The 2009 OzCLO Report is available for download.

The Australian team, Ross McGachey (Year 12), Krysia Choros (Year 11) and Sarah
Twomey (Year 9), has just come back from the 7th International Olympiads in
Linguistics, held in Poland.  This year, 23 teams representing 17 countries
participated in the IOL/IOL and, along with Ireland, Great Britain and India, this
was the first time that Australia was represented.  The team did quite well for a
first effort but even more importantly they really enjoyed the competition -- both
individual and team events -- and they had a great time with the students from so
many other countries in the excursions in and around Wroclaw.

See the press release from the IOL/ILO here and a report from two of the Australian representatives, Krysia and Sarah, here.

This year, we are sending an Australian team to the finals of the International Linguistics Olympiads, in Wroclaw, Poland from 26th to 31st July:

Ross McGachey (Immanuel College, SA)

Krysia Choros (St Peters Lutheran College, QLD)

Sarah Twomey (St Peters Lutheran College, QLD)

Coach: Dr Dominique Estival (University of Sydney)

The problem sets and solutions for the first round and national round are available (see attached).
