On Sunday 17 August, the 44th LTQ–Griffith University Languages Speech Contest was held at Griffith University, drawing over 1,100 enthusiastic contestants from across the Gold Coast and Logan City.
Each year, our college proudly participates in this prestigious event, consistently sending a large number of dedicated students. This year was no exception, with 62 students from Years 4 to 12 representing the college. After five weeks of focused preparation, they confidently showcased their language skills through articulate and expressive speeches.
Their outstanding performances were a testament to their hard work, perseverance, and passion for languages. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the contestants—you have made our college incredibly proud!
Although I practiced often for the LTQ competition, seeing my hard work pay off with a medal made it all worthwhile. The coaching teachers were very supportive, offering weekly meetings and in-class help throughout my journey. It was a great experience, and I would highly recommend participating to anyone interested in improving their foreign language skills. – Year 11 student Dinuki Indiketiya
The LTAQ competition this year was an amazing opportunity to put the skills we’ve learnt in class into action. I have definitely seen my confidence and skills in responding to spontaneous questions increase over the years. As our final year, it was great to have the majority of the year 12 Spanish class participating. What a great conclusion to my Spanish speaking competition experience! – Year 12 student Matilda Grant
