High proficiency in more than one language is a huge asset living in our interconnected global society. We recognise that students who become proficient in a second language often develop greater mental agility, a sharper memory and are likely to be more alert and perceptive later in life. Such children also develop a broader appreciation and adaptability in a variety of social and cultural contexts.
The School has adopted a bilingual immersion approach where students spend approximately 50% of the week learning in English, and 50% learning in Mandarin. In achieving this goal, the School has adopted the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach to bilingual education with teaching in Key Learning Areas delivered in Mandarin.
Chinese is the language of communication of approximately one-quarter of the world's entire population.
The School’s education will l prepare students for life in a 21st Century world in which the relationship between China and Australia will continue to assume wider and deeper importance.
Kindergarten is an important year of schooling as children formally begin to develop their literacy and numeracy skills. It is our whole school community's aim to help your child adjust and make them feel safe so that they are ready to learn.
Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn 5 on or before 31st of July in that year. By law, all children must be enrolled in school by their 6th birthday.
Parents and caregivers can do a lot to help prepare their child for Kindergarten before their first day at school. Please use this only as a guide.
At International Chinese School, we provide a carefully balanced learning program to cater for individual needs, following the NSW Education Standards Authority’s (NESA) Key Learning Areas.
Learning in Primary is structured in stages. For each learning stages there are skills, knowledge and a level of understanding that each student should develop.
These Key Learning Areas are further enriched through a variety of other co-curricular programs.
