The “Chinese Bridge” Chinese Proficiency Competition is the largest international Chinese language contest in the world — a prestigious platform that brings together students from across the globe to celebrate language learning and cultural exchange.
On Sunday 18 May, two of our students, Eva Shaw (Year 10) and Jack Duncan (Year 12), proudly represented Scotch Oakburn in the 2025 Tasmanian regional final of the competition. Their hard work and passion shone through, with Eva taking out second place and Jack placing third: an incredible accomplishment that reflects their dedication and love for the Chinese language.
Through speeches, cultural insights, and language skills, Eva and Jack demonstrated how learning Chinese can open doors to a wider world. Their efforts have not only brought them well-deserved recognition but also inspired others to embrace the journey of language learning.
We’re excited to see where this experience will lead them next and how many more bridges they will build along the way.
