On October 16, grade 9 students at École secondaire catholique des Satellites (ÉSCDS) had the opportunity to take part in an unforgettable field trip to the Ghost and Mavis trail system in Dryden. This activity, organized as part of the outdoor education course, combined the study of plants with notions of geography, offering students a hands-on learning experience in the heart of nature.🍂

Accompanied by staff members Mrs. Fabiana Escanoni de Barros and Mr. Éric Gauthier, the students hiked the wooded trails while exploring the diversity of the local flora. Theoretical lessons came to life as students identified different plant species, and also had the opportunity to take a close look at the region's geographical features, such as soil types and relief, while discussing their impact on the surrounding vegetation.

This outing not only strengthened the bonds between the students, but also illustrated the importance of nature in learning. This moment of outdoor immersion awakened in them a sense of responsibility towards the environment and a new appreciation for local biodiversity. A day rich in discovery and learning! ...

Early October, Brian St-Pierre - artist offered each of our schools an enriching artistic experience.

Brian St-Pierre, accompanied by Johanne Lefebvre, presented shows for different school levels:
🦸Super Heroes: for students in kindergarten to grade 2
💚Franco Passport: for students in grades 3 to 12

During his shows, the artist would show students a balloon to illustrate the importance of spreading the French language: "The balloon is like the Francophonie," he explained. "If you don't play with it, it just sits there. But if you move it around, it comes to life and makes you want to have fun."

At the same time, a group of students from each school had the opportunity to take part in a writing workshop to collaborate on the creation of a theme song for the Aurores boréales CSDC. Verses were designed by each school. Students also had the unique experience of recording the song!
