The concept of a growth mindset and its importance in education.  Growth mindset is not just about effort, but also about trying new strategies and seeking input from others. We also learned that misconception of equating effort with learning, and the need to focus on the goal of learning and improving.

Teachers in helping students develop a growth mindset by appreciating their efforts and guiding them towards new approaches when they are stuck.

This video is specifically designed to capture the interest of kids in grades 5 to 8. It aims to address their curiosity about how they can enhance their intelligence and become smarter. The content of the video is engaging and interactive, making it suitable for children in this age range. It covers various topics and strategies that can help kids improve their cognitive abilities, such as problem-solving techniques, memory exercises, and critical thinking skills. The video also includes real-life examples and relatable scenarios to make the learning experience more enjoyable and relatable for the target audience.

 OJCS DELF exam success 100% 

“There is a floor but no ceiling “

This year grade 8 students were the first class writing the DELF exam in French language and those who took the DELF were 100% successful . 

They were so worried and stressed about it but they proved their resiliency and determination and were all successful. 

All parents were so grateful to receive an official French certificate that students will use for life and for their future allowing them to get any job in Ottawa that requires bilingual employees. 

All the best for our amazing students.
