École des Grands-Vents Culture and sport

At École des Grands-Vents, our students have many opportunities to enrich their academic and personal careers by discovering and practicing cultural and sports activities taking place in Saint John or in other regions where there are Francophone or Acadian communities.

Culture

Here is an overview of the cultural activities offered to students at École des Grands-Vents:

Public Speaking Contest

For the past fifteen years, students in grades 4 to 12 from CSFP schools have participated in this important competition that showcases the public speaking skills of our young people.

The first stage of the competition takes place at the local level. Each participant must deliver a three- to five-minute speech to a jury on a topic of their choice. The local winners then participate in the provincial grand final, which takes place in turn on the Port-au-Port Peninsula, in Labrador or in Saint John.

It is an opportunity to celebrate the language and culture of Francophones. The French presence in Newfoundland and Labrador dates back more than 500 years and is an important part of its culture.
