Year 9 French Binational Students Create Powerful Mannequin Challenge
Our Year 9 French Binational students have created an outstanding mannequin challenge video addressing addiction to screens. Working in French during the planning phase, students demonstrated excellent collaboration while tackling this important contemporary issue with remarkable maturity and creativity.
The final product showcases sophisticated artistic vision, perfectly exemplifying our program’s commitment to developing engaged global citizens. We’re incredibly proud of their dedication and willingness to explore meaningful topics through creative expression. Please note: The video contains mature themes that some viewers may find intense.
A Visit to Collège Herrade de Landsberg 🇫🇷
During her recent trip to France, Miss Beck visited Collège Herrade de Landsberg, a school located in Rosheim, a charming town just 30 minutes from Strasbourg, in the northeast of France. This is where our Year 8 French Immersion students’ penpals are based.
The visit was part of an ongoing partnership between Auburn High School and Collège Herrade de Landsberg, a connection that began last year thanks to Mr Brochet, our former Year 8 French Immersion teacher. He first established contact with Mrs Régine Lauber, the organiser of the school’s Australian Club, and since then, students from both schools have exchanged letters and shared their cultures
.
This year, Miss Beck continued nurturing the relationship. During her visit, she had the chance to meet with the assistant principal, English teachers, and of course, the penpal teacher and students. Auburn students had prepared videos introducing our school and its different spaces, which were shared with great enthusiasm in France.
The French students present were thrilled to receive new letters and small gifts from Australia, and their warm welcome was matched by genuine curiosity about Australia, Auburn High School, and the connection between the two schools.
This growing partnership continues to inspire and connect students across the globe promoting language learning, cultural exchange, and international friendship.
