MFL Competition – Languages Immersion Challenge

January 18, 2022 10:57am

During the summer, Mrs Ortega challenged MFL students to take part in the Summer Holiday Language Immersion Challenge which was designed to keep students practicing their target language during the long summer break.

Students completed a booklet containing 14 activities, ranging from sending an email, watching a film or reading a teenagers’ blog in their target language.

Participants have been awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze certificates depending on how many of the challenges they completed. Additionally, there was an optional 5 advanced challenges that students could complete. A Platinum certificate was awarded to students who completed all of these as well as the first 14 challenges.

All participants have been a credit to the MFL department and Holcombe Grammar as a whole. Below are our winners who were all awarded certificates and Amazon Vouchers:
