Welcome to the new year! Some news to be coming from the President and WILTA soon.

Just a quick update to let you know that the website's renewal for membership in 2020 is being updated now, so if there are any technical difficulties, please be patient with us.

Terima kasih!

A great turnout to our last workshop for the year and AGM. Thanks to Marlee for her organisation and Erin for hosting us at Canning Vale College.

Grant Porteus shared lots of great ideas to engage students and 'Make Learning Fun!'

Then we had Kagumi, an Indonesian Language Assistant, share her experiences so far this year and teach us the Tari Piring dance and also how to make the students' costumes. The power point will be added to the languages connect community.

After our 'enak sekali' morning tea we heard from the Wise Men of WILTA who each shared their language experience journey and imparted their words of wisdom.

A welcome from the consul general of Indonesia, Ibu Dewi, and then we held the AGM.

Welcome to new members of the committee and if anyone would like the opportunity to become the president of WILTA, the position is still vacant...
