\"\"On 25 May 2025, the 18th ‘Chinese Bridge’ Chinese Proficiency Competition was held at UTS. MLC School Year 12 student Lana McLean<\/strong> won third prize\u00a0in the competition. Congratulations to her on this outstanding achievement!<\/p>\n

Here is the reflection of Lana:<\/em><\/p>\n

‘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\u2019s was “fly high with Chinese\u201d) 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.<\/em><\/p>\n

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!’
