In 2023, the Barbreck French Program was a place of creativity and excitement, with students from Prep to Year 6 enjoying speaking, reading, listening, and writing in French.  

From Week 1, Term 1 students became part of the classroom routines, conversations, theatre, cultural events, and online competitions which comprised the essence of the AIM French Program.   

Many students new to French involved themselves passionately in the weekly foundation French group, Early Birds French. Each Monday morning a large group of students came to experience core French language via fun games and activities, with French cultural activities also celebrated at Barbreck via French crêpe-making, music, and dancing.   

French home learning continued in 2023 via the exciting DuolAugust challenge, with the month of August being dedicated to learning French at home via the Duolingo App. Participating students enjoyed seeing their names on the weekly DuolAugust leaderboard, and enjoying the many fun French modules and stories available on the App.   

In 2023 all Year levels performed their studied French plays to their families and classmates, with many students memorising lines and embedding vocabulary through acting and performance.
