COLLEGE MARIA CASARES
Our pupils
The school
Pupils are currently designing a presentation page for their school in English.
Come back to this page often for new information and visit our blog on Tumblr for more information.
Our school is a state-run school for around 400 pupils aged 11 to 16 in the town of Rillieux-la-Pape just outside of Lyon, France.
There are some images of our school here on our pupil blog.
Our pupils are aged 11 to 16 and from a range of different backgrounds and cultures.
For most pupils French is their first language with English as their second or third language.
@SkypeClassroom allows pupils to take their English language skills to an authentic English speaking audience.
Pupils look forward to:
- Presenting themselves
- Representing their school
- Presenting their town
- Learning about other pupils, their routines and lifestyles
- Learning about other schools and studies
Contact us to share ideas about how our two schools might work together.
Pupils in France begin to learn a little English at primary school.
