Alliance Française de Townsville

The Alliance Française de Townsville is a 100% self-funded, non-profit educational and cultural organisation, managed by a committee elected from its members. It was founded in 1968, and quickly grew into an active cultural organisation under the presidency of Professor Ron Sussex. Like other Alliances we have links with schools and universities, including presenting prizes for students excelling in French.
 

Our Aims
We are an organisation dedicated to the promotion of French language and culture in Townsville. We teach French, a language spoken by over 175 million people in 42 countries.  We offer a cultural environment through our services and activities. We provide quality teaching and our teachers are all fluent speakers.

The committee also organises a large range of activities including café conversation, pétanque, picnics, bike rides and participation in community events such as the School French Competition, presenting excellence awards at James Cook University, participating in the Cultural Fest at Strand Park and Open Day at James Cook University.
