior School is her participation in the Discovery Surf Program. This programwill provide each student with valuable opportunities to meet new friends and staff by participating in a variety of outdoor activities in a safe and enjoyable manner. In class groups, the girls will participate in a range of activities including surfing, body boarding, a ‘high ropes’ course and stand up paddle boarding. This time will also be used to introduce Wellbeing and Curriculum programs. All activities will be led by specialist instructors and supported by each child’s mentor and subject teachers. The girls will spend two nights staying in cabin accommodation as well as an introductory experience of two nights camping in tents.

Discovery Hike

The Discovery Hike Program will introduce the girls to a rangeof outdoor skills and concepts. They will complete a modified journey suitable for their age and size. In small groups, they will hike different sections of the Great Ocean Walk between Apollo Bay and Johanna Beach. Students will be camping in tents and cooking their meals on portable stoves. They will carry a reduced pack load from one campsite to another. These fundamental skills and experiences are the foundations for future journeys and expeditions.

The Year 7 Discovery Program’s learning objectives are focused on developing relationships, setting foundations and having fun. Our sequential Outdoor Education program is carefully designed to develop confidence and skills in a range of environments and activities over a number of years.

The Compass Award is a program of discovery and adventure.

Modelled on the framework of The Duke of Edinburgh International Award, a program we introduce in Year 9, the Compass Award is designed to develop goal setting and life skills. The framework allows students to be recognised for their commitment to a range of different skills and activities.

The Compass Award is structured over four progressive levels. Levels 1 & 2 are designed for Years 5 & 6. In Year 7, students have been enrolled in Level 3 and will complete Level 4 in Year 8.

There are no prerequisites and students are not required to have completed Levels 1 and 2 before completing Level 3.

To achieve each level, the student creates a unique program of activities over a set length of time across four sections; Volunteering, Hobbies, Physical Activity and Exploration.

The Award is a student-led initiative and the girls are expected to take ownership of their Award and lead the process. By giving participants the opportunity to try new things and learn new skills, we believe they will develop initiative and commitment, and in the process become more responsible and motivated.

Parents play an active role in supporting their daughter to achieve her goals by providing guidance, supervision and encouragement as she works towards her goals.
