Language Other Than English (LOTE)
Children in Years 4 to 6 are introduced to the Chinese (Mandarin) language, culture and customs through the LOTE program.
Learning languages other than English is a vital part of each child's education. At Middle Park State School, we strongly believe that it:
- enriches our learners intellectually, educationally and culturally
- enables our learners to communicate across cultures
- contributes to social cohesiveness through better communication and understanding
- further develops the existing linguistic and cultural resources in our community
- contributes to our strategic, economic and international development
- enhances employment and career prospects for the individual.
