The celebration commenced on a melodious note with a heartfelt rendition of a French song by the students, followed by lively French rhymes such as Frère Jacques and Monsieur le temps, which created a joyful and immersive atmosphere. Miss Diane and the Principal Ms. Preeta Pillai were ceremoniously honoured with elegant French-themed sashes and crowns, symbolizing the spirit of unity and appreciation for cultural diversity.
In her address, Miss Diane delivered an inspiring speech highlighting the transformative power of learning new languages. Her words deeply resonated with the audience, and her spontaneous participation in teaching a few lively dance moves added a delightful energy to the event.
