We are thrilled to announce that three of our talented students have been named finalists in the prestigious Dante Alighieri Poetry Competition for 2025.

Congratulations to our finalists:

• Giuliano Frisina (10MJLI)

• Jai Langley (10KPBA)

• Marco Parpinel (9KMLE)

Their creativity, confidence, and passion for the Italian language shone through in their poetic performances, earning them a place among the top students in the state.

As part of the next stage of the competition, our finalists will recite their poems again this Friday, going head-to-head with other schools in the final round to determine this year’s overall winners.

We as a college could not be prouder of their efforts and the way they continue to represent our community with excellence and heart. Their success reflects not only their own commitment, but also the ongoing dedication of our Languages staff in nurturing a deep appreciation for Italian language and culture.

If you see our finalists around campus this week, be sure to wish them luck as they prepare for the big day!

Bravissimi e in bocca al lupo!
