Crepes for Change Visit

On Wednesday 14th August, Crepes for Change, a non-profit organisation came to our school. The crepe truck had lovely treats for everyone. Soon enough, everyone was lining up for a taste of French crepe.  And it was all for a good cause: ending youth homelessness.

French Revolution – Year 12 History students and Year 8 French 1st language students team up together!

On the last day of term 2, Year 8 French 1st language students had a combined lesson with the Year 12 History class. Both classes have been studying the French Revolution during the term. The Year 8s have been studying the French Revolution in History (following the French curriculum) and shared some of their content knowledge with the Year 12s. The Year 8s made posters with information on important people of the Revolution and the Year 12s had to guess their identity by answering some questions and they also had a vocabulary quiz. The Year 12s thought it was very “cute” to have the Year 8s in their class. The lesson ended with the Year 8s guiding the Year 12s to sing “La Marseillaise”!
