2018 LHS Tour of France
Information Evening
Tuesday 27 June
7 pm
Plans are underway for the 2018 Sister School Exchange with Lycée Darchicourt in Henin-Beaumont, France for students of French, History and Art who will be in Years 10 to 12 in 2018.
The students from Lycée Darchicourt are planning to arrive in Melbourne in early February (dates to be confirmed), and will be hosted by Lilydale High School students for three weeks.
There will be the opportunity for students who are unable to participate in the return visit to France to host the French students while they are in Australia.
At this stage, we are planning to travel to France in March/April 2018 for approximately three weeks. The dates are yet to be finalised, however we are hopeful of a departure close to the end of March 2018, during the last week of term.
The study tour will be booked through Travel Managers who will organise flights, and accommodation in Paris before we head to Hénin-Beaumont for the homestay portion of our tour, and then our homeward departure from Paris.
A meeting will be held on TUESDAY 27 JUNE at 7.00 pm in Room 27 at Lilydale High School attended by a representative of Travel Managers.
If you are unable to attend the meeting, please contact Sharon Stoyanoff by Thursday 29 June, if your child is interested in either going on the tour to France and/or hosting a French student.
Celebes Global School Makassar -Indonesia
There are still one or two opportunities for hosting the Indonesian students from Celebes Global School during their two week visit to Lilydale.
There are also younger students coming from a Junior High school, so the age range of the students is 12 – 17 years.
This is a great opportunity for your son or daughter to get to know a student from another country and to learn something about their culture. Hosting opportunities are not limited to students who are studying Indonesian.
Please contact Sharon Stoyanoff for more information.
Year 7, 8 and 9 French Curriculum Update
This semester is fast coming to an end and the Year 7 and 8 classes are looking forward to spending the last week watching a French movie.
The Year 9s are working on a mini project about the new regions of France. This mini project will be presented to the class in the last week of school.
This semester in French, students have been studying a range of topics;
Year 7s have covered things such as greetings, introductions, counting and pets. They have learned to describe themselves, others and some animals.
Year 8s have learned how to talk about houses and the school day, including telling the time.
Year 9s have learned about the weather, clothing and holiday activities.
Counting is a very important aspect of any language; we use numbers every day. Below please find some links to help your child(ren) revise and practise counting in French.
