Numeracy
Students use and understand pattern, order and relationships, and develop understanding of concepts such as time, number and space in different cultures, as expressed through language. Students become familiar with numbers, dates and terms for mathematical operations in the target Language.
Students apply numeracy skills when they use tables or graphs to support an idea, opinion, or position when creating texts and interacting in the target language.
Student Group
The Continuing course is for students who have studied the language in years 9 and 10 as well as in junior secondary or primary school. It is also for students whose parents are native speakers but who have no formal education in the language. The decision between Continuing and Advanced placement is dependent on the overseas schooling and the language spoken at home. The final decision regarding course placement depends on the Languages Eligibility form. www.bsss.act.edu.au/curriculum/courses/languages.
