Most Indonesian teachers are aware of the annual, cross-sectoral Kompetisi Siswa, but may not know what happens behind the scenes!

In this short video, you can learn more about this competition for Indonesian language learners, as well as see the 2017 judging in process and the fantastic entries from so many talented students:

Kompetisi Siswa is an annual Indonesian writing competition for NSW schools, sponsored by the Australia-Indonesia Association of NSW (AIA NSW) in conjunction with the Modern Languages Teachers' Association of NSW (MLTA NSW) and the Indonesian Consulate, Sydney. 

The competition is open to students of Indonesian in NSW, from Kindergarten to Year 10. Many teachers find this a great opportunity to raise the profile of Indonesian within their school community and for their students to experience competing with students in other schools at a state level.

Each Stage is given a different topic and format for submitting entries. Teachers are asked to coordinate their students’ work by selecting six entries per Stage to be entered in the competition.

The closing date for entries is Friday 22 September 2017.

Prizes for first place, second place and highly commended are generously donated by the Australia-Indonesia Association of NSW. All students will receive a certificate of participation from the MLTA of NSW. Each participating school will receive a certificate of appreciation from the NSW Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia.

See the flyer for further details and the entry form to participate.

Terima kasih banyak to the 67 students from 8 schools who entered this year’s Kompetisi Siswa.

Members of the Australia-Indonesia Association of NSW, along with the MLTA of NSW and the Indonesian Consulate, including Bapak Yayan Mulyana, the Indonesian Consul-General and his wife, Ibu Irene Mulyana, jusged the entries last week. 

Each year we receive many creative and interesting entries, which makes choosing the winners a difficult task.  Congratulations to the winners from each category, who will each be receiving a prize generously donated by the Australia-Indonesia Association of NSW.

All students who entered the competition will receive a certificate of participation from the MLTA of NSW and each participating school will receive a certificate of appreciation from the Indonesian Consulate.
