Last week The Age published an article about Fitzroy Primary School and the introduction of the French Bi-Lingual Program.

'The school has progressively stepped up its bilingual program to 10 hours a week of literacy and numeracy classes in French and 11 hours of instruction in English.

The French teacher workforce has grown from one to six, and with them has come an influx of French-speaking families: 25 at the latest count, including 13 children in prep this year.'
