Congratulations to our friends and colleagues at the Korean Education Centre, which hosted its Relocation Ceremony this week. Mr Tom Alegounarias, President of the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards NSW gave a speech to congratulate the KEC on the work that it does to support Korean in NSW.
The new offices at 287 Elizabeth Street are very well-appointed, and will be a lovely environment for learning about Korean language and culture.

Open High School (now NSW School of Languages) has developed an online and offline blended model course called for the Stage 6 Korean Beginners Course to increase the support for the teaching of Asian languages.

​The course is based on the Korean Beginners Stage 6 syllabus developed by the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES). This project is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations through the National Asian Languages and Studies in Schools Programs (NALSSP).
 
These FREE Korean course materials will be available from 2016 to all NSW government and non-government schools with a Korean program. There is a one-off administrative fee. 
 
To learn more about the course, or to arrange a copy, please contact the NSW School of Languages at NSWSchoolLang.school@det.nsw.edu.au
