A Latin Triumph!
Our pupils have once again achieved outstanding results in this year’s National Latin Exam, a prestigious assessment taken by hundreds of thousands of pupils worldwide.
Each year, our Removes participate in this challenging exam, which forms part of their ongoing assessment portfolio in place of a summer exam. Pupils with prior Latin experience sat the Beginning Latin Reading Exam, while those new to the subject took the Introduction to Latin Exam.
This year, for the first time, our Sixth Form Latinists also entered the Intermediate Latin Reading and the Advanced Latin Verse Exams – the latter being the most demanding of all. We are especially proud of James and Emily (U6), who both earned Gold Medals in the Advanced Latin Verse Exam. Notably, James achieved a perfect score and, along with Emily, is now eligible to apply for the prestigious 2025 Maureen O’Donnell Scholarship for Academic Excellence, a $2,000 award for top performers.
These results reflect the dedication and hard work of our pupils across all levels. Congratulations to everyone who took part – you have demonstrated true excellence in classical studies and made our school proud.”
