Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous donner autant d'information à propos de votre école! C'était très intéressant de lire tout ça.

While reading about your school, I couldn't help but think how much nicer your school looks than ours. Compared to yours, our school looks boring and old. The weather also seems much better Ottawa ...

J'espère qu'on va avoir plus d'échanges dans le futur et bonnes vacances!

Votre école est tellement beau ! Je trouve que c'est génial que vous avez l'option de faire de la plonge sous-marin !! C'est une activité que j'adore, mais malheureusement ici au Canada il n'y en a pas beaucoup d'endroits où la faune nautique est très intéressant (c'est trop froid !). Mais l'idée de la faire avec l'école est formidable !! C'est incroyable comment vous avez tellement d'activités intéressantes avec ton école.

Here at CB, we don't have nearly the same amount of activities as you do (and after seeing all these photos and this information about your school, I'm beginning to think maybe I should move to Marseille!) Good luck throughout the rest of your school year! We are heading into exams as of this week (June 12th). Have a great summer!!

Merci pour les photos et l'information que vous avez partagé avec nous. Votre école regarde vraiment beau. J'aimerai avoir des corridors exterior mom et vous mais c'est trop sa froid en hiver. Vos voyages et activités semble vraiment amusant.

In Ottawa we are just finishing up our school year. Most of us have four or five exams to do after that. We don't have a big end of the year thing, just an assembly tomorrow afternoon.

J'espère qu'en vous bien aimez de corresponded avec nous. Bon chance dans le reste de ton éducation en anglais.

Thank you for sharing your post about your daily schedule at school.

C'est étonnant que vous devez seulement venir à l'école pour un demi jour chaque mercredi! Notre école commence a 9 h 15 et termine a 15 h 15, lundi à vendredi. En outre, on a le droit d'utiliser nos téléphones cellulaires à l'école.

We are at the end of our school year at Colonel By right now and our exams are starting this week. In addition to final exams, we also have final projects for some courses such as Canadian World History.

Merci encore pour votre post, votre école semble être très intéressant, beaucoup plus intéressant que le notre.. Je vous souhaite un bon été!

Merci pour tous les photos et l'information que vous avez partagé à propos de vos vies et votre école! Votre école est tellement belle, et j'adore les arbres et les autre plantes qui l'entoure.

The sports you get to participate in seem like so much fun! I would love to do water sports at school like scuba diving and surfing. You are all so lucky! In Canada, it is too cold for most of the year to be able to participate in water sports.

De plus, Le échanges que vous avez parler de semble d'être très amusants. J'aimerais participer dans une échange scholaire dans le futur, car ça me permettera d'expériencer des différents cultures et apprendre, mais aussi m'amuser.

Additionally, your school days seem to be so long! I think I would be very tired after school everyday if our school day ended at 5:30. On the other hand, a half-day once a week would be fun to have! That way, you would be able to study or have fun with your friends for the rest of that day.

Je vous souhaite des belles vacances, et j'espère qu'on pourrait continuer cette correspondance dans le futur!

Merci pour tout l'information que vous avez partager avec nous! J'étais capable d'apprendre si beaucoup des choses intéressants à propos de votre école je suis tellement impressionée. J'ai aimé beaucoup les différents photos que vous avez inclus comme le photo de 100 jours avant le bac et tous les sports nautiques. Je suis vraiment jalouse de fait que vous habitez dans un endroit avec de si beau temps et a tant d'activités amusants comme le surfing et des différents voyages. Les sports et les voyages dans les écoles ici en Canada sont beaucoup plus limités.
Right now at our school of Colonel By, we are in our final days of class. At school, we are all anticipating the summer as the weather has heated up significantly, and we're enjoying the last moments of the year. Many of us are going around with our yearbooks and exchanging messages and signatures with them. Aside from the fun and excitement, we are all busy and stressed with our final evaluations and our exams. After our last day of class, we will enter exam period and be occupied with studying at home in preparation on the days we are not being tested. This year, our grade has to prepare for exams for science, maths, english and french. After that, we will be free for the summer!
I hope you all have a good summer vacation! ^-^

Hello! It was pleasure getting to know all of you. We really enjoyed learning about your learning environment. Nous tenons à vous remercier de partager toutes les images étonnantes. Our school is so old it is probably considered a national heritage site. Nous sommes si jaloux de votre école; Surtout de votre club d'aviron. Au début, nous avons pensé que votre école était une hôtel, mais Mme Kitchen nous a dit que c'était vraiment votre école ... Nous entrons maintenant dans le temps d'examen, ce qui signifie que nous nous stressons pour nos notes. Nous espérons que vous avez de bonnes vacances d'été et que toutes vos activités se terminent avec succès! We hope to keep in contact and to one day come visit your school. Have fun! From Sayohn, Kevin, Patrick and William.

Votre école à l'air d'être très amusante. Je n'arrive pas à me'remettre du fait que vous faisiez des sports nautiques à l'école !

Votre école est si joli!!!!!!! Merci de nous avoir informé. Notre école est vraiment pire comparé à le v¸ôtre...

Our school is worn down and we don't have anything as cool as surfing or skiing in the Alps. Je voudrais tellement avoir un fête comme 100 jours avant BAC!

La fin de l'année à CB est très intense, à cause du fait que chacun de nos 8 cours inclut une tache culminante. De plus, nous avons des examens (3 à 5).

Bonnes vacances!

Merci pour avoir partagé tant de photos et d'information à propos de votre école! Je trouve que vous êtes très chanceux d'avoir une école si magnifique. Vos journées scolaires sont tellement longues; les nôtres sont seulement de 9:15 à 15:15. Par contre, nous n'avons pas de demi-jour le
mercredi.
Aussi, vos nombreuses opportunités pour des échanges scolaires à l'Espagne, la Finland et d'autres destinations semblent très amusants! Notre école offre aussi des échanges; en fait, quelques élèves de la France sont venus à notre école au début de l'année!
This Wednesday we are starting our exam season. All of us are just really excited for summer to start. I hope you all have a great summer break! Merci pour votre correspondance!

Merci beaucoup pour nous parler à propos de votre école extraordinaire! L'école est très belle et je suis tellement jalouse de tous les activités que vous avez à votre école comme "Interdisciplinary Week" et "100 days before the BAC". Je suis vraiment très envieuse que vous pourriez visiter les différents pays pendant "Interdisciplinary Week" comme London ou New York, des endroits où je veux vraiment visiter. À notre école, nos cours d'arts sont similaires aux celles à votre école. Les élèves ont l'option de prendre le cours d'IB après 9ième année. Cependant, chaque deux jours, il y a un classe d'art. Donc, parfois, il va avoir deux jours par semaine de classe d'art et parfois il va avoir trois jours par semaine.

At our school, we don't have as many special events or activities like your school. At the end of the school year before exams start, we have an athletic banquet to celebrate the student athletes at our school and also give out awards to star athletes. At the athletic banquet, breakfast food is available to all who RVSP'd to the banquet before hand. Afterwards, our school gives out free food such as hot dogs and juice boxes to all of the students for an end of year barbecue. In the afternoon, the graduating students have a leaving ceremony where they perform a song or poem for the rest of the student body to say goodbye. This ceremony is quite nostalgic and very sad.

I hope you all have a great summer, filled with fun, relaxation and lots of new experiences! Bonnes vacances!

In our high school, there are many special rooms such as technology rooms, laboratories, a sort of library called "CDI", an amphitheater and a room called the "arbre de vie". We have three technology rooms, one for the the pupils who are in 9th grade, and two others for engineering science. During 10th grade, technology lessons are replaced by engineering science or CIT (creation and technological innovations). In these rooms there are many computers and each pupil has a personal password. We also have lots of tools, machines and material to achieve technological projects as you can see on the picture.

Here we have science lessons such as physics and chemistry, SVT (Life and Earth Sciences) and also MPS lessons (methods and scientific practices). Physics and chemistry explain the natural phenomena of the universe. It corresponds to study the world around us in all its forms, the laws of its variation and its evolutions. The "life and Earth sciences" involves many topics such as health, environment, natural hazards... Finally, MPS is a combination of mathematics and physics. These lessons require certain tools and stuff. That's why all the rooms are equipped with microscopes, washbasins, computers, high white desks and a projector. As well as all the chemistry material like beakers, testers, scales ... This type of lesson lasts one hour or an hour and a half. During the experiments we must bring our white coat. We have two libraries in our school, one for the 9th and 10th grades and another for 11th and 12th grades. The library is a room where we go to study at any moment of the day for example when our teacher is missing we have to go there. In this room, there are many parts. We have a working area with tables where we can study, there is also a reading area with sofas and a room with many computers. The library is supervised by Marie, she likes to change the decoration of the room with some projects from the art lessons and with some works from other pupils. Recently we add to this room a giant chess which was built with our 3D printer.

There is also an amphitheater where there is about three hundred seats. In this room we take our tests. During 10th grade there are 2 commons tests, during 11th grade there are two "bac blanc" (it's training for the bac) and during 12th grade there are three "bac blanc". We can also do conferences on several themes with debates... And we do meetings with parents for the orientation... In our school, there is a big room called "l'arbre de vie". In there, we do some sports such as dance, step, muscle strengthening, ping pong... we also have all the equipments for this type of sport in a sort of reserve in both side of the little scene of this room. On this scene, we do some performances most of the time with the school's choral. This room also has a religious role and we have some gathering for the students who want to assist to religious celebrations. That's why we have a stained-glass window in there. This room is very important for 12th grade because they do their "prom"  at the end of the year

In our high school, there are three baccalauréat (the equivalent of your A-levels) : in literature, sciences and economy and socials. There is also a technological baccalauréat which is STI2D.

Literature A-level is made for those who are interested in philosophy, languages, ...
science A-level is designed for people who are into chemistry, physics, Maths, ...
Economy and socials A-level is for those who are interested in today society and its evolution. STI2D deals with sustainable development.

But before final exams, there is a tradition in March which is called "les 100 jours avant le bac". These are two days where all future graduates disguise themselves. This year it will be from Thursday 16th to Friday 17th. In the evening, there is a bal.
Here are some pictures :

We're going to tell you about the trips and exchanges we do at our school.

In June, we have a week called "Interdisciplinary Week”. This is the moment we go on a trip (for example, we can go to London, Manchester, Berlin, New York...) or do an activity (karting, golf, music, dance...). Each trip teaches us a lot about the culture of the country and we often go sightseeing, do a lot of activities and get to experience what life is abroad. Activities allows us to make new friends within the school, discover new sports, new places and develop our creativity.

Our school is part of an exchange program called ESN (European School Network). During the year, the students can choose to be part of an exchange and go abroad to discover a new country, do a lot of activities and meet new people. For example, this year, students can go do nordic winter activities in Finland, be part of a food seminar in Italy or make short films in Holland. In June, we invite students from schools part of ESN here to do sea sports. It's an amazing concept which allows us to travel for cheap, have fun and become more sociable.

We think it's great that our school allows us to do this kind of trips and exchanges. It's fun and educational at the same time.

In St Louis St Marie, we practice different sports such as dancing, climbing, running, orienteering, table tennis, boxing , step, and also team sports such as handball, basketball and soccer. We practice these sports once a week during two hours. Pupils are separated into 5 groups which propose 5 different options where we can choose what sports we will practice during the year.

There is also a race track and a climbing wall which is 22 feet high. On the race track, there are three handball fields and two basketball fields outdoor.

In our high school, there are associations with which we can practice others sports such as surfing, climbing, skiing, rowing and soccer.

We can practice these activities when classes are over such as during lunch time or at weekends.

Students who participate to these activities can go into the wild for climbing on a real cliff. During the winter, the school organizes skiing trips during some weekends in the Alps. On Wednesday afternoons, students go surfing with the school along the coast called “ la Côte Bleue “ and choose a spot where waves are the best.

In June, when classes are over, other trips are organized and during one trip we can go surfing to Portugal.

In our region, we can practice sea sports such as scuba diving, windsurfing, rowing and sailing. We can do these activities during all year because during winter, it is not so cold.

St Elisabeth is the surfing site of our school.

Art is not a compulsory subject any more in high school but we can continue to study as an optional subjects.
Students have art class only until 9th grade. If you choose this you have 1 hour and a half lesson a week.

If you really like art you study a literature A-level with art option.
In our school, students make different projects like paintings, photographies and sculptures . Also they can decorate the library by making paints on the tables, or decorating it during the celebrations for Christmas or Halloween.
Theater option is proposed to the students who wants to act after classes in " l'arbre de Vie" .They can play 2 hours a week.

I put some pictures of our library and the art class.

Hi ! We are some of the students from the lycée Saint Louis-Sainte Marie and we are glad to show you a part from our school!

We are going to tell you about our typical day at school. First of all, we have four school days : on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays we go to school from 8:55 AM to 5:30 PM and a half of a day on Wednesdays we start at the same time but we finish at 11:55 AM. Our days are quite long but we have got a long time for lunch.

For an ordinary day at school, we wake up at 6:30AM then we get ready and we take the bus around 8AM which allows us to get to school at 8:40AM. Class starts at 8:55AM, all the classes are 55 minutes long.

During the lunch break, after eating, we can study in the CDI - it’s a sort of library, or we can just stay in the schoolyard, we can also practice some sports such as climbing, playing basketball or football. Some people go to the “pastorale” room, it is a room where pupils can practice the religion. It is also the only room where you can use your phone.

We are not allowed to use our phone during the classes neither in the school yard, but some of the people are cheating and using them during the tests.

As you can see on the different pictures, we have two ways to have lunch. We can eat in the cantine or in the cafeteria. You can pay each term or reload your lunch card with money in the secretary’s office and have the possibility to eat in one of these places.

In the cantine you can eat a starter, a main dish, cheese and a yogurt or a piece of cake and you don't have so many choices. For example a typical meal is composed by salad, chicken and rice, chocolate/fruit/sweet yogurt and an apple or a banana.

However in the cafeteria you choose really whatever you want to eat such as sandwiches, panini, salads, French fries, nuggets and you can also drink sodas such as soft drink and coke...

And, in the outside area, we have a cash machine : we can buy soda, fruit juice and very different cakes. We use coins.

Here in St Louis-Ste Marie, school buses are not yellow and so typical as in your country. Each region or town has got a different kind of bus which differs according to the city ( if it's a countryside city, a town or a big city) and of course the budget of the town or the school. Every morning the pupils of different towns or cities such as Marignane or Marseille  go to the bus stop corresponding to the place where they live and wait before to get into the bus . There are 19 bus lines which are connected to this high school  in ”Gignac-la-Nerthe” or in the junior high school in” Marignane” and the students come from approximately 25 bus stops. In these buses there are around 60 seats.

Hi everyone,

We haven’t got corridors as in your school because the classrooms aren’t in one building. Our classrooms are side by side and sometimes there is another upstairs. But there are different buildings with classrooms such as the school life office, the library... We have a lot of space between the classrooms with plants and green areas.

There are paths so as to go to each classroom and they connect the buildings together. We have walkways to the classrooms which are upstairs.

We have lockers too. Two people who are in the same class use the same locker.

The lockers aren’t as big as yours. They are smaller and we put just our books, tablets or something that we don’t use for the day anymore. We don’t decorate them because they are small. We use a padlock but we can choose if we use a code or a key.

There are two “BVS” (school life offices). The school life office is an important place, it is here that missing pupils are reported and the reasons must be justified here. The school life office is the place of the supervisors who take care of pupils. It’s a place where the pupils’ problems are solved.

Ici à Ottawa, nous recevons beaucoup de neige chaque hiver. Ceci nous permet de faire beaucoup d’activités hivernales comme le ski et le patinage, construire des bonhommes de neiges et créer des anges de neige.

L'apprentissage à Colonel By utilise beaucoup la technologie moderne. Nous avons 5 laboratoires de technologie et aussi plusieurs appareils qui peuvent êtres loués aux élèves.

Il existe plusieurs cours de technologie à Colonel By. Commençant en 9ème année (1ère année d'école secondaire), il y a un cours de technologie intégrée - qui est plus orienté vers l'application de la technologie envers la conception; et un cours de technologie de communication - qui couvre comment faire des vidéos et s'exprimer avec la technologie.

En 10ème année, il y a un cours de programmation qui enseigne aux élèves des concepts importants de l'informatique. Il y a aussi des cours de conception en utilisant la technologie, et des cours pour produire CougarVision - un émission produit par des élèves à Colonel By.

La salle 212 est un laboratoire utilisé pour la conception à ordinateur et la programmation. Il y a aussi plusieurs laboratoires pour la production des vidéos, comme celle en bas.

Les élèves à Colonel By utilisent régulièrement la technologie à l'école pour faire des projets; Ici juste en bas, c'est notre classe de français qui utilise des ordinateurs pour completer un projet.
