Speak & Shine

A bilingual communication program that nurtures expressive language, storytelling, and social confidence in both English and Arabic.

Language is more than words — it’s how children connect, express, and grow. Speak & Shine helps young learners develop confidence and communication in both Arabic and English through songs, role-play, stories, and everyday conversation. Aligned with Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), this program also supports emotional expression and early literacy.
