I did French in Year 12, and my school also offered Indonesian.
In my Victorian school, with about 250 students in my year level, there were only 8 in French class, and 3 in Indonesian. They’re not common subject choices, at least in my experience

Sad to see not one Indigenous language present…

What’s the third language in NSW?

Pretty sure English should be in the top 3 too

And if you move schools, they won’t teach the same language so you go back to square one. Its performative at best with no practical learning.
I even did French for most of high school. And when it came time to do it for my graduation years I was told that they didn’t have a teacher qualified to teach it at that level, and I couldn’t do it by distance unless I had a real, practical requirement for learning it.
I.e. unless I had plans to move to a French speaking country, or family doing so, it was too much effort for me to continue. So instead, I did a second English class that I gave no shits about and literally sat up the back doing nothing all year and got a barely passing grade. Edu ma cation is great
Funnily enough, I now live in a country that speaks French and I cannot have the most basic of conversations.

Were there a lot of Italian immigrants to Australia?

Probably more people studying Monégasque in Australia than there are in the whole of Monaco!

Why is Monegasque so popular in Austria, it doesn’t even have 9000 speakers?
(The joke is that it’s obviously Indonesian)

In Australia, we have primary school which is prep through to grade 6,and then high school which is year 7 to 12. I started high school in 1990, and I learned Italian for three years, which was compulsory. After that, you could continue if you wanted, but most didn’t bother. Also, the languages on offer at my school were Italian, Greek and Macedonian. It’s probably not a coincidence that the school also had a fair number of students with those backgrounds.
