Spanish is being progressively introduced at Waimea College. In 2025, Spanish will be available in Years 9, 10 and 11.
The emphasis in Year 9 is on interaction. There are varied activities as students learn to ask and answer simple questions, giving personal information. Student learning is supported by the use of games, songs, individual whiteboards, flashcards and video clips. The course includes investigating Spanish culture. Highlights are watching a film and tasting Spanish food.
