CROATIAN CLUB

The Croatian Ethnic School SA, established in 1961, offers a unique and comprehensive education programme for children aged 5 to 13. Our goal is to connect students with their Croatian identity and instil a sense of pride and passion so that our community thrives for generations to come.

​

You don't need any prior knowledge. We focus on Croatian literacy and numeracy and other topics, such as animals, body parts, Croatian history, colours, days of the week, fruits and vegetables, household objects, instruments, prayer, professions, seasons, sports and months of the year.

​

Each year, students come together to rehearse for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Sv. Nikola concerts. We encourage our students to recite Croatian poems and songs and participate in plays and performances. We believe that student participation boosts confidence and advocacy skills in a safe and supportive environment.

​

In addition to Croatian language lessons, the Croatian Catholic Parish provides religious classes for children wanting to receive Holy Communion and Confirmation. Their guidance will equip your child with the necessary knowledge and understanding to progress on their spiritual journey.

​

Learning an additional language benefits a child’s overall education and development. It strengthens a child’s cognitive abilities across various areas, including problem-solving, memory retention, intercultural understanding, and analytical and interpretive skills. Studies show that bilingual learners have improved listening skills, multitasking and communicating abilities, and perform better on standardised tests!
