ALLIANCE FRANCAISE ANNUAL COMPETITION PRIZE
The Alliance Francaise award was given at several different levels in a number of performance areas: Dictation, Reading and Conversation; Poetry; and Recitation. Additionally prizes were awarded at Sub-Intermediate; Intermediate; Leaving; and Matriculation.
Geelong College candidates did not necessarily achieve awards in all performance or year levels each year and only First Prize Matriculation awards are listed here. Geelong College involvement in the award commenced in 1945. The award ceased to be listed in the Speech Day Prize Lists after 1979.
