Congratulations to Sofia (Year 8) and Kate (Year 10) who have won first prize in their respective year groups in the Modern Language Teachers' Association of the ACT's new photography competition.

The competition invited Year 3-10 students to submit a photo that reflects the topic: French is everywhere. A prize ceremony was held at the end of Week 7 at Alliance Française of Canberra.

Our students were grateful to receive a book, key chain and framed print of their photos, which had been on display at Alliance Française.

Both students had thought carefully about the subject of their photographs and how to assemble the items. Sofia demonstrated great patience in waiting for rain, in order to bring the snails out.

Our picture shows both students after the recent ceremony, with their winning pictures. We would like to offer our congratulations to Sofia and Kate and extend our thanks to the competition organisers.
