The Results for the Junior section of the Tasmanian Japanese Speech Competition are in. Congratulations to:

Zara Omogbai-Musa – 2nd place for Year 8
Zita Omogbai-Musa – 2nd place for Year 7

Zara and Zita have been invited to a reception at Government House in November to receive their certificates from the Governor, Her Excellency the Honourable Barbara Baker AC.

Other participants included:
TCE: Lucy van der Aa, Makaela Fulton
Year 9: Grayson Edwards, Rafe Addison Hall
Year 8: Max Wilson, Erika Rushton, Amelia Verbeeten, Milla U’Ren
Year 7: Preesha Chappity, Evie Fitzpatrick.

Congratulations to all place getters and participants.  For Years 7 and 8 students, learning a speech off by heart in another language is no small feat and for Year 9 and TCE, answering questions in real time in a foreign language for a set amount of time is a wonderful skill.

Thank you to teacher Samantha Hartnack and to our language assistant, Miwa Worrell for all your work in helping me prepare the students for this competition.

Well done to all. たいへんよくできました。
