Only school promoting bilingualism

[edit]

Re: The International French School of Sydney is one of the only schools in Australia to foster bilingualism.

I had a recent edit removing this reverted by Kerry Raymond (talk · contribs). Not quite sure how best to address the concerns- as the claim is just ridiculously broad. Sydney has Killarney Heights Public School (which is French/English bilingual and I probably should look to get it a wiki page, presumably that isn't too hard..?!), German International School Sydney, Sydney Japanese International School, and a heap of the top private schools offer immersion language programs. Others include Auburn High School, Brunswick South Primary School, Huntingdale Primary School, Telopea Park School, etc etc. I know nothing of Qld for instance, but a quick search shows many offering full immersion programs[1].

A single counter-example would suffice and you have provided it and I have undone my revert :-) Indeed, now that I look at the sentence in question "The International French School of Sydney is one of the only schools in Australia to foster bilingualism" I realise it actually isn't true for a 2nd reason, as Lycee Condorcet isn't fostering bi-lingualism nor running an immersion program (which I believe is different to the examples you give) because it is a French-only language school, following a French curriculum where English is only used for the minority of senior students who elect to do the IB in the final 2 years as opposed to the majority who do the French Baccalaureate which is taught in French.
