Hutt Valley High School
Languages
When you learn a
new language you learn to communicate, understand and appreciate your own
and other cultures. Language learning opens your mind to a world of
possibilities!
Language learning
links us to our own past and heritage and languages play an important role in
shaping our global community.
As students learn a
language, they develop their understanding of the power of language. They
discover new ways of learning, new ways of knowing and more about their own
capabilities. They learn to take risks and develop their self-esteem as they
reach out into the world.
Hutt Valley High
School Languages Department teaches international capabilities. These
capabilities are the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that enable people
to live, work and learn across national and cultural boundaries. We are
proud to teach these intercultural competency skills through the wide range of
languages we offer. These languages are: Spanish, French, Te
Reo Maori and Japanese.
We offer trips to Spain, France and Japan every two years for senior students.
