AFTV Concours Lycéens 2018

The 3rd AFTV Concours Lycéens took place on Sunday 27 May. Around 100 VCE and IB French students participated in this highly valued competition. Students performed a speaking task with experienced assessors in front of a small audience of students and parents. The AFTV Student activity sub-committee would like to thank all teachers who enrolled their students and attended this event, all volunteer assessors for their professionalism and enthusiasm, and our host school for making this event possible once again.

Below is what one student wanted to share about the 2018 Concours Lycéens:

“I had the amazing opportunity to take part as a year 11 student and would highly recommend any VCE French students to attend when it is held again in the coming year. As a Year 11 student, the idea of speaking in French in front of an audience of Year 11 and 12 students and their teachers was very daunting however I decided to push my fears aside in order to gain valuable experience in speaking and maintaining a conversation in French as well as to listen to Year 12 students and gain an understanding of the level they are at and what will be expected in Units 3 and 4. Despite being nervous, immediately after starting to speak I became confident as my assessor was lovely and supportive, all students made each other feel very comfortable as the competition was a very welcoming and encouraging environment. Following the competition, I received great feedback that will be valuable for my speaking skills throughout my French studies. I would definitely attend the Concours Lycéens in Year 12 and would very strongly encourage any VCE French students to do so as well.”

Félicitations à tous les finalistes du Concours Lycéens qui nous ont impressionnés le dimanche 15 juillet sur la scène du Bastille Day Festival.

Les sujets de conversation et de jeu de rôle étaient vraiment variés et bien choisis. Bravo à tous les professeurs pour leurs efforts et leurs encouragements, nous étions vraiment fiers des élèves. Lors de la remise des prix, Madame la Consule Honoraire de France, Mme Myrian Boisbouvier-Wylie, a d’ailleurs rappellé aux gagnants du Concours qu’ils étaient les ambassadeurs de la langue française et qu’elle soutenait grandement le travail des professeurs de français dans le Victoria.

L’AFTV continue à maintenir un fort partenariat avec le consulat de France à Melbourne à travers en outre sa participation au Bastille Day Festival. Un grand merci au sous-comité 'AFTV Student activities' pour la mise en place et l’organisation de cet évènement.
