I can’t believe we are half-way through Term 2 already! I hope you are all well and enjoying the lovely Autumn weather. This term, we hosted a wonderful Sundowner event which provided us with the opportunity to meet with colleagues and network. Thank you to all those of you who joined us at the event. We have added some photos of the day below.

The MLTAWA continues to support the organisation of the AFMLTA Conference, a key event in Languages Education this year, and we can’t wait to see many of you then. If you haven’t registered already, make sure to do so soon. Further details can be accessed in the newsletter below.

Wishing you all a wonderful rest of Term 2,

What is your favourite part about teaching a language?
|
|
I love that I can share my passion for the Italian language and culture. I love that I can be super creative and make every learning experience enjoyable. I enjoy collaborating with colleagues and shining a light on our Learning Area. If I can engage my students and have most of them saying that Italian is their favourite subject then I've done a great job, and the executive team and school community are all happy and supportive. I also love that I can help students understand their identity and develop a greater understanding of their first language, no matter what it is. Read more here.
