"If you don't speak French, you're stuffed"

Another language opens up new avenues, provides new opportunities, and breaks down barriers.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. • Jean-Paul Sartre, French philosopher (1905-1980)

Sad today as we bade farewell to @FoyleCollege students earlier than we had wished. Esp. Yr14, whom we hope can experience some Francophonie soon.
Until then, please follow current advice and be considerate of others.

Our choices today will be our consequences in two weeks time.

Congratulations to Jacob, Sam, Josie, and Shea, who cleaned up in the Year 9 French Nandos-takeaway homework challenges. There may not be an actual free Nandos for you but, hopefully, the chocolate will make up for it. Fantastic effort!

New challenge coming soon.

@FoyleCollege Year 10 Barcelona Trip have had a great first full day in the city. We visited Gaudi's Park Güell, explored the maze that is the Barri Gòtic, and marvelled at la Sagrada Familia. Tomorrow brings the Science Museum and the famous Las Ramblas. #languagelearning

I may have swooned when Mr Mercer delivered it...at the flag, not him. Sorry,Mr Mercer
