The decision to end the Vietnamese Bilingual Program occurred at a closed School Council Extraordinary Meeting in April 2020. Prior to this, the School’s Department commissioned a Report by two academics from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education of the University of Melbourne. The School’s Principal requested restricted access to this Report. This Report recommended the School adopt a ‘commonly taught language’ as the second language of instruction, mainly Italian or Japanese. The Author prepared a response to this Report for the Council members to consider. The Author also tabled a separate document for the closed meeting.
