Thornbury High Italian Poetry Competition
Congratulazioni!!!
On Wednesday 22nd November, 10 excited students, five from Grade 5 and five from Grade 6, participated in the Thornbury High Poetry Competition. The students were extremely excited to have the opportunity to visit Thornbury High and meet students from other nearby primary schools. It was a wonderful way to extend our program and an enriching and authentic way to practise the Italian language.
The day consisted of a variety of activities including Thornbury High Year 8 Immersion Program students’ performance and Scopa Italian card game demonstrations. The pizza was delizioso!
We were so excited when the judges announced that two IPS students made it to the finals. The students should be proud of the hard work that they put into it. Thank you to Thornbury High School, students, parents/carers, teachers, and everyone involved.
Our students won the following awards:
| Year 5 | Awards | Year 6 | Awards |
| Diva A 5L | Terzo Premio (Third Place) | Daniel R 6K | Secondo Premio (Second Place) |
| Angelina L 5L | Distinto (Distinction) | Anton K 6K | Attore del Futuro (Actor of the Future Award) |
| Aashna G 5L | Distinto (Distinction) | Jasmine K 6P | Lode (Praise Award) |

| Mila P 5L | Premio Pronuncia (Best Pronunciation) | Julia H 6P | Attore del Futuro (Actor of the Future Award) |
Congratulazioni! Congratulations to the winners for all your hard work and dedication in learning your chosen poem and impressing the judges with your animated interpretation and presentation of the poem. Well done to all the students who worked equally hard and for displaying the school values on the day.
Ben fatto! Well done!
