Didn’t Take A School Photo or Re-take?   

If any student in grades 9–11 missed both the original school photo day in September and the re-take day and therefore has no school photo, his name will not be included in the school yearbook unless he informs Ms Kolton. Students in grade 12 need to have a graduation photo to be included. It does not matter if you purchased photos; the student just needs to have sat for a photo.

 

University Planning – U of M

Grade 12 students wanting more information about their first year at the University of Manitoba can check out videos or make in-person appointments with the First Year Centre: First Year Planning. Counsellors at the Centre can help with general questions, course selection, scheduling, parking and more. 

The First Year Planning Guide is also a great resource.

Upcoming Oral French Language Exams for Grade 9–11 Students

We would like to inform you about an essential upcoming event for your sons enrolled in both Basic and Advanced French courses grades 9 to 11.

From May 26th to June 10th, our school will be conducting intensive preparation sessions and oral exams for French language proficiency. It is crucial that your sons attend school regularly during this period to adequately prepare for and present their oral exams.

These oral exams not only contribute significantly to their overall French language proficiency assessment but also offer invaluable opportunities for practical language application and skill development.

Your support in ensuring your sons' attendance and readiness for these exams is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support of your sons' education.

Regards,

St. Paul’s French Department
