This is modern Australia. What you do is simply good for your children, your community. It benefits Australia, makes us stronger and gives a bridge into the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">In written message to the dinner, the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese said: \u201cYour teachers are keeping language and cultures alive right across NSW. Teaching language to children is a vital part of our identity. Australia is a vibrant and diverse nation and teaching language is a vital part of maintaining our cultural identity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The NSW Premier, Chris Minns, in a video message to the teachers said: \u201cThank you for connecting culture and language.

It teaches us new ways of looking at the world while sharpening our minds at the same time\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Speaking to the more than five hundred teachers at the dinner the NSW Opposition Leader, Mark Speakman echoed the same sentiments: \u201cYou can never underestimate the importance of\u00a0 language education to children in this state where something like half our households speak a language other than English at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u201cCommunity language schools help young children maintain their connection with their\u00a0 heritage and ensure that children grow up not only with the language of their ancestors but also in the values and the traditions of their heritage\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Mr Speakman concluded by expressing the hope that community language teaching would contribute to making \u201cour great multicultural nation the best on the planet\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government, Emergency Services and for Youth, Jihad Dib, told the teachers: \u201cOur diversity is our strength, that our multiculturalism is now born in Australia. The languages we speak, and our heritage make us better as a country. The sixty languages we teach and the thirty thousand kids we teach not only strengthens us as a country but makes us better\u201d, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The President\u00a0 of the Federation of Community Language Schools, Lucia Johns told the gathering:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u201cCommunity language schools are not just places where students learn a language; they are a place for cultural exchange, where the heritage of various communities is preserved and passed on to future generations. Our schools provide students with the opportunity to connect with their roots, to celebrate their traditions, and to embrace the diverse tapestry that makes Australia unique\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u201cThe teachers at these community language schools play a central role in this process. Hundreds of teachers, often volunteers, dedicate their time, energy, and expertise to help students learn and grow in both language proficiency and cultural understanding. These educators are not just teaching grammar and vocabulary, they are fostering a sense of pride in students\u2019 cultural identities and empowering them to bridge the gap between their heritage and the broader Australian society\u201d, she said<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<em>The NSW Federation of Community Language Schools was established in Sydney in 1978 as a not-for-profit reorganization. The aim of the Federation is to unite all community language schools and work together to sustain community languages and contribute to the multicultural assets of New South Wales. It represents \u00a0around 250 member schools in 460 locations with approximately 30,000 students who can choose to learn one or more from the 75 different languages available.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Media Inquiries: Warren Duncan\u00a0 0411 507080 or Email: <\/strong><a href=\"mailto:warren.duncan.crc@gmail.com\"><strong>warren.duncan.crc@gmail.com<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-145322\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Jason-Clare-e1732556431815.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"446\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Jason Clare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-145323\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tony-Bourke-e1732556503617.jpg\" alt=\"Tony Bourke\" width=\"600\" height=\"497\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tony Bourke<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-145324\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Mark-Speakman-e1732556558632.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Speakman\" width=\"600\" height=\"436\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Mark Speakman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-145325\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Jihad-Dib-e1732556610430.jpg\" alt=\"Jihad Dib\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Jihad Dib<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-145326\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucia-Johns-e1732556667112.jpg\" alt=\"Lucia Johns\" width=\"600\" height=\"321\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Lucia Johns<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-145318\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Students-of-the-Hornsby-e1732556149571.jpg\" alt=\"Students of the Hornsby\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Students of the Hornsby Chinese Language and Culture School Inc<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly to your inbox!<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NSW FEDERATION OF COMMUNITY LANGUAGE SCHOOLS INC Multilingualism now the norm A group of senior politicians has acknowledged that Australian society has now changed dramatically, and that language was a key driver of that change.
