Des Cahill studied Latin for five years at school and maintained an interest in the language through a lifetime connection with choral singing. Des went back to studying Latin in 1993 at CCE. In 1999, he enrolled as an Arts student at Sydney University. He completed two years of Greek in the course of his degree and graduated in 2003 with majors in Ancient History and Latin. Prior to this, in 2001, he was offered and accepted a position as presenter in Latin at CCE. Des continued his studies and in 2006, graduated with an MA in Latin. This was the very last MA awarded in Latin by Sydney University, which now covers the subject in a blanket course called Ancient World Studies. Following the “Oxford Latin Course”, Des has seen many of his students advance from beginners to advanced level. Several of his former students still meet regularly, improving their knowledge of the classics for their own pleasure.
