An online course might be a good option
Any exchange trips for french would look good
Any trips to science-related institutes like a planetarium, museum or lectures
Any competitions you’ve done or can enter?
Do you have any hobbies which give you skills in these areas?
For sixth form personal statements you could mention something like Duolingo for french too probably because they just want to see passion for the subject. Im doing maths and physics and yapped about speed cubing in my sixth form ps lol!
