Year 10 Italian Day Out 2020
This event is supported by the Victorian Government.
We have placed on the VATI website nearly all the activities and resources planned for the Year 10 Italian Day to be held at the Catholic Leadership Centre.
The objective of the day was to encourage Year 10 students to continue with their study of Italian.
The package of resources is now made available to you to use online in the best way you see fit.
In the “package” you will find:
- a short video of three students who studied Italian at VCE and are now continuing with their study at University.
- videos giving a modern, non stereotypical view of Italy.
- listening and viewing activities
- music/song activities
- a kahoot game
- film based activity
In order to download the resources you need to complete a request form. A link to the resources will be automatically emailed to you. We will also email you a link to a feedback form at the end of Term Three.

We encourage you to take part in this special event for senior students. The students who participated last year found the day stimulating and rewarding. You can see this on display in the videos of the language specific UNAA Victoria model that were filmed last year. You will find the Italian model UN video on this link: https://fuse.education.vic.gov.au/Pages/modelunlanguages. Please watch and share the video with your students. The videos are designed to give teachers and students an understanding of how the Model UNs work and the benefits that are derived from participating in this unique learning event.
