44th Annual French Contest

44th Annual French Contest
Posted on 05/02/2025

Beginning in 1978, the Brock-Niagara French Contest/le Concours de français Brock-Niagara provides a unique opportunity for upper-grade high school students to participate in the annual French contest.  

This year 40 students from across six of Niagara Catholic secondary schools demonstrated their French language skills through a variety of activities. 

Students were challenged on different interactive language activities developed to test language proficiency and received a guided tour throughout the campus where the activities took place. Students participated in an escape room, French culture trivia, researching at the Brock library and created a skit at the campus store. This was a great way for our secondary students to get used to life on campus and the post-secondary experience. At the end of the activity students enjoyed a luncheon before proceeding to the Award Ceremony, during which the highest student achievers were recognized.  

Thank you to the Brock University students in the French language program for your help facilitating the event for our students!
