Trip
to L’Université Ste-Anne
The cost of the trip is $215.00. The dates are May 2-4. Students will need to be dropped off at the school no later than 7:45am on the day of departure (Wednesday) and picked up at 2:00pm on the day of arrival (Friday).
q
This includes transportation, all
meals, and accommodations.
The
objectives of this trip to Ste-Anne are to:
ü
Provide an opportunity for the
student to be totally immersed in a French environment.
ü
Provide an educational awareness
of the existence of French in other areas of our Province.
ü
Provide an opportunity to
differentiate between the Acadian dialect and the French spoken in the
classroom.
ü
Provide an educational, as well as
an enjoyable cultural exchange.
ü
Provide students with the
opportunity to interact with other students who are at the same level.
Students will each have an opportunity to write in their journals. They will record the events of that day to be handed in at the end of the trip, which will be evaluated as part of the French term mark. Students are asked to bring a notebook; however, they will need to bring along pens, pencils, markers, and of course their dictionary.
The total immersion
begins on the bus. There is a plaque
awarded to the school with the least number of English warnings.
Some
of the rules during the week:

times. A contract will be signed stating that the student will only speak
French during the trip. Privileges will be taken away such as missing part of or
the entire dance if students are warned. .
