Durham Catholic Schools Celebrate French Culture

Posted On Wednesday September 25, 2019

On Wednesday, September 25, 2019, our Durham Catholic schools celebrated Franco-Ontarian Day by wearing green and white. Grade 3 and 4 students and staff at St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic School, in Oshawa proudly raised the Franco-Ontario flag to recognize the vibrant culture of Francophones living in Ontario. The students sang our national anthem and the Francophone Ontarian song, while raising the flag.

Our board appreciates and acknowledges the diversity that the Francophone community brings to Ontario and the role that culture brings to language learning. Our students studying in all our French as a Second Language (FSL) programs, realize the vision of the FSL curriculum as they strive to learn about Canada, its two official languages and Francophone culture.
