Students must study at least 100 hours in one language, to be completed over one continuous 12-month period.
The 100-hour course must cover the Year 7 and 8 outcomes and content of the chosen language syllabus, and must be studied between Years 7–10, but preferably in Years 7–8.

Course description:
A language course provides students with the opportunity to gain effective skills in communicating in the chosen language, to explore the relationships between languages and English, and to develop an understanding of the cultures associated with the chosen language.

For Aboriginal students the study of an Aboriginal language aims to increase self-esteem through an enhanced understanding of their linguistic heritage and an ability to communicate in ancestral languages, to obtain skills in language revitalisation to support cultural and language revival, and to increase links between schools and their local Aboriginal communities.

Randwick Girls offers four languages:
• Chinese
• French
• Japanese
• Modern Greek

When students have completed the mandatory 100 hours of language study, they may continue the study of that language as an elective for the School Certificate and/or choose to study another language.

• Year 7 to 8
• Year 9 to 10
• Year 11 to 12
