By. Michele DeLorenzo A proposal to introduce a total French immersion program for Bowmanville kindergarten and grade one students will be examined by the Peterborough, Victoria, Victoria, Northumberland and Newcastle Roman Catholic Separate School Board. Interested parents attended attended a meeting at St. Stephen's Separate School on May 23, hosted by school board superintendant Dan Quinlan and French consultant consultant Aurora Mason. "The board is definitely in favor of French immer- sior^ if the people in the community want it. The par- ents' of 19 kindergarten and 21 grade one pupils in the area have completed the intention intention to register forms. The board agreed that 17 students would be required to start a class," Mr. Quinlan said. The separate school board began French immersion immersion classes in Peterborough Peterborough in the fall of 1981. Immersion classes will be available in Lindsay and Cobourg in September. Early total French immersion immersion means children in kindergarten and grade one are taught totally through French, leading to approximately approximately 50 per cent of class time in English by grade 5 or 6.

"There is concern because parents are unfamiliar with what is going to happen but there is a lot of feedback. Parents want to know what their child is doing and what they can do to help." Studies have shown that immersion programs are not just for the exceptionally exceptionally bright pupil. "The challenge challenge is there for any child. It's a question of drive and determination," Mr. Quinlan Quinlan said. The question of where the French immersion classes will be conducted was also discussed. "Classes will be held at St. Joseph's or St. Stephen's. We may use portable portable classrooms if space is not available but the younger students will not have to use the portables."

"Hopefully it will be opened by Sepetember, 1985," he said. One of the major concerns of parents is the continuation continuation of the course.

Bowmanville is in a growth area and decline in student registration is not anticipated. anticipated. Mr. Quinlan made it clear that the board is not trying to force.French immersion on anyone. "We feel the program has so many advantages advantages it will prove itself." itself." "Our recommendation is to start two French immersion immersion classes, grade one and kindergarten, in Bowmanville Bowmanville this September.
