Summary/Abstract: Organised education in Polish has existed in Australia since the middle of the last century. In terms of primary and secondary education, these extracurricular language classes are held mostly on Saturday mornings, rather than weekday afternoons. Some schools come under local Polish organisations such as Związek Polski (Polish Association), others are part of the Polska Macierz Szkolna (Polish Educational Society). There are also many independent schools which are governed by Parent Associations. These schools continue to gain in popularity – and have particularly done so in recent years. At tertiary level, the Polish language has also been offered at the Department of International Studies at Macquarie University in Sydney since the 1980s.
