Support French Learning at Home - Join Us for Ciné & Céréales

Ciné & Céréales Postponed

Due to the potential Alberta Teachers’ Association strike beginning October 6, Edmonton Catholic Schools is postponing the Ciné & Céréales event originally scheduled for Saturday, October 4.

A new date will be shared once it is confirmed. If you have any questions please email, Ahmed.Seif@ecsd.net.

Join us for Ciné & Céréales on Saturday, October 4, 2025!

French Immersion families, you're invited to a morning built around connection and learning.

While students enjoy the movie Ron ne va plus (Ron's Gone Wrong) in the gym, parents and guardians will participate in a variety of workshops focused on supporting French language learning at home.

This new event was shaped by your feedback and is part of our ongoing commitment to walk alongside you in your child’s French Immersion learning journey.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to this fun and practical morning full of easy-to-use strategies to build confidence in literacy and language at home!
