Happy 25" Anniversary |!

The 2004-2005 school year will feature events celebrating the 25"
Anniversary of francophone education in British Columbia and the
FPFCB.

That’s right! It’s been 25 years since the inception of the Immersion and
Francophone Program (Program cadre de frangais, as it was known at the
time). The program was instituted in 1979 in nine school districts, providing
services to some 232 students. Throughout the years, the francophone program
has continued to evolve with the opening of the first public francophone school
in 1983 (Anne-Hébert), entrenchment of francophone parents’ rights in the
1987 School Act, passage of Bill 45 to create a francophone management
system for the province in 1997, etc.

These events reflect only a small portion of the dynamic evolution of the
francophone education system, which today boasts 37 programs in 26 schools,
providing services to more than 3500 students. We have every reason to
celebrate!

The 25th Anniversary poster and slogan were unveiled at Ecole Rose-des-
vents in Vancouver on October 7. The poster design was inspired by the work
of Myriam Verly, a 9-yearold at Rose-des-vents, and the slogan,

“25 years...Imagine!”, was suggested by Elise Cliché, an 8-
yearold from Ecole Victor Brodeur in Victoria. Both students
were the happy winners of the contest organized by the FPFCB
as part of the 2004 Semaine de la francophonie.

There are numerous events planned during
this school year to celebrate the 25th
Anniversary. Parents, students, teachers, 4
administrators, and members of the ‘“Q4
community are invited to join in. For more
information concerning the 25" Anniversary
celebrations and a complete listing of
activities, visit our website at www.fpfcb.be.ca.
