Des nouvelles de la classe Année 12 Français

News from the Year 12 French class

We are very proud of our Year 12 French class!

During these challenging times, they have shown so much resilience and especially a lot of dedication to their French studies.

 

They have been able to participate in both Oral and Written Alliance Française French Exams as part of the National Berthe Mouchette Competition. They braved the new online format and their performance was outstanding!! The oral exams consisted of 2 sections; general conversation and discussion on a topic of their choice. I am so proud to announce that all students in the class scored either “Très bien” or “Excellent” for both sections of the oral exams!! 

 

 

The class also has 4 finalists in the Hors Concours Section, who will now participate in the final round of the competition!

  1. Anatole Dutrieux
  2. Agathe Dutrieux
  3. Sacha Barthelemy
  4. Jayden Lewis

Félicitations à toute la classe!

 

Un grand bravo also to the following students who obtained a full subsidy from DET for the virtual VCE Immersion Day organised by Alliance Française on Sunday 13th September.

  1. Luise Verhoeven
  2. Clea McKeown
  3. Sasha Hudson
  4. James McLoughlin Parsons
  5. Dominique Liu-Hervo
  6. Mahala Ginzburg
  7. Willem Gorissen
  8. Sophia Petropoulos

Well done and Bonne Chance to all!
