Every year, the Federation des Alliances Francaises de Nouvelle-Zelande Incorporated organises a National French Speaking Competition for secondary school students called the "Concours Oral".
The Alliance Française Palmerston North participates in the Concours Oral.
The “Concours Oral” is open to all year 10 to 13 school pupils studying French.
Year 12 and 13 students go through a selection process regionally (organised by the local Alliance) in order to participate in the national oral contest.
Every year, two trips to New Caledonia reward one Year 13 student and one Year 12 student.
Our deepest gratitude goes to Aircalin for sponsoring the international flights. Thank you also to our sponsors ImmerseMe and the Government of New Caledonia, and to our partners the French Embassy and Tui Tuia.
