Year 10 French

Under special circumstances, students may be permitted by the Head of Department to study this subject for a single semester rather than a full year.

Current links between Australia and the French-speaking world are strong; they include bilateral relationships in trade and investment, educational exchanges, research and development in science and technology, humanitarian and environmental initiatives and communications, strategic and defence priorities. France is a leading destination for Australian travellers and a partner in work-exchange opportunities in hospitality, tourism and international relations. Learning French provides the opportunity for students to engage with the linguistic and cultural diversity of the world and its peoples, to reflect on their understanding of experience in various aspects of social life and on their own participation and ways of being in the world.
