The Languages program at Bambara Primary School allows students to communicate and interact effectively with people from other cultural backgrounds. It widens the students' worldview and gives them a better understanding and appreciation of other cultures. At Bambara Primary School, our specialist Indonesian teacher offers Bahasa Indonesia to students from Year 1 to Year 6. They learn about the Indonesian culture, basic phrases, and functional language for communication. The lessons are cumulative, highly interactive, and integrate with aspects of the primary curriculum. Pre-Primary students are also exposed to the Indonesian Language through their Early Childhood program.

Learning a second language in primary school forms a good foundation for students who intend to study foreign languages in high school. Duncraig Senior High School, our feeder high school, offers Bahasa Indonesian as one of its main languages.
