Renmark High School has once again competed in the annual Australian Computational and Linguistics Competition. We entered 6 teams of students from years 8 to 11, a total of 27 students.

Languages students needed to decode with in 2024 included;

• The Yurakaré language of Bolivia
• The Sogdian language, once spoken in the ancient Iranian civilisation
• The Ewe language, spoken in Ghan, Togo and Benin.
• Coptic language, last descendent of Ancient Egyptian
• Tariana, an endangered language spoken in the Vaupés river area in Brazil with 100 speakers remaining.

An intense afternoon of competing, students worked superbly in their teams, decoding and translating words and phrases, then uploading them onto the online platform for the two-hour duration of the competition.
