On June 21, 24, 25 and 27, students at Sudbury’s École St-Dominique (2096 Montfort St., Sudbury) will participate in the 24th annual École St-Dominique Olympic Games. This school activity seeks to promote participation and fair play.
Since 1996, École St-Dominique has organized several days of sports and knowledge-based games at the end of June for students from Kindergarten to grade 6 who are divided into teams representing various countries. Grade 6 students benefit from leadership opportunities as they act as team leaders. Parents and former students also participate as volunteers and manage the games and various activities. The school uses the Olympic concept to make all students aware of the individual characteristics of each country.
The Olympics also brings about a great partnership between New Sudbury’s two French-language Catholic schools. The activity provides an opportunity for École St-Dominique graduates now studying at École catholique Félix-Ricard to revisit their former school during the games, collaborate with their former teachers and develop their leadership abilities.
“We can proudly and convincingly state that our St-Dominique youngsters experience fun times and will have pleasant memories of the games due to the dedication of our dynamic staff, who are fully devoted to our students,” stated École St-Dominique Principal Ms. Sylvie Bazinet.
The Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon offers a French-language Catholic Educational Program that is widely recognized for its excellence. The CSC Nouvelon provides a quality learning environment and academic program that runs from early childhood to adult education, with some 7,000 students enrolled in 27 elementary and 10 secondary schools.
