Beautiful Performances
A language cannot limit an emotion and that there is no specific language to say something that comes from the heart. The French assembly which was held on Wednesday 27 November 2016 confirmed that.The event celebrated the French language and culture which took place in the Junior Hall was magic, rich and incredible. Feedback from the parents used words, such as“ magic” “incredible” ” rich” “ professional performances” and that some were on tears when they heard the songs “ Je suis malade” and “ Mon amie la rose”.
