Italian awards for Del Monte students

In Term 4, students have celebrated The Week of the Italian Language and Culture in the World and have participated in a competition organised by Co.As.It., Sydney. The themes of the competition were ‘My Italian food basket’ for Kindergarten, ‘My Italian World’ for Years 1 and 2, and ‘An Italian Adventure’ for Years 3 and 4.

Three of our Del Monte students, Maddie Stennett (Kindergarten), Darren Chang (Year 2) and Charlotte Smolcic (Year 4) have received a Merit for their entries, have been invited to the Italian Awards Night on Monday, 24 November, at the Italian Forum in Leichhardt, and have been given their certificates by the Consul of Italy. With over 150 entries, it is quite an extraordinary achievement to have three students from our school receiving this special award. We are incredibly proud of these outcomes and of all our students who have participated with enthusiasm and creative work.
