Bonjour tout le monde and a Happy New Year to everyone.

Just a reminder that our Term 1 for 2010 starts today Monday 25th Jan for all our returning and new students.

We are back from our travels in France, Italy and Morocco with plenty of fabulous travel tales to tell. We had a combined our trip with family and work and spent some time in Morocco meeting with our basket makers and seeing new styles and models. We also survived Paris in –4 days as well. Of course both Rome and Paris were so pretty during the festive season and well worth a visit just for that.

All adult classes begin today Monday 25th January. With the exception of the Tuesday Foundation 1 classes which begin Tuesday 2nd Feb.

All our children’s classes start the week 1st Feb.

frenchclass thanks all our students and friends who came to celebrate Bastille Day on the 14 July.
We had a great afternoon nibbling on French cheeses and other gourmet delicacies with a glass or two of wine. We played many games of petanque - this was enjoyed by all especially the children that came for the fun!! Many thanks to Gary Hosie who came with plenty of boules and shared with everyone the right way to play.
