What’s happening in our French classrooms? 

 

Students in Year 7, 8, 9, 10 have started preparing for our first edition of the AHS French Conversation Competition! This competition will enable students to showcase their speaking skills and win great prizes! The competition will run during weeks 5 and 6 this term. Bonne chance à tous! 

 

 

French Binational Program 

 

In French Literature, as part of their unit of work on lyric poetry, 8FBN students were given the task to create an illustrated anthology of poems from 6 different authors in relation to lyric themes such as love, nature, time, état d’âme, etc. They had to justify their choice of poems and be prepared for their expressive reading of one poem. Below is an example of the poem Pour toujours by François Coppée. Well done to all students who were very creative in their work! 

 

 

 

 

AEFE Conference 

 

The conference for the AEFE French directors within the Asia-Pacific zone was held in Kuala Lumpur on 2-3 October. As part of the AEFE network, Geneviève Papon, our French Binational Coordinator, attended this event. This was a fantastic opportunity to exchange with 56 colleagues from the Asia-Pacific zone and strengthen collaboration with other AEFE schools.
