Larrakeyah Primary has a partnership with the Confucius Institute at CDU and we
commenced this year trialling Chinese language lessons with a Year 3 class. We have
since expanded this program to include all Year 3 students. We have been very
pleased with the program and are currently negotiating to extend the program in the
school next year. Meanwhile we are also trialling an online Chinese program through
The Education Group which has been interesting. We were fortunate to have visitors
from the Confucius Institute attend our Assembly last Friday. Martin Jarvis (Australian
Director Confucius Institute), Donghe Liu (Director Confucius Institute CDU) and Tina Ma
(Chinese Professional Teacher Confucius Institute CDU) observed the wonderful Year 3
Chinese performance.
We would also like to commend our music students who performed at last week’s
assembly and the work of the music teachers from the NT Music School. We were very
entertained and appreciate the talent of our students.
Larrakeyah Primary is a DoE/CDU Teaching School. We welcome the preservice
teachers who will be working in our school this term.
