All Year 10 students, and Year 9 gifted and talented accelerated language students, currently studying a language, who intend to enrol in a Year 11 course in one or more of the Languages listed below, must complete an Application for permission to enrol in a WACE Language course (Language application):

  • Chinese
  • French
  • German
  • Hindi
  • Indonesian
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Korean
