The 18th edition came alive at École Sainte-Anne
On May 7, 2026, École Sainte-Anne hosted the 18th edition of the Conseil scolaire francophone provincial’s Speak Off Competition. Students, families, and community members gathered to hear our young talents speak, in French, with pride.
The winners
After original speeches delivered before a panel of judges, three students stood out:
Elementary category: Marissa Benoît (École Notre-Dame-du-Cap)
Intermediate category: William Lush (École Rocher-du-Nord)
Secondary category: Nicolas Abrard (École Rocher-du-Nord)
Congratulations to these three students for their courage, their preparation, and the quality of their French expression. You made us proud.
Thank you to everyone who made it possible
An event like the Speak Off doesn’t happen on its own. We sincerely thank the ARCO, with a special thank-you to Catherine Fenwick, as well as Mark Cormier, Bernard and Robert Félix, Andrew Hibbits, Stéphane Kerhoas, and Tony Cornect. Thank you also to the parent committee: Edna, Kim, Tania, Michelle, and Christa, to Edna Hall, and to the entire team at École Sainte-Anne for their warm welcome.
Finally, a heartfelt thank-you to Sophie Gauthier, our identity construction agent, for organizing this 18th edition with such dedication.
See you next year for the 19th edition!
