KEELE ST PS OPEN HOUSE

TDSB FRENCH REVIEW

With over 90,000 students in Core French and another 28,000 students in French Immersion/Extended French programs come system successes and challenges. We are proud of the Board’s successes in retention rate, inclusion of students with special education needs as well as accessibility and transportation. At the same time, challenges include multiple entry points, equity of access, and transportation.

As part of the Director’s Response to the Enhanced Equity Task Force Report, a review of all French Programs will begin in Spring 2018. In collaboration with the TDSB Research Department, this review will focus on the current status of all French Programs, including the structure, content of the teaching and learning, and policies and procedures related to French. We look forward to receiving feedback about the successes and challenges of the various French Programs through face-to-face consultation with parents/guardians, Trustees, staff, students and community members and an online survey (available soon!).

View last year's report here: Annual Report: Enrolment, Successes, Challenges of French Programs . 

You are invited to join any of the consultation meetings available throughout May 2018. All meetings will be led by TDSB staff and held in the school cafeteria from 7 to 9 p.m.

OUR PEOPLE WILL BE HEALED

The Aboriginal Education Centre, in association with Cinema Politica presents, 'Our People Will Be Healed: A Brighter Future through Education, Culture, and Tradition.’ This is a documentary screening that will be followed by a discussion with Director Alanis Obomsawin.

Friday, March 23 at 7:00 PM

Aboriginal Education Centre

16 Phin Avenue (One block south of the Donlands Subway Station)

The film is about Norway House Cree Nation that sits more than 450 km north of Winnipeg and is one of Manitoba's largest First Nations communities. The community has a focus on innovation, self-determination and sustainability. It is home to a remarkable education centre and a range of community-managed industries, but the legacy of colonial policies and the traumas of both the residential school and the crisis around murdered and missing women remain deeply felt. With Our ‘People Will Be Healed’, Alanis Obomsawin shows us a potential pathway forward with these successful stories of Indigenous self-determination and Indigenous sovereignty alongside Canada.
