Middle School

St Andrews Duolingo Championship

Apart from some Year 6 students who still need to create a profile, most students in Year 6 – 8 French have now been connected to the St Andrews Duolingo Championship.

This week the spotlight falls on Hesed She in Year 8. Hesed joined the championship at the start of Year 7, and immediately became the front player in points, a position that he has kept since the start of 2015.  His XP total at the time of writing is 13,225. Hesed has been playing wisely, keeping all his skills gold as he is progressing through the skill levels. If he continues this endeavour, he might become the first student to achieve a Golden Owl before the end of Year 8.

Hesed She displays the certificate and prize he has received for being the top achiever in Duolingo XP (skill points) in the school

At this stage there are 7 students in the Duolingo Champions Club: They are Hesed She, Freesia Goh, Ella Cassidy, Timothy Snooks and Carla Dreyer from Year 8, and Rachel Woon and Min Hyun from Year 7. These students all have more than 3000 XP, and are invited to come to R 17 during lunchtime on Mondays to learn some tips and skills that will help them to achieve their Golden Owl. Congratulations to these and all the up and coming champions!
