Workshops for VCE French students

The French Studies program offers a range of workshops designed for VCE students of French in Years 11 and 12 and also French IB.

We run a series of workshops throughout the year, exploring a range of required skills and issues. 

The courses focus on all aspects of grammar, oral, listening and writing skills. In the second semester many courses address cultural or social issues selected by schools as a topic for the detailed study. 

During the September break, oral preparation workshops are held and there are 2 special end of year exam preparation workshops in the week prior to the final French exam.

These courses are designed by colleagues who have experience teaching at VCE level in the secondary sector as well as at Monash.

Monash VCE Workshop Participants Achieve Outstanding Results

70 % of the students who attended the workshops in 2006 obtained 40 or above as their raw score (translated to a perfect score of 50).

30% of all students in Victoria who obtained a 40 and above raw score in French had attended the Monash French VCE Workshops.

Half of the students in Victoria who obtained a raw score of 50 in French had attended the Monash French VCE Workshops.

Congratulations to everyone!
