Chevalier College recognises the importance of languages and offers students the opportunity to study French, Italian or Japanese. Chevalier College provides a very high quality education in languages enabling students to respond positively to the opportunities and challenges of their rapidly changing world. The College also recognises that the study of languages provides opportunities for students to become more accepting of diversity in their communities, more respectful of others and more aware of their place in the international community. Students in Year 8 have the opportunity to study one of the languages and may then choose a language as an elective subject in Years 9, 10, 11 and 12. Our Language Department teaching staff are experienced and dedicated users of a variety of teaching tools available in this the 21st century, in particular interactive whiteboards and online teaching. The ability to communicate in French, Italian and Japanese enriches the opportunities for our students continued learning and for future employment, both domestically and internationally, in areas such as commerce, tourism, hospitality, politics and international relations.
