The competition gives students an opportunity to practise the language they may be learning or explore different languages that they may not have even thought of or heard of before. Students earn points by completing fun foreign language activities over a seven-day period and have the chance to win prizes and certificates.

There are 62 languages to choose from including Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic, Australian Languages, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Cantonese, Chin-Hakha, Chinese, Croatian, Dari, Dinka, Dutch, Esperanto, Fijian, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Karen, Khmer, Korean, Latin, Macedonian, Malay, Malayalam, Maltese, Mizo, Maori, Pashto, Persian, Polich, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Samoan, Serbian, Sign Language, Sinhala, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Syriac, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Tongan, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese, Xhosa and Zulu.

Students in Year 8 and elective language students in Years 9 and 10 will compete in Japanese, but we encourage all students to get involved and have fun exploring the world of languages and opportunities it may create. Let’s go St Pats!
