Throughout the day, four workshops will cover the four sections of the VCE examination (General Conversation, Detailed Study, Oral Comprehension & Reading Comprehension) and students will receive personal feedback from their teacher.

Date: Saturday the 20th of March, 9.00am to 7.00pm

Fees: $130, including a “French-style” lunch and a musical show.

Other similar immersion days will be held later in the year (in June and September) with a different focus each time (i.e. oral skills, reading & writing...).
