At TPPS, we value the benefits of learning a second language!
Research shows there are many advantages in learning a second language:
- Improved cognitive functioning
- Enhanced memory, listening and problem solving skills
- Improves your English
- Boosts creativity
- Builds confidence
- Slows dementia
- Travel opportunities
All students (K-6) learn French for an hour a week.
We have taken great measures to become a hub for French language learning in our community and offer several great opportunities, which include access to a French playgroup, after school French classes and our school programs.
French immersion program
We are very pleased to be offering a French Immersion program at our school for Kindergarten, Years 1, 2 and 3 in 2021. We have received substantial community support in providing the program from the Francophone Association of Southern Sydney (FASS). The teacher is parent funded and team teaches with the class teacher, teaching the Australian Curriculum in French (4 hours per week).
Our French language and Immersion program have attracted attention from both the French and Canadian Consulates. Both consulates have visited the school and we are pleased to have their support.
Please note that we currently have a waiting list for 2022 and strong interest for 2023 through to 2026. We are looking at expanding the program to accommodate more students but cannot guarantee availability at this time.
Please contact Anyes McLean at the school office for more information on our program and the enrolment process.
I would like more information on the French programs at TPPS.
