Our aim is to develop a Greek Australian identity within children, helping them gain confidence in
using the Greek language in their family environment and preparing them for further study in Greek.
Our objectives are to enable children to:
• be immersed in the Greek language and culture
• develop skills that will enhance second-language learning
• to enjoy learning the Greek language and culture in a bilingual environment
• develop an appreciation of their cultural heritage
We aim to meet our objectives with all our classes, from Kinder through to VCE.
