High School Curriculum Work: NOW LIVE

The Hellenic Studies Foundation is proud to mark a significant milestone in Greek language education, with the launch of newly developed high school–level units of work for Modern Greek, now live as of the 2026 academic year.

Fully funded by the Foundation and developed by Community Language Schools SA (CLSSA), these curriculum-aligned units are the first of their kind in Australia. They address a long-standing gap in structured, high-quality secondary resources for Modern Greek and represent a landmark achievement not only for the Greek community, but for community language education nationwide.

Created with the input of curriculum experts and experienced educators, the units reflect academic rigour, contemporary pedagogy and cultural depth. They are designed to support teachers in delivering engaging, consistent and standards-based instruction, while strengthening learning outcomes for students across the secondary years. Importantly, this body of work establishes a benchmark model for language curriculum development that can be adopted and adapted across other community languages in Australia.

The rollout of the secondary units forms part of a broader, forward-thinking strategy to secure the future of Greek language education. In parallel, the Foundation has now commenced work on the development of dedicated primary school units, ensuring a seamless and sustainable pathway for students from their earliest years of language learning through to senior secondary levels. This whole-of-school approach reinforces the long-term vitality and growth of Modern Greek in South Australia.

This initiative reflects the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to preserving and strengthening a language that has shaped philosophy, science, democracy, medicine and the arts for thousands of years — while equipping the next generation with meaningful educational opportunities grounded in heritage and identity.
