The First CIE Chinese Writing Contest for School Students

On November 26th, the First CIE Chinese Writing Contest was held at Edmonton Public Schools. 613 students from 14 schools participated in the contest. They are currently enrolled in Chinese bilingual program or Chinese language and culture program.

The purpose of the CIE Chinese Writing Contest is to support the schools by encouraging the students to write in Chinese and improve their writing skills. The contest is similar to the HLATs (Highest Level of Achievement Tests) as all the students have the same writing topic regardless of grades. The difference is that the Chinese writing contest is completely voluntary.

There are five categories: elementary grade 4-6 students in Chinese bilingual program, junior high students in Chinese bilingual program, junior high students in Chinese language and culture program, senior high students in Chinese bilingual program, and senior high students in Chinese language and culture program.

The winners will be announced in January, 2020.
