Tenison Woods College, Mount Gambier, has been promoting Asia Literacy in schools and particularly in the South East of the State for the last few years. This school-wide effort has now been recognised at a national level by the Asia Education Foundation. The College has been building demand for Asia literacy through its Chinese language program; involvement in community events that highlight the College’s commitment to the Chinese language and culture program; the initiative that is offered to all members of the school to participate in an excursion to China; and building partnerships with schools in China program.
The College also supports the Chinese Mandarin language program implemented at Mary Mackillop Memorial School at Penola and was successful in its application to participate in the State wide “Maximising intensivity and continuity” project, funded by the State Government and run by the Research Centre for Languages and Cultures (RCLC) at the University of South Australia. This project builds and supports a sequential Chinese (and Italian) languages program linking it to the other two participating schools in the South East: Mary Mackillop Memorial School and St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School. The College also works together with the CEO Languages Team on different aspects of the program.
The following is an excerpt from an article that recently appeared in the “What works 8: Parents and the learning of Asian languages in schools”, which can be found on AEF's Web portal at Asia Education
