Outstanding Brevet Results for Auburn High School – Class of 2025 Shines!
We are thrilled to announce exceptional results in this year’s Diplôme National du Brevet (DNB). Our students have truly excelled, making 2025 a record-breaking year for Auburn High School!
91% pass rate (20 out of 22 students) – an outstanding achievement reflecting the dedication, effort, and resilience of our students and teaching team.
86% of students earned a distinction (Mention), and 73% achieved a Mention Bien or Très Bien, placing our results well above the national average.
A new honour was introduced this year: “Félicitations du jury”, awarded to students scoring above 90%. We are incredibly proud to celebrate five students who reached this exceptional level of excellence!
This is the strongest DNB performance in the past nine years, with a record 45.5% of students earning a Mention Très Bien!
These remarkable outcomes reflect not only the hard work of our students but also the unwavering support from families and the commitment of our French Binational team.
Congratulations once again to all our Brevet candidates – we are proud of each and every one of you!
What’s happening in our French classrooms?
Year 8 French: Bandes dessinées
This term, our Year 8 French students worked in groups to create their own comic strips (bandes dessinées). Each group wrote a short story using topics they’ve studied in class this year.
Their stories started with two friends talking at home in the morning before school. On the way to school, they discussed the weather. At school, they talked with friends about their timetable, favourite (and least favourite!) subjects, and teachers.
In the afternoon, since the weather was nice, the characters did something fun outside—like a game, walk or sport.
Students then performed their comic strips out loud in French. It was a great way to practise speaking, be creative and work together. Well done, Year 8!
Year 7 French Binational Science Class
In French Binational Science, our Year 7 students have been exploring the concept of vitesse des objets en mouvement – the speed of moving objects. Their challenge? To measure how fast a toy car travels!
Working in teams, students were asked to follow the full scientific method:
- Formulate a hypothesis
- Design and carry out an experiment
- Measure physical quantities accurately
- Present their results using correct units
- Draw a conclusion and check if their hypothesis was correct
This hands-on investigation allowed students to develop important scientific skills while working collaboratively—all in French! Félicitations à tous!
