Hebrew Immersion Program (HIP)
About this program
HIP provides a dynamic Hebrew language education that focuses on developing confident reading and writing skills, and fundamental speaking skills.
Students learn about Israeli culture: Our educators are native Hebrew speakers, and our students experience Israeli music, celebrate Israeli & Jewish holidays, and engage in activities relating to Israel.
HIP graduates are equipped to continue studying Hebrew at a secondary school level.
HIP is currently running in 6 government primary schools including online, with more schools to start in the near future. The program runs either before or after school, ranging from 1-3 sessions per week to suit parent demand and school requirements.
The HIP program is open to all students in the school at which it runs. HIP is supported by the Victorian Government, and UJEB is an accredited Community Languages Victoria provider.
Aims

Reading, writing, comprehension & grammar.
Foundation Level Conversation
