The Sunshine Coast Branch meets twice a term to promote networking among it’s members, so coffee and cake is an integral part of this. Meetings are an opportunity to discuss pedagogical and curriculum developments, to share knowledge and support each other.

Our Speech Contest Convenor works hard with a team of volunteers to provide local students with an opportunity to showcase excellence at the MLTAQ Sunshine Coast Branch Speech Contest, held at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Several student competitions are offered every year to give teachers an opportunity to showcase the excellent Languages programs in their schools.

Members are welcome to join our meetings in person, or on-line.

Please see below or click here to download the meeting schedule for 2023.

Students are invited to design a poster to promote international travel now that all borders are open! Click here to download more information and the conditions of entry.

Teachers - please download the entry forms here. Please note the limit of three entries per year level.

This year’s own choice of topic allows students to showcase their own language achievements within their school’s program, or based on their own interests.

Personal interest, homework or assignment work may be submitted, either as a handwritten or digital text.

Language used should be at the learner’s own level, appropriate to their age and grade at school, based on national curriculum standards.
