DID YOU KNOW?

Toolkits have been created for all of the core courses in Secondary 4 and 5? Some of these Toolkits have been around for a while (ANG 5101-5102-5103), others have recently been updated (ANG 4102) and new ones are now available (ANG 4101-4103). These Toolkits were created to help students with the key elements of the courses. They can be found in the RESOURCES section of each course. Please check them out!

Thank you to Geneviève Bouchard, Chantal Frechette, Danielle Gendron and Caroline Levasseur for their work on the new ANG 4101 and ANG 4103 Toolkits as well as students Kevin Racine and Lydia Thériault-Côté for their contributions on the ANG 4101 Toolkit.
