French Online Exchange with Mount Litera International School

Our Grade 11 French B SL students had the opportunity to exchange with the French B SL class from Mount Litera School International.
Students analysed a documentary series they watched on the topic of Migrations in France and discovered the different aspects and layers to this major issue. They compared the situations in India and in France and whilst sharing opinions and different perspectives, they tried to come up with their own solutions to this major global issue.

Students’ reflections:

Cet échange était révélateur et j’ai trouvé une nouvelle perspective. La discussion avec une autre école encourage les nouvelles idées et améliore également notre communication enfrançais.J’ai appris de nouvelles choses sur les migrations en Inde et en France.

Ces échanges, c’est comme quand il est essentiel qu' un étudiant de musique aille sur la scène pour développer la confiance et l'expérience, et pour avoir une chance de se préparer pour un concert.

J'ai apprécié l'échange parce que je sais comment les gens communiqueraient réellement en tant qu'étrangers en français et cela m'a aidé avec la langue.

Oui, nous devrions faire plus d'échanges parce que c'était très amusant et un bon changement des cours normales. C'est aussi une bonne opportunité de rencontrer des nouveaux étudiants français!

Je me suis rendu compte de mes progrès dans la langue française parce que j’ai pu avoir des discussions en profondeur en français.

Tribes for Good: Community Project

Through our partnership with Tribes For Good, Grade 11 student Vipanshi Agarwal designed and led a series of workshops for women with skills in beauty and makeup — combining financial literacy, confidence-building, and awareness of cruelty-free practices. What she found was that the skills were already there. What was missing was someone connecting those skills to the idea of income. This is her reflection on what it means to create impact, and what she learned when she stopped trying to teach and started listening.

Zine, Cosmetics of Capitalism – A passion project

Cosmetics of Capitalism began with two things that had always run parallel in Vipanshi’s life: a deep commitment to animal welfare and a growing curiosity about the economic systems that allow cruelty to persist. In this zine, Vipanshi Agarwal investigates the ethical and economic costs of animal testing in the cosmetics industry — an issue she argues is as much a business question as a moral one.
