This has been a busy week in the Languages Department. At the same time as the arrival of twenty nine visitors from our exchange school, the Lycée Sacré Cœur in Angers, France, we have also been preparing our students for the internationally recognized DELF exams. These are diplomas awarded by the National Ministry of Education in France. They evaluate students' ability to use French in real-life situations. At each level, four skills are assessed: listening, reading, writing and speaking. We have students challenging exams at the A1, A2, B1 and B2 levels. We truly believe that this is another way in which our students can be motivated to learn the language and, in so doing, be inspired by the breadth of our world.
We acknowledge with respect the Coast Salish Peoples on whose traditional lands and waterways we live, learn and play. We are grateful for the opportunity to share in this beautiful region, and we aspire to healthy and respectful relationships with those who have lived on and cared for these lands for millennia.
