I hope everyone has had a great summer, and that you're excited to start the new 2015-16 school year here at OT!
This year, OT is once again welcoming several exchange students from Europe who will be here until the start of November (this year, all students are from France). In the spring, their exchange partners from OT will head to Europe for 3 months to attend school and experience life there. If you are interested in studying abroad on an exchange such as this in the future, please come see me in room 116 (or upstairs in the Moderns workroom). I love helping to make these programs available to students, because I participated in the same exchange in high school, and know first-hand how it can benefit you!
I'm excited to start the new semester! My schedule for semester 1 is as follows:
Pd.1: FSF4U-- Grade 12 Core French
Pd.4: EPS3OE-- Grade 11 Presentation Skills (ESL)
Pd.5: LWGBD-- Grade 10 Introductory German
This is the first time OT has offered German in many years, and I'm really looking forward to introducing this fascinating language and culture to the OT community!
For all returning students: welcome back! For all students who are new to our school this year: welcome! You'll soon find that OT is a great place to be (if you haven't figured it out already)!
