YEAR 9 LANGUAGES DAY

Each February all pupils in Year 9 are taken off timetable to participate in a series of activities aimed at raising awareness of the importance of learning foreign languages. The day consists of a Euro Quiz, Treasure Hunt, a world cooking event and an ‘Around the World in 80 Clues’ activity. Various colleagues also contribute to the day: Ms Hannah to talk about the Maori language and culture, Mrs Bloomfield to talk about her early experiences of Italian and Mrs Harding who talks about careers using languages. It Is always an excellent day which never fails to get the pupils focusing on just how important it is to be multilingual in today’s ever-changing world.

This academic year the day will be held on Tuesday 31 January 2023
