Did you know?
Learning subjects in French does not interfere with English language development. In fact, it improves it.
Research shows that learning a second language has a positive effect on first language achievement. Immersion students match and often exceed the English skills of other students by grade 4 or 5, even though they usually start reading and writing in French first.
English language skills are also strengthened and maintained because students spend the vast majority of time communicating in English with family and friends.
Friendly Reminders
- Please give your grade 7 or 8 child a dated written permission if you choose to allow them to go to 7 Eleven during lunch recess or to walk home after their option class at Holy Spirit School. Merci!
- October is already here and the days are getting colder! Please ensure that your children are dressed appropriately for the weather. Merci!
