Cairns Italian Festival Speaking Competition & Activities Afternoon
On Friday 26 July approximately 100 students learning Italian from around the Cairns region will showcase their Italian language skills and celebrate the vibrant spirit of the Cairns Italian Festival. We can’t wait for the Cairns Italian Festival Speaking Competition & Activities Afternoon, back by popular demand after its successful debut in 2022. Secondary Italian students from the Cairns Region can immerse themselves in a day filled with linguistic prowess and cultural exchange.
Students will have the opportunity to encounter fellow Italian language enthusiasts, fostering new friendships and igniting a passion for language learning. They will also engage in a range of art activities designed to enhance understanding and appreciation of Italian culture, and eat pizza of course! Perpetual trophies are awarded in the Year 9 and Year 12 divisions. Students can claim their place on the podium with medals and prizes awarded to top performers. Every participant receives a certificate commemorating their participation.
The venue for 2024 is Cairns State High School, Auditorium and Library, Upward street entry. Families and visitors are also welcome to attend, but they must sign in at the main office, located on the corner of Sheridan and Upward streets.
Ci vediamo!
