The 19th Latin Summer School will take place from Monday 21 to Friday 25 January, 2013

The special guest-lecturer and key-note speaker at the 18th Latin Summer School was Professor Terence Tunberg from the University of Kentucky, a well-known Neo-Latinist and promoter of spoken Latin. There was a near record enrolment. The Latin Summer School held annually in January at the University of Sydney, was founded by the late Professor Kevin Lee and Dr Trevor Evans. It attracts about 200 students of all ages, from 14 up. It consists of daily tutorial sessions on a wide selection of Latin texts (provided) at all levels from beginners to advanced. The tutorials are conducted by experienced teachers from universities and schools in NSW and ACT.

In addition there is a series of lectures (a choice of two or more lectures each day) on a wide variety of topics of classical interest.

There is plenty of opportunity for social inter-action and the week concludes with a barbecue for all.

"Thanks for organising such an enjoyable and inspiring week. It is nice talking to people at the school - of all ages"
