Hard work pays off for teacher -- and students Continued from page 3 11 · Wednesday, July 4, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com He was previously teaching at Queen Elizabeth Park High School until it closed and he was part of the team that brought the French Immersion program to Blakelock, less than a decade ago. "It has been like a real phoenix reincarnation in a sense because we had to rebuild from scratch," he said. "All we had was the boxes and the books. We were 14 or 15 in our French depart- ment at QE Park with the science and the math. Then all of a sudden, we're only three teachers and we had to rebuild the whole program." He said the hope was to bring up the French Immersion programing to the same quality as QE Park, and he believes the team surpassed that goal. "We made it better. We adapted according to what we had at Blakelock. It seems to work simply because we're known as the French Immersion school in Halton, not just in Oakville," he said. Lachance said he puts in a lot of work as a teacher. He comes in at 7 a.m. and doesn't leave school until 5 or 6 p.m. He works nearly seven days a week, as well as the summers. Winning this award, he said, shows him that all the hard work he does is not wasted, and he leaves a legacy with his students. "It's not like winning a free coffee or Tim Bit at Tim Hortons. It's beyond that. It's the fact that they acknowledge what you do is beyond what is being done normally," he said. "You not only teach, you give (students) the thirst, the pleasure of learning, of doing more. This is something I do all the time and I push and I push and I push the kids to the max." Lachance received the award at a ceremony at Queen's. The award includes $5,000.
