Student support system
Our comprehensive support system includes a rich blend of online resources, online speaking sessions, online forums, and on-site study sessions. The use of video conferencing ensures that students maintain close connections with their teachers, despite being in different physical locations.
Student demographics
Our students come from over 460 schools across the greater Sydney metropolitan area and various rural regions across New South Wales. Additionally, we offer Stage 6 English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) to students in regional government secondary schools.
2024 Higher School Certificate (HSC) achievements
In the 2024 HSC, 69% of our students achieved results above the state mean, with NSW School of Languages students achieving First in State in 10 courses. Thirty-four students were placed on the High Achievers List, earning marks that placed them in the top 5 in the state. Of the 823 HSC students, 64% achieved a mark in the top two bands, while 96% of students studying an Extension course attained marks in the top two bands.
Innovative course development
The school has developed new courses in Canvas for Year 9, 10, Year 11, and 12 Beginners, Continuers, and Extension students. These courses represent the latest advancements in online learning pedagogy. Our teachers will continue to engage in professional learning focused on language pedagogy, assessment, and supporting students with special needs.
Expert teaching staff
Teachers at NSW School of Languages are experts in their respective languages. More than half of our staff assist the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) in marking the HSC each year, with a significant number involved in the setting and assessment of examinations. Our teachers also present their research and expertise in languages and e-learning at international, state, and local conferences.
We hope that you enjoy your association with NSW School of Languages.
