NZALT Student Competition Reminder
Don't forget to get your entries in for this year’s NZALT student competition - a collaborative class competition for students in Years 7 - 10. Classes are asked to submit a 2-3 minute film in the target language that includes the phrase “Really?!” for a chance to win a prize for your class.
This competition is only open to students whose teachers are current NZALT members.
Prizes: The best film in each year level (7, 8, 9, and 10) will receive a $150 class prize.
We ask that schools select the best entry in each category and share it with the completed media consent form with the NZALT Secretary no later than Thursday, 4 July.
