The Languages Support Committee welcomes you to Mount Lawley Senior High School. Currently there are five languages being taught at the school. They are: Chinese, French, German, Indonesian and Italian.
It is also a specialist GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) school.
What We Do
We want students to leave Mount Lawley Senior High School with happy memories of their time studying their chosen language and enough skills to support them if they wish to further their studies when they leave.
In order to make this happen we ask that you become actively involved by joining the Languages Support Committee. We are a small but friendly bunch trying to put together some wonderful events that realistically require much more manpower. Most of us work and find getting to meetings a challenge. However, if you want to make a difference or think you can offer a particular skill or have a business or even family members who could be useful in some way, then we would really appreciate your support. Good cake bakers are always handy and a bit of muscle when we need it is always welcome. Ideas people are great and we really appreciate people that can be "hands-on".
