Lucy Dean For World Chinese Competition

In the Australian preliminary contest for the first Chinese Bridge (Hanyuqiao) Chinese Proficiency Competition for foreign high school students held on 21 June, Lucy Dean of Mount Lawley Senior High School came third and is one of three students representing Australia to compete in China in July.

For her three minute speech, Lucy spoke on her recent school China trip and she sang a song of her favourite Taiwanese group for her cultural test.

Lucy began learning Chinese from a close Chinese friend and the internet in Year 10, enrolled to take up Chinese in year 11 and is taking it as a TEE subject this year. Next year, she plans to study in China at Zhejiang University.


Lucy, you are an inspiration to other language students and you demonstrate that where there is a will there is a way, congratulations !
