Fifth and sixth class pupils at Tiernaboul National School marked the end of their 10-week French language module with a special celebration last Wednesday.

Principal Maria Breen, teacher Karol Fleming, and Hélène Olivier-Courtney from French For All Killarney School of French joined the students in the celebration.
The students and teachers brought in a delicious spread of French food, including savoury tapenade and cheese, alongside viennoiseries like croissants and pains au chocolat.
Many also dressed up in French style for the occasion, with outfits ranging from fashionistas to well-known footballers and painters.
Hélène Olivier-Courtney thanked the supportive principal, teachers, and SNAs for their role in the success of the language module.
French For All is a national initiative, which began in 2021 with a six-week module and has now been extended to 10 weeks for fifth and sixth class pupils students, aims to introduce children to the French language and culture in a proactive and inclusive way.
