LTQ Speech Contest

Over 450 students from 44 schools across the region came together at UniSC to compete in the annual LTQ Speech Contest in a quest to find the best language speakers across a range of languages. We fielded a large number of entries (48 in total from Year 5-12), and all students worked hard in preparation for the event. It was wonderful to see our students together competing across French and Japanese, and we are grateful to all of our Senior students and Language Ambassadors who assisted with mentoring in the lead up to the competition. Congratulations to all students who participated and well done to winners and placeholders – we are extremely proud of all of you. Presentation of certificates will take place at assembly in Term 4. For full results of the competition, please see the documents below.

Book Week – book donations for The Library Project, Vanuatu

Our French Department and Grammar Helping Hands have teamed up to support The Library Project Vanuatu. Thank you to everyone who has donated books so far.

Earlier this year, students helped sort donated books and a small team travelled to Brisbane to assist with a Library Creation Day. These efforts are part of a larger initiative to build libraries in Vanuatu.

Funds raised from our Bastille Day food stall will also go directly towards shipping costs. Vanuatu does not have a single book shop, so any donations you have made will most definitely be well received.

Get ready for an exciting afternoon of music, art, and community spirit at Forest Fest on 24 October 2025! This vibrant event will feature performances from all music ensembles, a captivating art show, and entertainment from the staff band.

Battle of the Bands

Two of Grammar’s rock bands competed in last weekend’s “Battle of the Bands” at St Andrews Anglican College. Both Corkscrew (Clark D, Dylan H, Alex S, Fraser N) and Girlypop (Braydon K, Tati Z, Mia C, Milla N, Cedar F) performed at a very high standard for the 1,000-plus crowd at the school fete. Whilst neither band was the overall winner, it was a wonderful opportunity for both bands to play on a large stage with professional sound and to hear the other bands in the regional competition. Thanks to all the parents, teachers and students who supported them on the day.

Thanks to Mr Ewan for his work with Corkscrew and Ms Myers for Girlypop.

We look forward to next year’s competition!
