Language - French

St Patrick's offers the study of French language and cultre to our students.  French is a major language spoken across five continents, and the official language in 29 countries.  It is also one of six official languages of the United Nations.  The French language also aligns St Patrick's with one of the languages taught at Assumption College.

Students interact with the teacher and their peers using simple language and gestures for exchanges such as greetings, farewells, and for talking about self and family.  They participate in group activities through song, rhyme, games and transactions.  Students also have the opportunity to participate in the state-wide Alliance Française French Poetry competition.  They develop a curiosity for French culture and traditions, and compare cultural differences. 

​

The study of a second language contributes to the overall education of students, enhancing communication, cross-cultural understanding, cognitive development, literacy (in both English and French) and general knowledge.
