March 08, 2018

The annual SJASD Concours d’art oratoire event was held on March 6 and 7 at Collège Sturgeon Heights Collegiate. The public speaking event, sponsored by Canadian Parents for French, is an opportunity for students to grow their public speaking abilities, strengthen their second language skills and test their creative writing skills. Each participant prepares a speech on a topic of interest to them and delivers their view points in front of an audience as well as a panel of judges. Congratulations to all concours participants this year, which included representation from eight schools in our Division. Both the early years and secondary events boasted engaging, well-researched presentations filled with original ideas and excellent use of eye contact/body language. A total of 12 students received Gold with distinction and will move on to represent SJASD at the Provincial level, including: (Grades 7-12 pictured above) Ryan H., Moussa D., Emma L. (all from Sturgeon Heights), Meredith R. (Golden Gate),  Agape S. (Sturgeon Heights), and not pictured Colton M. (Golden Gate). (Grades 3-6 pictured below) Jessica J. and Amjad A. (Stevenson-Britannia), Afnaan A. (Bannatyne), Olive D. (Assiniboine), Zoe D.W. (Bannatyne), and Van L. (Ness).

The Provincial finals are set to take place on May 5 at the Université de Saint-Boniface and we wish our students the best of luck at the event! Again, congratulations to all 2018 Concours participants on your hard work, research and dedication.
