The Alliance Française de Sydney was honoured to participate in the Prix National du Civisme pour la Jeunesse 2024 ceremony,
organised by the Association Nationale des Membres de l'Ordre National du Mérite at the Consular Residence, under the distinguished patronage of the Consul General of France. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Consul General and the event organisers for their warm invitation.
We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to our valued partners—Killarney Heights Public School, the French-speaking
Association of the North Shore (FANS), Taren Point Public School, and Lycée Condorcet Sydney - International French School—for their ongoing
efforts to empower young people to take action, champion their values, and develop into engaged, responsible members of society.
The Alliance Française de Sydney represented by Dominique Barbeau, was invited to the annual Australian South Sea Islander Reception and
Flag Raising event hosted by the City of Sydney. The event commemorated the forced migration of South Sea Islanders to Australia in the
1800s through blackbirding. Many South Sea Islanders were brought to Australia to work in sugar cane farming, seafaring, and other
industries. The event featured speeches and performances that highlighted the discrimination and disadvantage experienced by South Sea
Islanders throughout Australian history. The City of Sydney Council has formally recognized Australian South Sea Islanders as a unique
minority group and has taken steps to address their historical injustices.
The event was hosted by Councillor Emelda Davis, whose grandfather was abducted from the island of Tanna in Vanuatu when he was 12 years
old. The singer who performed at the event told the audience about her grandfather who was kidnapped from Lifou in the New Caledonian
archipelago. The event was a reminder of the importance of reconciliation and the need to continue working towards a more just and equitable
society.

We have gathered a selection of our teachers and staff's favourite French restaurants in Sydney, from classics to lesser-known gems.
What an incredible day it was to celebrate 140 years of the Alliance Francaise movement with the children and teenagers! Between games, rows, quizzes and cooking, the children and teenagers had a great time. As a bonus, they were able to expand their French vocabulary while having fun. And to top it all off, the super cake competition was a real success, with each of the creations more delicious than the last. A memorable day to celebrate this wonderful occasion together.
