Miranda Moloney being awarded First Prize in the Year 10 Alliance Française Berthe Mouchette competition at the Awards Ceremony at St Kilda Town Hall.

This year I participated in the Berthe Mouchette competition (poetry reading and Year 10 Written paper). Basically, you choose a French poem, out of the given options, and then you go to the Alliance Française building to recite the poem. It was a good experience. Miranda and I recited our poems in a room in front of one judge (and no audience), and afterwards had a pain au chocolat and hot chocolate. I definitely recommend participating, as it's a good way to practice your French in a not too stressful situation, you miss school, and get some nice food! 😊. The Year 10 Written paper was conducted at our school with the finalists going on to write an essay at the Alliance Française in St Kilda.‘
