AISHK’s language programmes take a dynamic and inventive approach to language learning, equipping our students with the skills and cultural literacy to navigate and lead in a global community.
Chinese
Chinese (Mandarin) is compulsory for all students from Reception to Year 6, and becomes an elective subject from Years 7 to 12.
Primary students take Chinese class every day and enjoy a number of additional support programs available to enhance their language skills, including the Year 1 and Year 2 Reading Enrichment Program, Talking Chinese Program and the Chinese Homework Club. In Year 6, an annual, one-week cultural camp to Beijing is held which gives students the opportunity to utilise their language skills and gain a further appreciation and understanding of Chinese culture.
