Conference on "Jordanian cybersecurity law" for secondary school students and their parents
As part of the pHARe project, we recently organised lectures on “Jordan’s Cyber Security Law” for our secondary school students and their parents, with the aim of raising awareness of the challenges of online security and informing them of the preventive measures to be taken, thereby reinforcing our commitment to a secure educational community.
These conferences were led by a team approved by the Department of Family and Juvenile Protection.
Pyjama day
On the first day back after the winter holidays, the nursery school organised a pyjama day with the theme of hygiene and a healthy breakfast.
The students began by exploring the importance of sleep, then prepared a fruit salad for a nutritious breakfast, followed by a relaxation session, and finished with a workshop on dental hygiene, perfecting their tooth-brushing technique.

Francophonie Day

Women involved in the 20th and 21st centuries
On Sunday 10 March, to celebrate International Women’s Rights Day and Girls’ and Boys’ Equality Week, students in the two classes of 3ème were proud to inaugurate an exhibition entitled “Femmes engagées au XXe et au XXIe siècle” (“Women involved in the 20th and 21st centuries”). Around thirty portraits pay tribute to women involved in art, science, the environment and sport.
Thank you to the grade 9 students for their involvement and to the teachers for their guidance.

ADN-AEFE
As the LFiA is part of the worldwide AEFE network, which is present in 138 countries and includes 566 schools, students in Year 10 can take part in a 4- to 6-week school exchange with one of the 180 lycées enrolled in the ADN programme.
Camille Pillot ( grade 10-1) began his exchange in February at the Lycée Français de Tananarive (Madagascar) and is currently hosting his partner Alric.

BLUE" activity: Thursday 22 February 2024 in grade 6-1 and grade 6-2
In order to maintain a positive and constructive school climate, Mrs. WERNER Cäcilia and Mrs. FELIDE-HABILES Souhila, members of the ” Bien-Être au LFiA – BEL” team, under the leadership of Mrs. ATTIE Joséphine, gave a talk on the damage and benefits created by the words that hurt and soothe.
They thought about and created an activity adapted to our young grade 6 students, to help them understand the importance and value of words spoken between peers, so that the well-being of everyone in the school is preserved and maintained.

LFiA students took part in the Toyota Dream Car Art Contest, giving them a chance to delve into the world of creativity and innovation. Students used their imagination to design their dream car.
