More than 300 languages are spoken in homes across Australia, but that diversity is not being reflected in the classroom. Recognising that, SBS Radio is encouraging students for the third consecutive year to take up its National Language Challenge to help promote the benefits of learning a second language.


With final exams underway in many states and territories, Year 12 students have one last opportunity to demonstrate all they have learnt over the past 13 years.

Among them are students studying a second language.

Georges River College student Sarah Al-Nuaymi was relieved once she finished her final Arabic-language exam, but she says she intends to continue using the language beyond high school.
