Learning about culture & values

At Townsville Primary School, our Mother Tongue lessons bring language to life by immersing students in the rich traditions and values of their heritage. Through hands-on experiences during festive celebrations and the vibrant Mother Tongue Language Fortnight, students not only acquire language skills but also develop a profound appreciation for their cultural roots. These engaging lessons foster pride, respect, and a deep sense of identity, making the learning journey both meaningful and unforgettable.
