Students at St. Noel Chabanel Catholic School, Notre Dame Catholic School, and Our Lady of the Bay Catholic High School enjoyed an unforgettable learning experience this week, thanks to a generous Sociocultural Grant funded by Canadian Parents for French (CPF).
Internationally acclaimed magician and TV presenter Éric Leclerc visited the schools on October 1st and 2nd and wowed students with a high-energy bilingual performance that blended magic,comedy and audience participation.
Our Lady of the Bay Catholic High School also invited students from its feeder schools to attend, giving younger students an opportunity to experience the high school while enjoying the performance.
"We are always looking for ways to maximize funding and extend these incredible cultural experiences to as many students as possible," said FSL Curriculum Consultant Chantal Ross, “It’s a great way to give students an authentic opportunity to experience French outside of the classroom.”
CPF has supported other experiences for students, including visits from artists LeFloFranco and Missy D. These opportunities help make French language and culture more accessible and engaging for students across the board.
