Alliance Française de Melbourne – Berthe Mouchette Competition

On Wednesday evening, November 15, I had the pleasure of attending the Alliance Française awards ceremony for the Berthe Mouchette Competition at the St. Kilda Town Hall. French students from a large variety of public and private schools, aged from 8 – 18 years old, gathered to celebrate their achievements at the highest level.

While all senior school students are commended for their participation in the competition, we were excited to hear that two students from Nossal High School had succeeded through to the finals. Cree Oliviera-Blacket (Year 12) participated in the final written examination and Nikhil Surapaneni (Year 11 studying Unit 3/ 4 French) participated in the oral exam.

Nikhil is to be further congratulated for his successful achievement of a special award, “Mention spéciale du jury” from the Director of the Alliance Française de Melbourne. Congratulations – Félicitations Nikhil!
