French is alive at Stamford and at Brock University!

See Mrs. Magnotta in room 25 for more details about this contest.

Beginning in 1978, this long-standing contest provides an opportunity for grade 11 and 12 students of the Niagara region to demonstrate their French language skills through a variety of activities.

Students are registered in one of three language categories: 1) Core French, 2) Intensive French, which includes students who study a number of subjects in the French language, and 3) Francophone for our French first-language students. The participants rotate through 5 different challenging language activities which have been developed to test language proficiency.

French language student monitors from Brock University will accompany the contestants throughout the morning and will offer guided tours of the Brock campus. This interaction with Brock students will offer the high school students insight to campus life.

The high school students will be recognized during the prize ceremony. Major category winners will receive monetary prizes made possible through the generosity of Brock University and the School Boards, as well as local businesses and community organizations, many of which represent the Francophone community in Niagara.

Each participant receives a t-shirt to commemorate this important event.
