Indonesian & International Studies
As Indonesian is taught at other sites on the Fleurieu, our Reception-Year 6 students have to opportunity to interact and share learning with students at other schools. In addition, we currently have an AEF ambassador from Indonesia, who regularly visits YAS along with a sister school arrangement whereby our students interact with students from Indonesia.
Students in Years 7-9 undertake International Studies where they further expand their knowledge of cultural competencies within a broader world view.
Cultural competencies encompasses:
- being aware of one’s own world view
- developing positive attitudes towards cultural differences
- gaining knowledge of different cultural practices and world views
- developing skills for communication and interaction across cultures
