At ELTHAM we have a number of co-curricular groups and activities that involve an awareness and care for the COMMUNITY.
CHINESE HUB
Welcome to our dynamic Chinese Hub, where students actively participate in co-curricular activities that seamlessly integrate language learning with the richness of Chinese culture. This hub will be led by Chinese teachers and senior school students and who are passionate about language learning and are keen to promote a diverse learning environment at ELTHAM College. From interactive Mandarin workshops and cultural celebrations to calligraphy, brush painting, and traditional Chinese art, our diverse program offers a blend of linguistic proficiency and cultural immersion. Join us on this holistic journey where language and cultural appreciation converge for an enriching co-curricular experience.
Available for students in Year 5 – 12.
