EXCELLING IN LANGUAGES || It was a busy weekend for our Languages students the weekend before last! Year 11 student Keira C competed in the Alliance Francaise Interschool Poetry Competition. Keira represented the college in an oral examination. She recited a famous French poem on the theme of resilience and courage, paying tribute to the Olympic games held in Paris this year. She also discussed and analysed the poem in French with native speakers and participated in a general conversation about family, friends and school life in French. An outstanding achievement in VCE Languages!
Meanwhile, the Japanese VCE students participated in a seminar run by the Japanese Teachers' Association of Victoria that will prepare them for their upcoming oral and written examinations.
These students have shown excellence and dedication in their language studies for VCE, pursuing their passion for French and Japanese.
