Congratulations – Katya (Year 11)
Last term, Katya applied for the NSW School of Languages’ Language Ambassador Program without fully knowing what the experience would involve, but with a genuine sense of enthusiasm and curiosity. By Week 2 of this term, Katya was delighted to receive confirmation that she had been selected for the role.
On 11 May, Katya attended the Language Ambassador Day at the NSL campus. The day commenced with an official endorsement ceremony, where they were formally recognised as members of the 2026 student leadership team. Following the ceremony, it was wonderful for Katya to meet and connect with the other ambassadors.
The group represents more than 12 languages (in addition to EAL/D), spans three year groups, and includes students at varying stages of language proficiency. Despite these differences, they are united by a shared passion for language learning and a strong appreciation for cultural connections. This common enthusiasm was evident throughout discussions and interactions, highlighting the important role language plays in bringing people together and enriching their learning experiences.
From the first meeting, it was clear that Katya felt part of a dedicated and inspiring team that is committed to encouraging, enhancing, and positively shaping language learning throughout the school community this year.
“It is an absolute privilege to represent NSL as a Language Ambassador! Meeting the other student leaders of the school’s 12 languages was incredibly inspiring. I can’t wait for what this role will bring!”
