Glen Eira College French Program on International French TV Channel TV5 Monde

Glen Eira College featured on the French program “Destination Francophonie” which showcases French Language Teaching and Learning around the world. Every week, a city around the world is introduced and the journalist, Ivan Kabacoff, does a wonderful job showing how the French language is present in those cities. We were very honoured to be on “Destination Melbourne”-  We are very proud of students in 8C French Immersion, students in Year 8A/B in the French 1st language program and Luisa David, Year 10 and Estelle Lipovetsky, Year 11 who participated in the program.

And you can also watch a bonus video on this link http://www.tv5monde.com/emissions/episode/destination-francophonie-destination-melbourne where you can see four past students of GEC who speak proudly of how learning a language has benefited them. It is very heart warming to see our past students talk about their school with so much pride. Thank you to Berenice Mickelburough, Greta Sandow, Alice Hornby and Phoebe Foldvari (Year 12 currently) who have taken the time to participate in this experience.
