Language the way to top future at Murray Farm Public School

CHILDREN will bid konnichiwa to new lessons as Murray Farm Public School joins the Bilingual Schools Program next year.

The Carlingford school is one of four state primary schools that will learn an Asian language in the first bilingual classes.

Principal Colin Booth said kindergarten and year 1 students will study Japanese for 90 minutes a day.

Rouse Hill, Scotts Head and Campsie public schools will also participate in the $2.5 million, four-year program.

“I am really excited about this program for the school as I have seen my own daughter learn another language in high school and it has benefited her in life, especially in the workplace,” Mr Booth said.

“Teaching our students from an early age gives them the scaffolding to learn another language more easily.

“Looking at our local high schools like Muirfield High and Cherrybrook Technology High School and the fact they have Japanese as their major language, was one of the main reason why our school was also selected.”

Mr Booth said the school had a 72 per cent non-English speaking background with Chinese, Korean and Indonesian the three predominant languages spoken there.

“As part of the selection process we had to choose a non-community language which is why Japanese is such a good language for our school,” he said.

“By the time our students finish year 6 they should be fluent in three languages - their home language, English and Japanese.”

Mr Booth said it was planned to expand Japanese to all grades।
