In the first week of June, four Newington IB French boys had the chance to visit a French international school to attend a full day’s classes in French. The Lycée Condorçet, a school exclusively for fluent French speakers, is situated in Maroubra, teaching the French education system and the IB.

The exchange allowed us to participate in the French schooling system and a mini mock-up presidential election. It was a superb learning curve helping us understand some of the differences and similarities in our respective education.

The day will aid us greatly as we undertake the final exams and all thanks must go to the Languages Department for organising such a wonderful day for us.
