Hello Everyone,
Over the past 22 years, I have dedicated myself to the education of all children, continuously striving to enhance my teaching practices regardless of my role. Currently, I am privileged to teach French, History, and Geography to grades 6-8 students at OJCS.
In my role, I focus on two main areas in French instruction: aligning with the Ontario National Curriculum and preparing students for the DELF exam. I am pleased to share that since my arrival at OJCS, I advocated for and received substantial support from Ms. Gordon and Dr. Mitzmacher to acquire essential resources for introducing these national and international programs. Their unwavering commitment and investment in books and learning materials for our intermediate levels have significantly enriched our educational offerings.
As a certified DELF trainer and examiner, I collaborated closely with the Centre Culturel Français d’Ottawa to coordinate and oversee the DELF exams at our school. I am thrilled to report that all our grade 8 students achieved 100% success in the DELF exam for the second consecutive year. This accomplishment validates their French language proficiency and enhances their academic and professional portfolios, opening doors to opportunities in 160 countries where DELF certification is recognized.
The DELF exam evaluates students’ abilities across listening, speaking, reading, and writing in French, providing them with official recognition that lasts a lifetime. This certification is crucial for future educational and career pursuits, often being a requirement for admission to francophone postsecondary institutions and recognized by employers globally.
I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all our grade 8 Extended French students for their outstanding achievement in the DELF A2 exam of 2024. Your dedication and hard work have not only brought you personal success but have also contributed significantly to our school’s academic excellence.
Warm regards,
Wanda Canaan

Good morning, Parents
As shared before the break, we will be moving forward with the A2 DELF registration process this week, on Wednesday, March 13th, 2024.
I will guide your child through the system and the following information will be requested when they set up their personal account (just so they can be prepared):
- First names
- Last name
- Gender
- Phone
- Address
- Postal code
- City
- Province
- Country
- Date of birth
- Health Card Number (along with the version code)
It’s all pretty straightforward, but we wanted to make you aware of what they will be sharing. Again, the testing date will be June 5th, 2024 and there is a fee of $125.00, which will be paid by e-transfer at etransfer@theojcs.ca (please share your child’s name and the word DELF in the note/memo area).
A non-refundable fee of $75.00 will be charged for cancellations and test date changes. Please note that the Alliance Française Ottawa has stated that no refunds or test date changes will be accepted after May 10th , 2024.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Wanda

Dear Parents,
The DELF is an internationally recognized certification of French proficiency. It certifies the student for life at the level they wrote the exam, and enriches the student’s educational or professional portfolio. DELF certifications at certain levels are required for acceptance into certain high school and postsecondary institutions.
The benefit of DELF
The benefits of completing the DELF proficiency exam are: Official proof of a student’s French language skills. Recognized in 160 countries. Recognized by universities, employers and the Canadian Federal Government. The certification is valid for life. Helps students set future language learning goals.
The exam measures a student’s ability to use French in everyday life. Students’ French skills are measured across four areas: Listening; Speaking; Reading; Writing.
Hope to see you (virtually) on Tuesday 13th at 7.30 pm.
Best Regards,
Wanda
