French songs, huge pictures of French monuments and the three colours in many forms warmly welcomed the students to school in a mood of celebration. The students studying French as the second and the third language, of all the classes, participated with a lot of enthusiasm. The programme began with a PowerPoint presentation by the tenth class students.  Shanmuga Priya D. and Agradoot M. explained the depiction of the first storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, all that France is famous for and how the National Day is celebrated in France. The presentation was followed by a depiction of French Revolution.

The two French songs sung by the students of classes of I and II, VII and VIII melodiously attracted the audience. Class IX had another PowerPoint presentation to inform the spectators of all that France is famous for.  ‘Les Repas’ highlighted the French cuisine.

Jacques Prévert, a renowned poet who is very popular in the schools of France, was introduced to the audience briefly, with his pictures shown on the screen.

The special programme ended with the Indian National Anthem followed by ‘La Marseillaise’. Principal Mr. C. Srikanth had a word of appreciation for the participants and the three French teachers of the school- Ms. G. Savithri Devi, Ms. C. Lakshmi and Ms. Sri Vani.
