​Early Learning and Primary Education at the Department of Education, in collaboration with Sydney Institute for Community Languages Education (SICLE) will deliver the Community Languages Teachers Test from 2019.

The new Community Languages Teachers Test has been developed to assess the level of language proficiency in the community language within the Australian educational context.

Teachers wishing to gain the teaching code for permanent employment in the Community Languages Program K-6 are invited to express their interest in sitting the test.

NESA has released Languages K-10 syllabuses for French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Korean and Spanish for implementation in 2019.

These syllabuses are available online at http://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/k-10/learning-areas/languages in both PDF and Word format.

Professional learning will be provided for teachers throughout 2018 to support teachers in the familiarisation and planning process.

We have designed an engaging, entertaining and educational incursion whereby the students all have a chance of participating in making their dish and eating it too! 
​
The complete package includes:

• * Lessons leading up to our visit, worksheets for the recipe and IWB activities. These all allow the students to become familiar with the ingredients and method of cooking and gain a deeper understanding of the food’s origins. The resources are presented in either English or the native language of the cuisine.

* A completely “hands on” cooking class directed by experienced chef and teacher Luca Roncari. We provide all cooking materials, ingredients, cutlery and plates, chef hats, aprons, gloves and protective clothing for each student. Everything we bring meets NSW food safety standards. A risk assessment and permission note are provided prior to the incursion and we cater to all dietary requirements.

We offer a range of dishes to suit and these are listed on our website www.schoolcookingincursions.com.

Our classes run for 1 hour and we cater for small and large groups.
