The student with the most points won two free tickets to the Japan Festival on 24th May at Box Hill Town Hall. Over 100,000 questions were answered in total! The winner was Angelle Montederamos of Year 12 with an impressive score of 2,512.
Notably, the following students also completed over 1,000 questions each: Dhiren Chavan (7A), Tengyi Bian (8B), Dane Stamer (7E) and Lyan Yau (Year 10).
Angelle’s impressions: “The festival was fun. It was not as crowded as past years. The food was amazing, I really liked the takoyaki. We got so immersed that we forgot to take pictures.”

Year 7 CNED Study Moliere
Students in the year 7 French 1st Language class are studying Les Fourberies de Scapin a play by Moliere and they are loving it!
En classe, on lit le livre Les Fourberies de Scapin, écrit par Molière. Ce livre est très rigolo et on s’est beaucoup amusé en regardant la pièce de théâtre qui est jouée par des acteurs très doués. On s’est aussi amusé en recréant les scènes du livre en y ajoutant quelques-uns de nos petits mots et actions.
Emma Woodger, 7B
On est en train d’apprendre les Fourberies de Scapin, un livre de Molière, un écrivain de théâtre français très connu. Ce livre raconte une histoire dans laquelle des problèmes arrivent à des jeunes gens et leurs valets inventent des fourberies pour les aider. Ils inventent des histoires incroyables pour obtenir de l’argent et aider leurs jeunes maîtres. C’est vraiment très drôle et j’aime bien étudier cette pièce en classe.
