Year 10 Chinese (Second Language Advanced)

Prerequisite

Students must have Chinese as a home language or have had extensive prior language learning. (bilingual schools, in country study or spent lengthy time in China, Singapore, Hong Kong or Taiwan) It is important that background information regarding students’ experience and proficiency in Chinese is provided during the subject selection process, as this is guided by VCAA requirements for Unit 1-4.

Please note:

• If students do not fall in the above experience, and who select Advanced Chinese will be asked to sit a written and spoken placement test. 

All students who have developed oral proficiency due to having Chinese as a home language are able to select Advanced Chinese. In Senior School they can continue their study of Chinese (First, Second Language Advanced or Second Language level, depending on the student’s language and educational background).

Please note that at Year 10 level, Chinese (Second Language) and Chinese (Second Language Advanced) students are placed in a combined class (subject to selection and student numbers). Students will continue to have differentiated and supported pathways. The classes are separated at Year 12 level.
