The Learning Forum meeting was held on 15 February 2012 in Meeting Room 3 at 3:30 pm. The meeting discussed the state of languages and LOTE (Languages Other Than English) at Brigidine, noting that the main issue was not the quality of teachers but students' decisions to not continue language study in Stage 5 and 6 after only being required to take 100 hours of one language in Stage 4. The meeting was attended by KED, MJA, WCO, MJA, AMG, JNI, PKE, and AMO.
