SACS

The French matrics of 2020 did their final oral moderation via Google meet and then wrote the first of their trials papers on Tuesday. The writing paper consists of 6 written pieces and is gruelling at the best of times. The 10 young men who have persisted with learning French over the past 5 years have proved to be truly outstanding individuals this year. It has been a huge challenge to study a third language on online, (via whatsapp chat at first and then google meet) but they have given of their best at all times and made us so proud.
Discussing social issues such as racism, abuse, human rights and the refugee crisis in French is no small feat. Due to the fact that their written work is really exceptional, I would like to share it and so we have created a blog.
