School-based Mandarin · Primary & secondary
After-school Mandarin
A familiar place. A new world of words.
When Mandarin becomes part of a child's school community, there are more reasons to join in. Our after-school programs bring language into hands-on activities, shared experiences and everyday communication — helping students feel involved, connected and ready to have a go.

Learning that invites participation
More than words to remember.
Reasons to use them.
We connect Mandarin with experiences students can take part in. Language, culture and practical activities work together, giving learners opportunities to listen, respond and communicate with others.
01
Make language meaningful
Hands-on tasks and interactive activities connect new words with actions, ideas and situations students can understand.
02
Build confidence to participate
Shared activities create opportunities to practise, make choices and try Mandarin in a supportive learning environment.
03
Connect language and culture
Cultural exploration gives students a wider context for what they learn and another reason to stay curious about Mandarin.
Our school partnerships
Super Mandarin
& St Andrew's Grammar
We work with St Andrew's Grammar to bring experiential Mandarin learning into the school community, with after-school classes for primary and secondary students.
The partnership gives students a chance to explore Mandarin alongside their school learning, with teaching and resources that respond to different year groups and starting points.

A little more clarity
Your questions,
answered.
School programs have their own arrangements. Our team can help families and schools find the right information.
How do St Andrew's students join?
Please follow the school's current registration process. Contact Super Mandarin if you need help understanding the class options or finding current program information.
Are school classes the same as centre classes?
Both use our experiential approach. School-based programs have their own group arrangements and timetable, agreed with the school. Ask us about the current options for your child.
Can another school work with Super Mandarin?
Yes, we welcome school partnership enquiries. Tell us about your students and setting so we can discuss a suitable program format together.
What if my child's school does not offer Mandarin?
You can explore our Victoria Park programs or online learning options, or talk with us about a school partnership.
