Languages Stage 6

Learning languages opens minds to difference where diversity is seen as a regular part of society. Proficiency in languages provides a national resource that encourages more effective engagement with the global community. 

The rich linguistic and cultural diversity of New South Wales provides an educational environment where the study of languages and cultures is valued as a unique and integral part of the curriculum.

Years 11 and 12 subject choices and career opportunities

Students can see the connections between their subject choices in Years 11 and 12 and the career opportunities these subjects can lead to after school.

We have worked with education and industry experts and added information to each Stage 6 course description about the possible study, work, and training paths relevant to the subject.

See information and forms regarding students' eligibility to undertake Stage 6 Languages courses.
