SIXTH FORM INTERNATIONAL QUIZ On Wednesday 20 March, the eighth Sixth Form International Quiz took place, with 40 students and members of staff taking part in a French-themed evening. After a delicious meal of: French pate; ‘poulet provençal et tomates farcies’; cheeses and lemon tart, students took part in six competitive rounds of quizzes. All of the students enjoyed a French linguistic game to start the evening, with all eager to show off their knowledge of French. Mr Kohout’s table won the competition, with impressive answers on the French author Jules Verne. The evening was concluded with a round of French karaoke!
