Arthur Ford School

Naomi Stoffman

Arthur Ford P.S. is a fantastic and safe school. Although our gym isn't as big as we wish, our yard and Nature Park make it a fun and exciting place to be. Ever so often, a problem occures, but hey, nobody's perfect!

There is a great amount of trust and satisfaction at Arthur Ford, for not only we do have a program called "Peer Mediation" but we also have incredible teachers that find the time to listen to the problems that arise in our yard.

I think we speak for most of the students and staff, when we say that Arthur Ford is a great school, we're very lucky to be here, and we have the utmost respect for it!

Sincerely,
Diana Minev and Erin Riley

This land was once called Niakwa and buffalo roamed here. So our school changed its name to Niakwa Place School.

Our school's sports teams (basketball, volleyball) are called the Panthers. Our school colours are blue and gray. Our motto is "A School of Champions."

We have a Home Page on the Internet. The address is http://www.mbnet.mb.ca/~niakwa/index.html

Niakwa Place also has a variety of teachers and helpers who are all friendly and willing to help.

We think our school is a great place for learning and building education.

Baie-Comeau high School is an English school serving the educational needs of students in kindergarten through to grade 11. Although its student population only numbers 120 and the school is located in a semi-isolated area, students and teachers are proud of their school and the various dynamic programmes offered to them. Electronic mail has been used in the school since 1992 when we became part of a Small Schools Telecommunications Network established by the Ministry of Education. Currently, teachers and students are involved in many pedagogically-related activities that cut across the curriculum.

Baie-Comeau itself is located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River near the mouth of the Manicouagan River. It is situated 400 kilometres east of Québec City and 250 kilometres west of Sept Iles. The major industries in the town of 30,000 include Reynold's Aluminum, Hydro-Québec, pulp and paper and the port facilities.
