March is the designated month to celebrate the French language and culture worldwide. The Bower’s French department marked the event with numerous classroom-based and co-curricular activities. Senior Cycle students got creative in Mrs Digby’s 5th Year class by compiling a booklet of their own French poetry.
While 1st Years got the opportunity to enjoy a French themed table quiz on the evening of Thursday, March 7th along with other 1st Year students of French from local schools. The Bower hosted this year’s quiz which is supported by the Midlands French Teachers Association.

It was a really enjoyable evening and well done to all who participated.
