Welcome back to Term 3! I hope you all had a relaxing holiday and are ready for a busy term.

French National Assessment – mid-year point for Year 1

Our Year 1 (CP) students will be undertaking the mid-year point French National Assessments in the next couple of weeks.

This assessment, which is completed in all French schools, provides teachers with information about students’ progress enabling them to define new learning goals accordingly.

Results will be shared with families later in the term.

Enrolment offers Prep 2026

Expressions of interest registered on the waitlist will be reviewed and considered in the first two weeks of this term with the first round of letters of offer being sent before the end of Week 3.

If you registered your interest on the 2026 French Bilingual Prep Waitlist, please remember to check your junk mail during that time as it has been reported in the past that some emails can end up in the junk mail section of people’s inboxes.

French Bilingual Puppet Show

We look forward to hosting the Carrousel Theatre Company’s French Bilingual Puppet Show ‘Le livre de la jungle’ on Tuesday 29 July for our Prep to Year 3 FBP students. Please ensure that you have provided consent for your child/ren to attend via QParents if you have not already done so.

Alliance Francaise 2025 Poetry Competition

We have just been informed that Alliance Francaise’s Poetry Competition is back in 2025 with new poems!

We will be registering our school’s interest in participating this year again and I will be able to share more information about the contest in the next few weeks.

We are looking forward to participating in this great event, which was enjoyed by all contestants in 2024. 

Last term our Year 5 and 6 students learnt about important figures of the Third Republic.
