Berthe Mouchette Competition

The Berthe Mouchette Competition remains Victoria’s most established and respected French-language event for school students.

Students are invited to explore this year's theme Des ponts entre nous / Bridges Between Us:
between people and cultures, languages and ideas... and to discover how French itself can be a powerful bridge for expression and connection.
