Sure is! My primary school in the 90s taught us in my language class :D
Selamat datang! I learnt Bahasa Indonesia in primary school in the nineties. I've forgotten most of it but some key words and phrases have stuck. All schools teach at least one language other than English, but which language it is varies by school.
Yes at my daughter's primary school from prep to grade 2.
Selamat datang!
At my school it was taught from yr 9-12. It was either Indonesian, German or Chinese. German and Indonesian were compulsory in yr 9.
yes I did it in grade 456.
Hi there! Yes, some schools teach it, mostly private schools. That is, not the state run schools but the ones run by the churches (various) or by private organisations. The school I went to back in the 70s required study of at least one language, and Bahasa Indonesia was one of the choices available. The others were French German Latin & Spanish at that time - nowadays there's more focus on Chinese and Japanese. There's also been a lot of tourism from Australia to Indonesia for quite some time now - at least since the 70s and probably before. Some fairly strong trade links - one category of cattle for sale in northern Australia are officially classified as 'Light Indonesian Steers' and the price is reported on state media once a week.
That is a lot of language options. I was offered German or German. All I have retained is the ability to say "my name is RustyRaven and I am thirteen", which is not particularly useful.
I learned Indonesian in primary school and it was on offer in high school. Selamat Pagi!
I learned a bit in grade 3 (which I have forgotten except counting to ten) and it was available as an option in high school
My third grade teacher would spend the school holidays over there teaching and could speak it very well
thanks for using Leebra!

Hi, Indonesian here. Just wanna ask, is it true that Bahasa Indonesia are taught in schools in Australia? I talked to an Australian recently and surprised that they can speak a bit of Indonesian
