Congratulations to Lana on her ‘Chinese Bridge’ Achievement

On 25 May 2025, the 18th ‘Chinese Bridge’ Chinese Proficiency Competition was held at UTS. MLC School Year 12 student Lana McLean won third prize in the competition. Congratulations to her on this outstanding achievement!

Here is the reflection of Lana:

‘Last weekend, I had the privilege of competing in the 18th “Chinese Bridge'”Chinese Proficiency Competition at UTS. The competition consists of a general knowledge quiz on China and its culture, a two to three minute speech on a chosen theme (this year’s was “fly high with Chinese”) and a two to three minute Chinese cultural performance. This year was my second year competing, and I had learned a lot from last year, so I was more confident going into this year.

I managed to come away with 3rd place this year. I had prepared a lot with my teachers and spent a lot of time memorising my speech and cultural performance, so I was extremely happy with the outcome. I made a lot of new friends from other schools across Sydney, and everyone competing did an amazing job. I would highly encourage any younger Chinese students to enter for next year. It is so much fun and an incredible learning experience!’
