Friday, 21st February was the United Nations Mother Language Day which takes place on this date annually and is celebrated in over 200 countries. The day helps raise awareness about the importance of using our first, or Mother Tongue language, and reminds us that languages advance inclusion and understanding of each other.
We are excited that at our beautiful Global Peace School, here at Parafield Gardens, 64% of students speak English as an additional language or dialect with many of our remarkable students and staff speaking multiple languages.
Room 21 celebrated this special day by sharing our Mother Languages in class. Ms Rahila read We're going on a Bear Hunt in Farsi and the students loved looking at books in their Mother tongue languages.
