Dositej Serbian Language School
Why Serbian Language
& Culture Classes?
By offering a fun and
positive experience, we aim
to arouse children’s
curiosity and interest in
their heritage.
While working on Serbian
language skills, our
students gain awareness of
contemporary Serbia and
about its path through
history.
Our classes make
connections between the
Australian and Serbian
cultures, helping children
consolidate their Australian
identity with their Serbian
heritage.
Our broader goal, beyond
the classroom, is to
encourage a lifelong
learning of languages and
culture.
Our Program:
Our classes are highly interactive, up-beat and
fun. We only spend some class time at our
desks.
Students are grouped by ability, not age. The
number of classes depends on enrolments and
this is reviewed each term.
Children build up a portfolio of work which they
take home and return to class each week.
