High School Hanyuqiao State Competition S.A.By Marnie Foster On May 17, 16 students and their families and teachers gathered at Adelaide University for the 2008 Hanyuqiao Chinese speaking Competition.

Steven Langford was also guest speaker for the event, sharing his experiences of learning Chinese with the audience. Many students were inspired by his achievements and his passion for Chinese.
There were 2 categories for entry in the competition: second language and first language, with 8 students participating in each from high schools across South Australia.

Good luck to the first and second prize winners in each category who will travel to Canberra in July to compete against the winners from others states. It was great to have so many more students competing this year and we hope to see more schools involved in 2009.
