From Tuesday 7 March to Tuesday 14 March, students from year 7-12 competed in the Education Perfect Global Languages Championships. Our students competed against students from all over the world in this online languages competition. The competition allowed all languages students to compete at their own ability level, learn curriculum-aligned content, increase their language knowledge, and compete on an international stage. It was fantastic to see our students fully engage in the competition and encourage each other to get involved on order to earn points and win prizes.

Congratulations to all our students who competed in the completion. Throughout the competition our students spent 571 hours answering 422,817 questions. All their hard work paid off as our school was ranked 24^th globally out of 2,532 participating schools. Furthermore, SBC came second in Victoria for both Japanese and Italian. A special congratulations to the following students who performed brilliantly during the competition:

Year 9 Italian student Ethan Gissara who came 11^th in the world and first in our school,

Year 8 Japanese student Lachlan Mingaars who came 15^th in the world and second in our school,
