Year 10 student wins international foreign language poetry competition in Chinese
We are delighted to announce that Karissa in Year 10 has won the year group entry of the international 'Poésíæ' foreign language poetry competition in Chinese, outperforming fellow students from around 250 schools, all over the globe.
Coached and encouraged by Mrs Mortimer, Head of Spanish, a number of St Peter's students took up the challenge and did very well. Walking past the Spanish classroom in the lead up to the competition deadline, it was not unusual to hear pupils from Years 9 and 10 practising and reciting poetry in the Spanish language, something that is outside the normal curriculum but a wonderful and novel way of developing the love of languages.
