Bon appétit! All the French
students had the opportunity
to have a “Taste of France”
this year. Firstly, the crêpe van
visited OLMC to celebrate
Bastille Day, making a
selection of delicious crêpes
before our ordered
in French, while listening to
French music. Formidable!
Year 8 students feasted on
croissants, pains au chocolat, baguettes and French
cheese. The Brie was a particular favourite. Some
students even tried some cornichons.Très bien!
The elective students were very lucky when Bistro
32 in Caringbah opened the restaurant just for them.
They were treated to an “amuse-bouche” on arrival
and sat down to an authentic French meal. Délicieux!
The highpoint of the year for twenty one elective
students was the trip to New Caledonia. We were
blessed with excellent weather and we made the
most of our time by trying out our French whenever
we could. We loved our visit to Collège de Tuband.
The students interacted with each other, exchanging
information about life in Sydney and finding out about
life in New Caledonia. Another highlight was the day
trip to PhareAmedée - swimming, snorkelling, a buffet
lunch and dancing. Merveilleux!
2015 presented many opportunities for fun and
genuinely authentic learning in French language and
culture, We are certain that these experiences will
be an integral part of the development of global
citizenship for our students.
