Italian is the Language Other Than English (LOTE) taught at Phoenix Primary School and is a language rich in Arts and Culture and an exciting addition to our curriculum.

Students at Phoenix Primary School study Italian for our Language other than English (LOTE) program. Students from year three to six attend a sixty minute session of general Italian learning each week.

Students participate in speaking the Italian language to their peers and teacher. They practise the correct technique of pronouncing Italian words and sentences. Children learn general greetings, colours, family and numbers in Italian. They also participate in the history of Italy, which includes food, transportation, population and community.
