Primary School Workshops

We understand the demands of the Australian curriculum for French and for other subjects. Therefore, our activities are designed to align with the South Australian Curriculum for Public Education, providing teachers with ready-to-use resources. Additionally, these activities overlap with other subjects, enabling us to address various competencies, and merge classes and curriculum requirements where possible.

The Alliance Française d'Adélaïde is dedicated to providing top-notch workshops that will enable students to immerse themselves in the French language, culture, and intercultural exchange.
