Course summary

French: Lower Sixth will study aspects of French society: current trends (family, cyber-society, voluntary work) and artistic culture in the French-speaking world (music, cinema and culture). Upper Sixth also study current issues (diverse society, marginalisation, criminals) and political life (teenagers and the right to vote, demonstrations and strikes, politics and immigration).
