Calder High School





Modern Foreign Languages
Spanish and French are the languages taught from Year 7 to year 11 at Calder High. (A Levels are offered but are dependent on numbers of students). There are trips to Paris and northern Spain for Yea 7 students and a French exchange takes place each year involving students from all year groups. Check out the visits page for photos and information about the trips and exchanges.

Voki Challenge
During the enrichment weeks in June 2010, Year 9 students had a chance to use the Voki website to test their language skills. The site enabled them to choose an avatar, type in text in Spanish or French - and then play back their creations. It was an challenging listening experience for the rest of the class to hear and understand what the Voki characters were saying.

Some examples from the Voki day are included here.
