On April 30, Brock University welcomed 75 Grade 10 students from participating schools in the Niagara Region: École Secondaire Franco-Niagara (Welland, Conseil Viamonde) and from the Niagara Catholic School Board, Denis Morris, Holy Cross, Saint Francis, Notre Dame Collège, Lakeshore Catholic and Saint Paul. The participants rotated through different interactive language activities developed to test language proficiency. French language student monitors studying French in Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures offered guided tours of campus, giving high school students a glimpse into life at the University. This year, we also had the pleasure of listening to a musical performance offered by students from the École Secondaire Franco-Niagara who, under the guidance of their teacher Mario Descoeurs, provided much-appreciated musical entertainment.
