On Saturday 11th September, five Mount Lawley Chinese students participated in the Chinese Speaking Competition. Aaron O'Neil (Year 8) won first prize, Sarah Van Halen (Year 8) won fifth prize, Oliver Logan (Year 9) won fifth prize and Matt Parry (Year 10) won fourth prize. Each student competed in the category of their year group. Parents, teachers and of course the students themselves should be very proud of the efforts and achievements they demonstrated in the competition. I saw how much dedication and motivation you all put into this and I am very happy with your results, gong xi ! We have some very talented Language students with a wonderful future ahead of them and it is a credit to their parents and teachers for the support and encouragement they offer but especially to the participants for their willingness to work hard. I congratulate all our competitors and advise them to enter again in 2011. It is a pleasure to have them represent our school. They demonstrate that when you are prepared to work hard, there is nothing you cannot achieve. Keep up the great work. You epitomise our motto, "Languages For Life."
