Congratulations!

The Manitoba German Language Contest is an annual competition that has been running for more than 30 years. The contest is open to all students and speakers of German at the middle and senior years levels in Manitoba. Participants are tested on their reading and listening comprehension, as well as their writing and speaking skills.

On February 20, 2010, over 150 students from throughout Manitoba participated in this year’s German Language contest. The support of various organizations gives participants the opportunity to win a range of cash prizes and study trips to Germany. In 2010, thanks to the generosity of the Goethe Insitut and the Pädagogischer Austausch Dienst, two students were awarded study trips to Germany. The winners of these top prizes were two River East Collegiate students, Angela Roesler and Jenna Schmidt.

Winners of cash prizes from River East Collegiate were:

Christie-Joy Deutsch
Ally Forrest
Janessa Friesen
Emma Maione
Elan Mueller
Jessica Mueller
Jelena Tubin

Thank you to all participants for making the contest a success, and congratulations to all our winners!
