Bonjour! It's French as a Second Language Week
Every year, our tireless French teachers think up original and exciting ways to celebrate the French language and culture with our students during French as a Second Language Week. The theme this year is: French, One of Canada's Two Official Languages.
Here is what Gravelbourg High is doing for FSL week:
Crêpes, sucre à la crème, pâté chinois, un peu de sucre d'érable,... Eating! Crêpes, fudge, cottage pie, maple sugar.
La musique française jouée dans les corridors, un film français et l'impro 'franglais' joué à midi pour ceux intéressés... Activities: French music playing throughout school, French films and bilingual improve at noon hours.
Lindale is sharing French trivia every morning over the announcements for 3-8 students and a colouring contest for K-2.
Grade 4/5 students at Caronport Elementary School will be leading the school in singing the French lyrics for O Canada.

Community Threat Assessment protocol signing
Prairie South and Holy Trinity Catholic school divisions have been involved in working with the Canadian Centre for Threat Assessment and Trauma Response and our partner group to achieve level 1 and level 2 training in the Violent Threat Risk Assessment process. We currently have over 100 individuals in our communities who have received this training.On February 3, Prairie South and Holy Trinity met with Moose Jaw Police Services, Assiniboia RCMP, Five Hills Health Region Mental Health and Addiction Services, Ministry of Social Services, Ministry of Corrections, Public Safety and Policing, John Howard Society, Moose Jaw Transition House, Moose Jaw Multicultural Council, SIAST – Palliser Campus, Briercrest College and Seminary and the Salvation Army to acknowledge the coming together of organizations in our communities to commit to this process and to work together to keep our communities safe.
While this signing is the result of work done to date, it also marks a starting point towards violence prevention that can be built and strengthened over time and with collective experience. Our desire is to invite more organizations to be a part of this committed and purposeful network over the next months and years, to keep our protocol relevant and training current.
