French is taught from Reception to Year 6. The program is based on the rationale that students are active participants in the language learning process. Students will use gestures and repetition to internalise high frequency vocabulary.

Students are encouraged to use French whenever possible, with the teacher providing and supporting the use of the language. Lessons include a balance between teacher-led instruction and a wide variety of language activities.

The French program is enhanced by use of digital technologies including iPads and computers in the classroom for language activities.
