Concours oral


Every year, the Fédération of Alliances Françaises of New Zealand organises a National French Speaking Competition for secondary school pupils called the "Concours Oral".

The Alliance Française Palmerston North participates in the Concours Oral.

The “Concours Oral” is open to all year 10 to 13 school pupils studying French. 

Year 12 and 13 students go through a selection process regionally (organised by the local Alliance) in order to participate in the national oral contest.

Every year, two trips to New Caledonia reward one Year 13 student and one Year 12 student. 

Our deepest gratitude goes to Aircalin for sponsoring the international flights. Thank you also to our sponsors ImmerseMe, the Government of New Caledonia, and to our partner CREIPAC.

Congratulations to our 2025 National
Concours oral winners


Year 12: JONATHAN PEEL (Palmerston North Boys High School)


Year 13: JEREMY HABWE (Christchurch Boys’ High School)
