LIFE ON CAMPUS AT THE FRENCH

Our home is your home!

At The French, you’re one of the family

Our aim is to be the place for you to grow and change; the protective, loving environment where learning takes place uninhibited by prejudice and judgment; the place where true personal growth occurs.

Life at The French is so much more than just homework and classrooms! We create a positive and engaging campus culture for our Frenchies, one that helps to nurture their talents and build their confidence. You can also immerse yourself in life on campus in a wide variety of ways including Student Ambassador, Student Experience and Charity events where you can make friends, give back to those in need in the community and help fundraise for our charity partners. On top of all that, not only will you leave The French with the best education in Beauty Therapy, but also with lifelong best friends!

Your first day at The French

F​​eeling anxious about making friends on your first day? You’re not alone! It’s actually one of the most common fears all soon-to-be #Frenchies have before they embark on their studies. ⁠Experiencing nerves before your first day is totally normal. We all worry about what others will think about us, will we fit in, will people be nice, will we be accepted… But at The French, you don’t have to be worried because you already have some friends – they’re the ones in the pink scarfs!⁠

Our wonderful Student Ambassadors are friendly, kind and can’t wait to meet you and show you the ropes. They are always on campus, willing to listen, ready to help if you are ever feeling lost or overwhelmed.⁠

To get you started on the right foot, we have designed a specialised orientation schedule which is dedicated to ensuring you are fully prepared and dressed for success, both personally and professionally. Upon arrival to campus, you’ll be introduced into your cohorts (named after amazing pioneering women in history) where we have a number of activities planned to get you comfortable and you’ll find out everything you need to know before your first official class! 

The French Code of Conduct

We believe every person should have equal opportunity to learn in a safe, non-judgemental, nurturing and supportive environment. That’s why all new students at The French are bound to adhere to the Student Code of Conduct to ensure each student has an enriching learning and social experience. As individuals, students enrolled with The French Beauty Academy can expect:

  • To be treated with courtesy and respect;
  • To be treated equitably irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, race, disability, medical condition, cultural background, religion, marital status, age, or political conviction;
  • To be able to freely communicate and voice alternative points of view in rational debate; and
  • To participate in a learning environment free from sexual, racial, gender-based, or other forms of harassment.

Student support that goes beyond

Our amazing teaching faculty are united in helping our students find their light and share it with the world. Our faculty want the world and more for our students. We are deeply motivated by the opportunity of nurturing and mentoring students, helping them to believe in their own worth and setting them on the path to a meaningful career. As such, we offer support that goes beyond the curriculum. We foster a nurturing and supportive environment that recognises no two students’ stories are the same so have frameworks for support at all phases of the learning journey.  Everyone in our team realises that working here is more than a job – we have the power to open hearts, inspire minds and transform lives and that is a privilege we honour.

Giving back to the community

Our Student Ambassadors represent and assist The French in a range of fundraising activities, events and acts of goodwill and community service which help contribute to the amazing French student experience that we are famous for. We are partnered with amazing charities here in Australia and overseas. We regularly give to three main charities through the Papillon Project in support of our mission to support and empower women:

  • Captivating International  is a charity who helps liberate individuals and at-risk communities from human sex trafficking and slavery in Nepal, the Philippines and beyond. Our funds raised predominantly go to the human sex-trafficking Interception teams at Nepal border monitoring stations, the Rescue teams who literally pull women out of brothels and important preventative Education programs in at-risk communities.
  • Closer to home, our focal point is domestic and family violence. We give to our partner charities RizeUp (Queensland) and Women’s Safety Services (South Australia) who generate life-changing, practical support for the women and children affected my violence, giving them the hope, empowerment and ability to move on to a life free from violence.

The French Uniform

Dressed for success from the inside out

The French Beauty Academy uniform mirrors the polished style and presentation expected of therapists in a real-world luxury service environment. It also identifies you as an Academy student and a person with the ambition, commitment and the ability to work in an industry dedicated to caring for others.

The journey our students embark on is one of transformation on many different levels, both inside and out. So yes, you will learn about grooming and presentation, but you’ll also learn the value of walking tall and proud, looking others in the eye, and greeting people with a big warm smile and a confident handshake. But perhaps most importantly, you will discover your inner beauty – exploring your strengths, your passions, your uniqueness and your inestimable worth; bringing you to a place where you are truly comfortable in your own skin.

“In my year at The French I’ve achieved so much beyond my training – it’s been one big year of IMPROVING myself. I’ve accomplished some very personal goals like improving my relationships and finding who I want to be. Service Excellence has changed my life. I have built courage and confidence, especially with communicating to others. This journey together has been nothing but amazing.”
