education for Prep students. By2025, languages education will beuniversal from Prep to Year 10. It ispleasing to know that we are onestep ahead, with all children from
Prep-6 learning Japanese.

language can:
Stimulate brain development
Learning another language helpsdevelop essential areas of childrensbrains. It also helps them to thinkmore creatively, connect ideas and
solve problems more easily.
Significantly enhance English
literacy skills
Learning another language meansmore than just memorising lists ofwords. Languages all use differentsystems. Children automaticallycompare and contrast the system ofthe new language they are learningwith English. This gives them aninsight to how English works, whichaccelerates their ability to read and
write.
Improve memory, concentration
and numeracy skills

The Victorian Governments Vision
for Languages Education

second language are numerous.
Learning another language is anexciting experience for young
children. While they have fundiscovering new and unusual waysof expressing themselves, they alsoexercise and strengthen their brains.That is why the VictorianGovernment is putting youngchildren first in its plan to revitalise
languages education.
According to research, the best timeto start learning a language is earlyin life, so from 2015, all governmentschools will provide languages
How Languages Can Boost Your Childs Brainpower

concentrate and build connections.
Improve overall performance at
school
Learning another language is

understanding of other cultures
Learning another language sparkschildrens curiosity for other cultures.It opens their minds to different waysof living and promotes harmony and

The children had to apply all this
knowledge in their drawings, andthe two drawings I have chosen thismonth display it very well one isan Art Gallery and one is an

PIANO LESSONS ARE
HERE
BEGINNER PIANO LESSONS FOR YOUNG & OLD
Piano is hard work! Piano takes years to get anywhere! You need topractice scales and exercises for a long time before you get to have
any fun and play great songs...
WRONG!!!
Piano can be fun straight away. You can learn to play two-handedtunes in your first lesson! Piano instruction has come a long way inthe last few decades. New techniques and approaches allow for thestudent to enjoy the learning process and experience making musicstraight away. Piano is a journey, not a destination, so the experience
should be enjoyable.
I specialise in absolute beginners for children and adults. Cost is $20upfront for materials, and $20 per 25 minute lesson. Students willtake home songs and exercises to practice. Private lessons are beingoffered for the kids at Launching Place Primary School eachThursday morning starting on the 13th of March. Private lessons arealso available for children and adults outside these hours by
appointment.
If you or your child have always wanted to learn piano, I would love
to help you make this come true.
