Hi everyone! We've been a bit quiet as we've been working on a new project - and now we need your help!

In order to better understand the needs of students and teachers, we've created a survey that asks questions around access to learning resources and motivation to learn a foreign language.

We ask that anyone from a NSW high school (both students and teachers!) please take the survey.

If you have any questions, you can get in touch with us through this page or email us - [email protected]

Thank you all so much for supporting us!
