Since 2016, students at the Centre for Hellenic Studies, W.A. have been participating in the AUSIT's WA annual Greek translation competition, successfully.

We are very pleased to announce that in 2021. there were 11 entries  7 in the junior and 4 in the senior category. In this competition, students were asked to translate a text from Greek into their mother tongue and more specifically  they were able το convey their  linguistic competency  by transferring their comprehension skills  from one language into another. 

On behalf of the Centre for Hellenic Studies, we would like to extend our congratulations to all our participants   for their outstanding written translation results  in the most recent competition. Bravo, to all our "metafrastes"!

Here is the list of our winners:

Junior Category: 2021 Winner of the  Young Translator's Award: ALEXANDROS TSITIRIDIS

Second Award: KONSTANTINOS SMYRNIOTIS

Outstanding Merit Awards: VIRGINIA ROUKOUNAKIS and THEODOROS SMYRNIOTIS

Senior Category: 2021 Equal Winners of the Young Translator's Award:   VASILIS  KERR and  LUKAS CRISTOPOULOS

The young "metafrastes" were privileged to  attend the AUSIT  ceremony  where each one was awarded with a translation certificate by the Chair of WA AUSIT, held at the University of Western Australia.. In  fact, during the ceremony, all  our "metafrastes" were  actively involved  by representing their school with the song, 'ENA TO CHELIDONI" in honour to Mikis Theodorakis  which was very well received by the audience.

Και πάλι τα θερμά μας συγχαρητήρια σε όλους τους επιτυχόντες διαγωνιζόμενους  μεταφραστές  του κέντρου ελληνικών σπουδών για την άψογη απόδοση μετάφρασης  άγνωστου κειμένου από την δεύτερη στην μητρική τους γλώσσα  στον πιο πρόσφατο διαγωνισμό μετάφρασης  του Αυστραλιανού Ινστιτούτου Διερμηνέων και Μεταφραστών της  Δυτικής Αυστραλίας.

Η εκπαιδευτικός,
