uona fortuna per il futuro! I wish to congratulate the Year 12 students on five years of great dedication, co-operation and loyalty to the Italian department.They were a great group to work with right to the very end. I thank them for their enthusiasm and their ability Mr Jean-Marc Rousset to make every single lesson Italian an absolute pleasure.We were able to mix seriousness with humour and thus create un’atmosfera perfetta per lo studio!!! Grazie tante and best of luck for the future.
The Year 8 course concluded with a “visit” by the Befana who dropped a Panettone cake in our stocking, to the delight of eighteen hungry students! Buon Natale! Mr Jean-Marc Rousset Italian
The Year 11’s were guinea pigs as we experimented with new textbooks, the Facciamo Italiano textbooks being discontinued.The Pronti Via course was a success and the same textbook is to be retained in Year 12. It is a very modern course which fits in well with the syllabus. The highlight of the Year 10 course was the dinner held at The Blue Water Grill in Applecross .Our guests were the students from All Saints College and their teacher Signora Marlisa Gangemi and the College Chaplain. The main reason for the occasion was for Signora Gangemi to address the students about the annual trip to Italy which is held in April. I would like to sincerely thank our host, Chris Taylor, and his staff who made the evening a memorable event. Also thanks to Signora Gangemi for kindly inviting our students to participate in the Italian trip. Il Pranzo a Siena’s! In Term Three the Year 9’s were treated for lunch at Siena’s Ristorante. I would like to thank our hosts John and Lisa Calabro for a Pranzo Molto Delizioso!!!!!!!
il Mio Viaggio in Italia Last year I went on a holiday to the North regions of Italy. The region is called Lombardia. In this region I went to a small town called Stazzona in the mountains, only fifteen minutes from Switzerland. Stefano Fiorina
