THE FIVE ‘A’S
Middle School French Immersion Trip Adventure
The Middle School students had a wonderful experience during their French immersion ski trip to Saint-Donat in January. This annual trip is offered through Perspectives, a French cultural outdoor education program based in Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm, Québec. The students get a feel for life in a French community, and share an experience together using the French language. A bonus this year was that snow conditions were perfect for downhill and cross-country skiing, night trail skating and snowshoeing.
Conspicuous Service Awards Athletics What makes an athlete a great team player? The Conspicuous Service Award highlights Grade 12 players who contribute to the synergy of their team, are consistent and dependable, and most importantly, bring their own unique positivity to every interaction on and off the fields and courts. This year, 15 awards were given to student- athletes in soccer, track and field, basketball, volleyball and field hockey.
Chess Champions Academics In April, the Junior School hosted a chess invitational, inviting students from the Quinte region to compete. Thirteen students qualified for the Belleville District Championship, which was held on April 20. Each student played five games, and each grade group had 20 players. Four of our players finished in the top three in their grades, including Andre, Grade 3, who placed first.
