24 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday December 5, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Public school French immersion information nights The Halton District School Board is staging information sessions about its French immersion programs at various schools around the region in December and January. The board is already making preparations for the start of the next school year in September 2009, so sessions regarding the board's French immersion programs have been planned at its designated French immersion centres. The Halton board offers immersion and extended French to students beginning in Grade 1 (early) and Grade 7 (extended). In these bilingual programs, elementary school students attend a Halton board elementary school designated as a French centre, where they receive half their daily instruction in English and half in French. "This provides students with the opportunity to achieve a working command of French and simultaneously acquire the personal growth, knowledge and skills expected in the regular program," said a school board press release. Registration forms for French immersion program are available at any Halton public school, including the French centres listed below. Applications should be returned to the student's home school by no later than Jan. 16, 2009. Information evenings begin at 7 p.m., unless otherwise indicated, and will be held at the following French immersion centres: · Thursday, Dec. 11: Linbrook P.S., 1079 Linbrook Rd., Oakville · Wednesday, Jan. 7: Pine Grove P.S., 529 Fourth Line, Oakville; Munn's P.S., 1511 Sixth Line, Oakville; Sunningdale P.S., 1434 Oxford Ave., Oakville · Thursday, Jan. 8: Forest Trail P.S., 1406 Pine Glen Rd., Oakville (6:30-7:30 p.m.); Parents with questions about the Halton board's French immersion program can contact Marcelle Faulds at the New Street Education Centre, 3250 New St., 905 6316120, ext. 437.
