The Thistle - An E-Newsletter of Scotch College, Perth, Western Australia

Language Experience

Senior boys studying a language are encouraged to spend time immersed in a host country of that language. This exposure is culturally beneficial as it allows students time to evolve their thinking (rather than translating) in the studied language. Oral responses become automatic which is invaluable.

Future opportunities include:

Year 11/12 tour to Spain - July 2017

Year 9 tour to France - September 2017

Scotch boys are encouraged to host French students from La Reunion each December and visit in July. There is also the possibility of a similar exchange to Angers, France. Please contact Jonathan Rugg, Head of Languages Jonathan.Rugg@scotch.wa.edu.au for further details regarding student exchanges and an application form.
