Our College has a strong commitment to work with and reflect the needs of our local community and importantly create learning opportunities for students. In this sense we are extremely fortunate to have developed a close relationship with our community.
The Hindi Language Program first commenced at our Prep level, Callistemon Campus and has expanded to Secondary Year Levels at Deloraine Campus.
We are continually expanding the program across the school and now have two full time teachers of Hindi employed at our College. Our staff are not only delivering lessons but are now also engaging highly with Wyndham’s Indian Community.
We strongly welcome members of the community to visit and discuss with us the opportunities to learn the Hindi language.
The Hindi Program provides instruction in all four language skills – reading, writing, speaking and listening. The program uses carefully designed learning activities, which provides exposure to the rich culture of India and also provides opportunities to explore the cultural context of the language including crafts, music and dance.
Students studying Hindi will develop their Hindi vocabulary and ability to confidently communicate.
Hindi is the fifth most spoken language in the world, spoken by 185 million speakers. Hindi is spoken by substantial populations in India, Bangladesh, the UK, USA and Australia. Hindi is linguistically relative to Urdu, the official language of Pakistan and also relates to Bengali and Punjabi. Hindi also uses the same script and shares many elements of vocabulary with Sanskrit.
The Grange P-12 College is pleased to support your child in their development of bilingual and multilingual skills through our Hindi language program.
