DELF Scolaire Examinations 2017
At the end of August, six of our students joined students from Napier and Wanganui to sit the French DELF Scolaire examinations. This is an internationally recognised and accredited four-levelled qualification which tests listening, reading, speaking and writing. This gives our students an extension to NCEA and gives them a qualification which could enable them to study in a French university.
Eliott Motion gained the A1, the first level of the qualification, with 84.5% and Jordon Long-Lay achieved 72.5%. Results in the A2 examination were similar, with Nikhil Banerjee achieving 76.5%. This year we had three students in the B1 category: Michael Poff gained 74.5%, Alistair Keay-Graham 71.5% and Aidan Berkahn 67.5%. These students are to be congratulated on their success. Official certificates will arrive from France in due course.

Alistair Keay-Graham went forward to the National Concours Oral for Year 12 on Saturday 9 September and won first place. The prize is a two-week trip to New Caledonia in December, thanks to sponsors Aircalin and Education Perfect. Alistair will certainly enjoy the experience of two weeks in a French-speaking, tropical environment, a well-deserved reward.
