The main aim of the school is to develop the three main language skills of speaking and listening, reading and writing, and to foster a love of language and culture by providing programs that include traditions and customs. The school is committed to providing programs that build on what students know, and that take account of different ways and rates of learning. However, as the school teaches on a part-time basis it cannot provide full immersion style teaching for younger children, or VCE-level German for older students.
