LOTE

The ability to use a Language Other Than English (L.O.T.E.) and move between cultures is important for full participation in the modern world, especially in the context of increasing globalisation and Australia's cultural diversity.

Communicating in a language other than English and gaining intercultural knowledge and language awareness are the two main learning objectives of this study.  At Trafalgar High School, Indonesian, is our nominated LOTE.  Students are introduced to Indonesian at Year 7 and are able to continue this subject through to V.C.E.  Students are encouraged to continue their language studies until VCE to increase their opportunities of getting a higher ATAR score.

 sampling Indonesian foods, Indonesian cultural activities and
Indonesian visitors.
