Fourth Form Languages’ Poetry Competition

The 2024 edition of the Fourth Form Languages’ Poetry Competition took place on Friday 1 March.

There was a very impressive audience turnout to hear this year’s participants engage in what has become a much-anticipated annual event. The standard of declamation was very high and the judges were faced with a difficult decision over whom to select for each of the languages. However, the eventual winners and their poems were: for French, Rayaan (Le Cancre); for German, Alex (Mondnacht); for Italian, Noah (Il Lonfo); for Latin, Hoa-Tinh (Aeneid 2.547ff) and for Spanish, James (La Semilla Dorada). They received congratulations from the High Master, but thanks should also go to all the students who took part to make it a memorable and enjoyable occasion.
