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 LTQ 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.

The AGM is on Thursday in Term 1, week 9 (27/03/25).

Where possible, Branch meetings have been scheduled soon after LTQ's Languages Teachers Forum. This gives members the opportunity to continue their professional conversations on the topic of the previous Forum. Other agenda items are welcome of course!

Afternoon tea will be available at all of the face to face events, and two social functions have been planned in 2025.

Please register your interest for this competition by Thursday 5 June.

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.
