✨ The AFTV 2024 AGM was another fantastic evening, celebrating the achievements and tireless efforts of our dedicated committee members. Together, we continue to promote the teaching and learning of French in Victoria, offering dynamic, innovative projects and professional learning sessions to support French teachers.
🌟 This year, we had the privilege of hosting the event at the magnificent Immigration Museum, featuring a private viewing of the Notre-Dame: The Augmented Exhibition. Open until 27 April, this immersive experience is a perfect excursion opportunity for students to explore the cathedral's extraordinary history—its 12th-century origins, its illustrious 850-year legacy, and the restoration following the devastating fire. (See more information below.)
Members can apply for an AFTV subsidy to fund this excursion.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this inspiring evening! 💙🤍❤️
