French TV news features Loreto Crumlin

On Tuesday 5th September 2006, a news item on French national television, TF1's Jourmal Télévisé de 13h features Loreto College Crumlin. A camera crew came to the school the previous day and filmed the report as part of a series of news items on La Rentrée (returning to school) in France and compared it to another school in Europe.

Reporter Nicolas Bellet with camerawoman Sophie Hautefeuille and sound man Guy Watine spent the whole day in the school interviewing students, teachers and filming classes and games. The result: a two minute feature on French news!!

The news item included footage of a third year French class and a TY Irish class as well as an interview with Mrs Lavery (French teacher)

However short the report may have been, it was obvioulsly impressive enough to inspire one teacher of English in a secondary school in Nantes to contact TF1 for our details.

The news crew gets ready to film the 3rd Years
