Recently, our Year 10, 11, and 12 French students attended the French Film Festival. Below is a recount of the day from Year 10 student Ramon Abbey-Sobh N03.

The French Film Festival excursion was such an amazing experience! The Year 10, 11, and 12 French classes were able to take a break from their studies to watch the film Jean Valjean, which is based on Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables. It was a wonderful way to help us gain a better understanding of what we have learned in our classes. After that, we all split into groups and went to different French cafés around the CBD. My group went to Le Petit Château, and we ate crêpes and macarons. After lunch, we all took part in an Amazing Race-style activity in our groups, where we had to complete tasks and learn how to work together. Some of the places we visited included a bookstore to find French books and several French restaurants to discover different dishes. Overall, we all had the best time, and I can already guarantee that when the next excursion comes around, I will be 100% saying yes to it.
