“You live a new life for every new language you speak. If you know only one language, you live only once.” ‒ Czech Proverb

Being able to communicate in another language is available to everyone at Le Fevre High School.

Students will leave this course with the ability to communicate in Indonesian on a wide variety of topics which are both relevant and useful to them. Their confidence and ability with speaking, listening, reading, and writing in Indonesian will provide them with intercultural competence and problem-solving skills for the workforce and life.  Their understanding of English will be enhanced through the learning experiences they are provided with.

They will journey further through Indonesia’s culture via the arts, food and many other learning experiences made available to them.

Year Nine is when Indonesian becomes truly captivating. Students who elect to study a full year of Indonesian at Year Nine can go on a pathway to complete SACE Indonesian one year early.
