Established in 2005 in Paris Macaron Day is celebrated on 20 March every year to celebrate the French macaron and to support local charities.  It is with this tradition in mind that Madame Weightman asked talented Year 8 chef, Caitlin to bake some macarons to bless our hardworking College Staff on behalf of the French department.  Staff were given a macaron each and could purchase extra macarons with the funds raised going to SPARSH Academy, a non-profit educational institution in India.  BalCC is dedicated to a partnership with SPARSH Academy to uplift and support spiritually and financially underprivileged children, through an educational and a nutritional program.
SPARSH Academy focus on Education, Community Development, Health & Hygiene, Child Development and Literacy programs. Raising money for SPARSH Academy is achieved by fundraising at BalCC by students, teachers and donations from parents.  Thank you to Caitlin for making the delicious macarons, which were made in the colour of the French flag and came in the flavours of blueberry, coconut, raspberry and bubble gum.
