French cooking
In line with the Term 3 topic food, Year 10 French students worked on a recipe from a French-speaking country. They researched and wrote recipes and instructions in French from Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, Madagascar, Haiti and Monaco. They then prepared the dish at home and brought it to class for tasting. We were lucky to have the presence of the Head of Languages Mrs Burkett, the Dean of Curriculum Mrs Eyre and the Dean of Administration Mr Downsborough to sample the French food from around the world!
C’était délicieux! Miam, miam!

Etienne Concert
Our Years 7 to 12 French students enjoyed a wonderful concert by a famous Canadian artist called ‘Etienne’ on Wednesday 7 August. Students listened and danced to the awesome songs and even practiced some of their French phrases as they sang! A wonderful morning was had by all.

Year 6 Hyogo Excursion
A group of our Year 6 students were selected to attend the excursion to the Hyogo Cultural Centre in Week 8. Students practised their Japanese as they participated in role plays and other activities. They also learned how to do some Japanese calligraphy and make a special Japanese origami crane. Students also enjoyed a delicious Japanese ‘obento’ for lunch, and enjoyed the beautiful Japanese garden. We would like to thank everyone at Hyogo Cultural Centre for such a wonderful day.
