THE MFL DEPARTMENT

---

On 26 September, our school came alive with the sounds, flavours, and excitement of the European Day of Languages. This annual celebration, recognised across Europe, is dedicated to promoting linguistic diversity and encouraging the learning of different languages.

To mark this special day, the MFL department organised a variety of engaging activities for students and staff alike. The festivities started in the morning with an interactive Kahoot competition. The tutor groups competed in a fun and educational quiz that tested their knowledge of languages and cultures around the world. You can take part in the quiz by clicking on the image above.

At lunchtime, the celebration continued as the school catering team treated everyone to a culinary journey through the languages taught at our school—Spanish, French, and Mandarin. The delicious dishes offered a tasty way to experience the richness of these cultures.

Competition Time

The Global School Alliance has launched a competition called ‘The Power of Learning a Language’ and are asking students to describe how languages have the power to bring people together, how learning a language empowers them and how languages will open doors for them in the future. The MFL Department is encouraging all students to take part. The deadline to enter the competition is Tuesday 1 October. If you want more information, you can find it here. We will compete nationally but we will also have prizes for best entries for French, Spanish, Mandarin and Japanese as a school.
