The Canadian Parents for French Concours d’art oratoire (French public speaking competition) is a long-standing tradition in our school district. On April 5^th over 30 French Immersion and FSL students from across North Vancouver participated in the North Vancouver School District Concours d’art oratoire http://learningservicesnvsd44.edublogs.org/2012/04/06/students-speak-out-en-francais-concours-dart-oratoire-2012/
