The Mandarin program at Canterbury focuses on developing student’s second language skills in the four main components of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The curriculum in delivered through engaging activities such as singing popular Chinese nursery songs, story-telling and dramatic acting to help immerse and cement the students understandings and develop their Chinese language skills.

A specially tailored Mandarin booklet, designed for second language learners, is used in class to encourage students to learn with confidence. Students at Canterbury Primary School are also exposed to the culture and tradition of China through a variety of group and individual projects.
