Practices after 3pm on Sunday, March 19th will continue as normal.

Canadian Parents for French Public Speaking Contest

It is said that one of our biggest fears is public speaking. And what’s the best way to get over our fears and become more resilient and confident? By facing them head-on!

This longstanding public-speaking contest is open to youth who are learning French in school. It’s a great way to celebrate their many hours of hard work and official language bilingualism in Canada!

We’ve had some winners from MDJH featured in this contest, including two from last year.

MDJH Success Stories

Here at Macdonald Drive, we always strive to acknowledge and celebrate when our students have done something special, whether that has been with something school related, or outside of school. It might be winning an award, taking part in a competition or event, or performing in a movie, play or recital. Maybe a student has been helpful around the neighbourhood, or assisted someone because they felt it was the right thing to do. Whatever the reason, we want to hear about it!

If you would like to share a student success story with us, click here to fill out a Google form. When you submit it to us, we may select it to read on the morning announcements, or highlight it on our website, newsletter, or other media.

Help shine some light on our superstars and on our unsung heroes!
