Sayembara Lisan - an Indonesian language competition - is an annual event held by VILTA (Victorian Indonesian Language Teacher Association) in which Year 1-11 students from all over Victoria can meet and compete.

This year, the first round of the competition was held in May and hosted by eight different schools across Victoria. If students passed the this round, they were granted entry to the final round held on July 27 at Melbourne High School.

Loyola College sent 35 students varying from Year 7 to Year 11. So far, this is the highest number of students participating in this competition in our school's history. Out of the 35 students, 25 students moved into the final round - once again, this was the highest number of students from Loyola College to ever progress to this stage of the competition!
