Languages Week has brought a vibrant buzz around campus this week, with students participating in an array of multicultural activities. The annual event aims to highlight the lifelong benefits of learning a language while honouring the rich linguistic and cultural diversity that enriches our school community.

Some of the many activities on offer have included:

  • Chinese spring roll making
  • Kung Fu workshop
  • Tao Quan (Chinese hoop looping)
  • French fencing workshop
  • Karate workshop
  • Chinese long rope skipping
  • Crêpe making
  • ‘Teach the Teacher’ sessions in Japanese, Chinese, and French
  • Blind French cheese tasting

Marcus Sharp, Head of Languages, reflected on the significance of the week:

“Just as we warmly welcome students from a wide range of cultures and languages into the Christ Church community, we also value socio-linguistic diversity within our academic program.”

He added, “Languages Week provides students with opportunities to explore new cultures in meaningful, hands-on ways.”

The spirit of Languages Week will carry into next term, as students from Christ Church and Methodist Ladies’ College come together for the annual Languages Quiz – a lively and engaging event that celebrates the richness of languages and cultures from around the globe.
