We are very proud of our Yeronga State High School students who represented our school at the 2025 LTQ Brisbane Languages Speech Contest, hosted by Language Teachers Queensland and generously supported by Griffith University at the Nathan Campus.

A special congratulations goes to Luca Bellingham, who achieved third place in her category—a wonderful recognition of her preparation, confidence, and language skills.

We also celebrate the dedication and courage of all our Yeronga participants who took to the stage to present in another language:

• Inez Bushing

• Jacob Cade

• David Do

• Shawn Duncan

• Phoenix Houston

• Fatmata Massaboi

• Charli Payne

• Sofia Soler Dos Santos

• Vy Tran

• Alejandra Zavaleta Lee

Each student displayed commitment, cultural understanding, and pride in their learning, making our school community proud.

We warmly thank the parents and carers who gave up their Sunday to transport and support students, as well as our dedicated Languages staff for their guidance and encouragement throughout preparation. Ms Garcia-Dominguez, Ms Sun and Ms Uithol all supported our students in the lead-up and served as judges during the day to support the competition.

Congratulations once again to all our competitors—you are wonderful ambassadors for Yeronga and for the importance of language learning in building global connections.
