NOW HAS REACHED THE LIMIT
Year 9 Opening a Door Into Asia

   Registration Deadline: Tuesday 19 May 2015

The Catholic Education Office in association with the Asia Education Foundation (AEF) would like to invite you and your Year 9 students to Opening a Door Into Asia - a special half-day program designed to showcase the importance of understanding and engaging with Asia and for Year 9 students to explore the connections between Asia and their personal and potential career interests and goals.

Opening a Door Into Asia will focus on the benefits of continuing with the study of languages with special attention to the Asian languages being currently taught in CESA schools: Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese and Vietnamese. They will be assisted in this by AEF's Asia Literacy Ambassadors, university lecturers, students and recent graduates with Asia related experience, skills and understandings.

The half-day event is an opportunity to celebrate the work your school has been undertaking to prepare your students for the 21st Century - the 'Asian Century'. There are 90 places available (15 per school at this stage as further places may become available later) and some priority will be given to schools that demonstrate a commitment to extending their students' engagement with Asia beyond the Opening a Door Into Asia event.
