Indonesian Language Program

At St Simon Peter, we are proud to offer a comprehensive and diverse Indonesian language program for all children from Pre-Primary through Year Six. This program includes one lesson of class Indonesian each week, as well as opportunities to participate in our Indonesian language competition during Semester Two.

Our curriculum encourages children across all year groups to use their voices, bodies, and classroom resources, creating a rich and engaging learning experience that fosters communication and cultural awareness in our interconnected world.

Typically, children enter the early years with little to no prior experience of the Indonesian language and culture. In these foundational years, the focus is on developing interaction skills, including greetings and the exchange of simple information. This is achieved through action-related talk, structured play, movement, and the joy of singing songs in Indonesian, making the learning process fun and engaging.

As students’ progress through the years, they work on extending their oral communication skills, literacy repertoires, and cultural understanding in accordance with their year level. At St Simon Peter, we are fortunate to have a sister School in Indonesia, which enhances our program by deepening our students' understanding of how culture shapes worldviews and promoting respect for diversity.

We look forward to strengthening our relationship with our sister School this year!
