Administrators’ Message It’s been a banner year. Literally. Our athletes and teams fared very

well this year and if I draw special attention to this, it is because our

athletic program mirrors the successful year we’ve had in all area –

academics, service projects, concerts, clubs and committees.

Teachers and students are all a little tired right now, but it’s a feeling

accompanied by one of overall satisfaction in knowing that we can enjoy a well-

earned summer break for the efforts invested during the academic year. We

hope you’ll find in this edition of the Mot juste an informative and enjoyable segue

into summer. We are poised for the start of the 2016-17 academic year and our

annual summer information letter will be mailed out in mid-August.

First things first

Thank you, parents, once again, for your support and confidence throughout

the year. And merci, students, for your engagement throughout the year…it re-

mains our privilege to accompany you during your high school education.

We say aurevoir to our Class of 2016 graduates and to teacher Mme Julie Clark.

May you all find new challenges and successes in your new ventures next fall.

Thank you for helping make 2015-16 the rewarding year that it was.

We also want to take a moment to thank our newsletter Editor-in-Chief Mme Nan-

cy Kunkel for her efforts in coordinating our newsletter over the course of the

year. Merci beaucoup !

Chers élèves, nous vous souhaitons joie, repos, et satis-

faction pendant l’été ! Aux diplômés : Adieu! Aux autres :

à septembre!

The grade 12 provincial French Language exam average was 71.2 % for 2015-16. 91.5 % of students earned a

passing mark.

Grade 10 students were evaluated for their French language proficiency in preparation for the CPET French Lan-

guage Proficiency Certificate in grade 12.

27 graduating students participated in the DELF international French language proficiency test this year of which

26 students achieved the coveted B2 designation.

mark was 75.0 %.

CPET students participated in the classroom for the Concours d’art oratoire sponsored by Canadian Parents for

French and organized by the RETSD French Immersion administrators and the RETSD Divisional Languages Con-

sultant. Designated students competed at the school level and winners then represented the school at the divi-

sional level in April at the RETSD Concours d’art oratoire hosted by École Regent Park. Four CPET students won

their categories and went on to represent the school and the Division at the Provincial competition. Of the four

grade 10 level math courses.

To promote and encourage inclusionary practices for a safe, respectful and caring culture for all

students using the UNESCO and PBIS frameworks.

Our teacher advisory system has completed a 3-year implementation plan. The teacher advisory system is de-

signed to foster meaningful connections for students with adults in the building, and to provide students with

the information, support and resources required to graduate on time. The teacher advisory system will provide a

framework for delivering PBIS lessons in 2016-17.

Staff and school have incorporated strategy constituting final steps with the PICS (Profiling Inclusive Cul-

tures in Schools) in 2015-16 School Plan. PICS data, along with TTFM data (Tell Them From Me – Provincial

survey), is used to help determine our universal school wide expectations and will in large part influence

the direction the school will take when it continues the PBIS (Positive Behavioural Interventions and Sup-

ports) residency program in 2016-17.

Our students continue to make connections with the community through service learning: In December, Christmas Cheer Board hampers were delivered. Students collected and delivered an impressive 3010 lbs of food and raised $1173 under the direction of our Student council advisors.

7 students obtained a Community Service Credit at CPET this academic year having each volunteered over

110 hours each in the community.

Our UNESCO committee once again several projects besides participating in the UNESCO National Confer-ence in Winnipeg in April. They sent a team of students to work with Habitat for Humanity in May and they twice went to Siloam Mission to assist with the community organization.

in Winnipeg April 25-26, 2016.

Staff and students continue to raise awareness and funds for the Stansberry After School Daycare pro-

gram, an ongoing CPET initiative. and later over 60 students participated in our April 1800-minute Famine

for Bolivia overnight event. These events raised $4497.10. CPET will host a Stand Up for Stansberry Concert

in 2017 and have been approved in principle for a service learning trip to Santa Cruz, Bolivia to support

and work with students and staff at the Stansberry After School Daycare program.

As part of our Aboriginal Academic Achievement initiative, CPET is planning phase two of its school tipi for

school and divisional use. Staff advisor is coordinating a project to incorporate Seven Sacred Teachings

artwork in the tipi. Also as part of our AAA commitment, the Mentors at Lunch Program saw 12 CPET stu-

dents mentoring younger students from École Margaret Underhill.

Four staff members received four RETSD Divisional AAA training whose workshops included Best Practices for Aboriginal Students, Smudge and Tipi Teachings, Seven Sacred Teachings, Stereotyping, Residential Schools

Parent Advisory Council

Our Parent Advisory Council Chair will be stepping down after four years of direct involvement. New exec-

utive to be determined in September 2016.

2015-16 fundraising: Nil report.

2016-17 priorities

Next year’s school priorities will continue to focus on French language acquisition and French cultural

awareness. In line with provincial and divisional priorities, CPET school priorities will continue to focus on

BB Camp 2016 E. Miron

The forecast had our grade 9 students preparing for the worst as we loaded the

buses in the rain. But we were pleasantly surprised to get only a few light drizzles

on the first day and a calm and sunny second and third day at camp. About 70

grade 9 students and 6 teachers spent the first three days of June kayaking, ca-

noeing, climbing, hiking and swimming at the beautiful Lake of the Woods. Alt-

hough the nights were chilly for all (mice, forest tent caterpillars and humans alike)

and some suffered minor injuries, the students’ spirits would not be broken. As

has become the custom, our leisurely canoe paddle around the island quickly be-

came a race to the finish. Causing some friendly competition and mild splashing

by certain teachers. Many students and staff faced their fear of heights walking

across the narrow 32-foot-high bridge. A few aces of archery emerged nailing

some accurate bullseyes and some very courageous students braved the cool air

for a dip in the even cooler waters. There were Bonfires and sing-a-longs at night

with a few not so surprising song choices including Justin Bieber and Drake. After

lights out, the girls talked about boys, the boys talked about… well you don’t really

want to know, but everyone had a great time. BB Camp is the perfect way for our

grade 9 students to catch their breath right before they go into exams. Many grade

12 students reminisce about their time at BB Camp at grad and there is no doubt

that this group will be doing the same thing in three years

from now.

CPET Chess

Club

The CPET Chess Club held its annual Chess

and Blitz chess championship on May 9th,

2016 after school in the library. The regular

chess Omnium (Open) was a double-knockout

format which eventually saw two-time de-

fending champion Michael Klippenstein

emerge as the A-side champion for a third

time. Since Michael is a graduating student, he

now leaves the door wide open for other chess

players in upcoming tournaments.

The championship bracket results can be

viewed online at http://live.brackelope.com/t/

liv5h . Félicitations also to Quillon Simmons

and Tristan Smith who finished in 2nd and 3rd

place respectively.

Following the supper break (at the rate the

competitors inhaled their pizza I could tell

they were already in speed chess mode), the

chess club concluded the year with its year-

end Blitz tournament. The library wasn’t so

quiet as players frenetically pounded chess

clocks and even resorted to a little trash talk in

this fast-paced chess variant. This was a 6-

round Swiss-style format tournament and the

victor was, true to recent form, Quillon Sim-

mons who finished the tournament with 5 of 6

possible points.

I would like to thank graduating players Mi-

chael Klippenstein, Kieran Howlett, Tristan

Smith and Quillon Simmons for helping make

the Chess Club a success by having regularly

participated in the chess events these past few

years. The challenge is now put forward to

remaining and incoming students to take up

the mantle and keep the momentum going

forward next year.

Leadership Class Initiative During the month of April, our grade 10 leadership class took the initiative to help clean up the litter around

our school, and at Victoria Jason Park.

Our class was split up into groups, which were each assigned a section around the school area to clean up.

As we began cleaning up our section, we were surprised to find our garbage bags nearly halfway full within

minutes. And in most cases, the litter we found was only a few steps away from a garbage can. The most

common items we picked up were cigarette butts, Tim Hortons cups and McDonald’s cups. After about 45

minutes, all of the groups reassembled behind the school, each possessing nearly a full black garbage bag

of litter. We then headed back to our classroom to reflect upon our day.

What was once just a class assignment, turned out to be a rewarding, eye opening experience. It was

shocking to find that after cleaning up only a small area of our community, resulted in nearly 6 full bags of

garbage. It really made us think about how much even a small piece of litter can add up to. But also, it

showed us how something so simple as to throwing our litter in a garbage bin can make a big difference.

I highly recommend to everyone to take the time, even once a month to clean up around your neighbour-

hood. Even if it isn’t necessarily your garbage, we are all apart of a community that we should be proud of,

and tidying up your neighbourhood can make all the difference in a better environment. I’m grateful to have

had this opportunity and for the positive contribution we were able to make.

CPET Music News

Year in Review

Congratulations to all CPET musicians on a fantastic 2015-16 school year!

We have had a fantastic year of music making here at CPET. Some highlights include,

Grade 9 Fall Band Camp at Camp Assiniboia. With full band, special guest clinicians and great food, we had an awe-

some couple of days.

CPET choirs singing with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra at the Manitoba Centennial Concert Hall. It was a great

concert with lots of varied repertoire that was fun to sing.

Congratulations on a great Winter Concert in December.

Looking into spring, the jazz bands prepared for our annual trek to Brandon for the Brandon Jazz Festival. Before head-

ing off to Brandon, the jazz program put on our annual 2nd Annual Soirée de Jazz. It was a great night and virtually

every musician performed an improvised solo! Off to Brandon the jazz bands played great to a really appreciative audi-

ence and also got to see and hear lots of other great high school bands. If that wasn’t enough, the day after we got

back, the senior jazz band performed as guests of the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra.

The first Monday in May is Music Monday and CPET celebrated by recording some of our music, loading it up to

YouTube and sending the link out to families.

On our 3rd trip to Montreal, in May, 70 students and 4 teachers enjoyed the sights and sounds of downtown Montreal.

We had clinics with McGill University professors and had the opportunity to perform at Notre Dame Basilica. Some of

our students even performed with professional jazz musicians in the world famous, Upstairs Jazz club.

Our year ended with a fantastic Spring Concert. A couple of epic pieces by the Senior concert band, a Coldplay song

performed by the grade 9 band and choir together and a lot of great jazz solos.

Enjoy a restful and musical summer!

CPET Music Students Perform in Notre Dame Basilica, Old Montréal

Provincial Champs! - M. Williams

Our Track and Field team was small this year but very suc-

cessful. We had 8 athletes represent the Collège Pierre-

Elliott-Trudeau at the South Central Athletic Conference

Zone Championships. (Gillian Hayek, Brock Segal, Usna

Muhindo, Devon Poiron, Hailey Langford, Cassidy Hoyt,

Aaron Valencia and Mason Moorehouse). Five of these

athletes went on to represent not only the school but the

zone at the Manitoba High School Athletic Association Pro-

vincial Championships. Gillian ran the 400m and 800m

during the provincial championship winning the silver medal

in the 400m; Brock participated in the discus and finished

13th overall with a throw of 31.02m; Hailey Langford ran the

100m and finished 20th overall with a time of 13.84 sec-

onds.

Our varsity girls relay team of Cassidy Hoyt, Hailey Lang-

ford, Usna Muhindo and Gillian Hayek where ranked sec-

ond in the province going into the provincial champion-

ships. The girls’ qualifying run of 54.20 place them fourth

overall setting them up to be in lane six for the finals. The

girls ran the best race of their career where all aspects of

the race went well: the start was impressive, the hand-offs

were flawless and the anchor run finalized the deal with a

notable lead to finish the race in first place. They ran the

race in a stunning time of 52.79 winning the varsity girls

provincial championships in the 4 x 100m relay race. Pro-

vincial Champs!!! Great job to all athletes who participated

this year.

CPET Hockey & Ringette

Eighteen grade 9 and grade 10 players represented the Canadiens in April at the 22nd annual HomeRun Sports-Sisler Rookie

Classic tournament at the MTS Iceplex. The tournament provides the opportunity for students to sample high school hockey

and the camaraderie it fosters. The boys made easy work of disposing of the Glenlawn and Sisler teams but ran up against a

tough Westwood team in the third game of their pool round robin. As a result, the team unfortunately missed out of the

playoffs by a single tie-break criterion. CPET administration thanks Mr. Menard, Mr. Baril, Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. Blank for

coaching the team this spring.

2016 Rookie players were A. Altomare, D. Bates, C. Behun, M. Brown, J. Carvalho, L. Kaisser, E. Krywy, Z. Lameg, M. Liske,

K. Marshall, D. Moorhouse, M. Onyebuchi, P. Perchuk, R. Pharand, J. Suggitt, T. Vachon, J. Wiersema, C. Wootton.

Congratulations to graduating student Ben Naaykens who earned this year’s CPET Hockey’s Coach’s Award and to Brandon

Zastre who was chosen the CPET Male Athlete of the Year by virtue of his leadership and accomplishments in the Winnipeg

High School Hockey League this season.

The annual High School Ringette Tournament was held at the East End Community Club in April. It was our opportunity to

shine and show off our talent at the local rink for our school mates and fans. This tournament is held each year to give the

girls the opportunity to play with their classmates as many players play at different levels. The emphasis of team-play and

playing with girls at every skill level helps to create a unique competition for the girls. The girls put in a very good effort with

some very stiff competition. This year we had the opportunity to play Portage Collegiate, Garden City Collegiate and Collège

Beliveau. Unfortunately the girls did not fair well with their scoring opportunities to lose all three games.

Team roster was: J. Murphy, G. St. Laurent, M. Rollwagen, J. St. Laurent, H. Martel, K. Melville, S. Langlois, C. Karalash, T.

Lewis, S. Muller, K. Rogers, J. Takenaka, S. Taylor, H. Melville

Important Notice to Parents from Winnipeg Transit

Winnipeg Transit’s new electronic fare card, peggo, which replaces paper tickets and passes, will be available for

purchase for the senior passenger fare category starting July 4, 2016. Full Fare (adult) and Youth fare categories will

be available for purchase in August. All passengers over the age of 6 require their own card. Even casual riders are

encouraged to get a card so they always get the lowest fare possible – paying cash is less convenient and costs more

per ride than using peggo.

Where can I get peggo card(s)?

In Person 7-Eleven and Shopper’s Drug Mart stores or at City of Winnipeg Customer Service Centres

see winnipegtransit.com for a complete list of locations.

Online winnipegtransit.com or by calling 311 – credit card purchase only and allow 2 weeks for processing and

mail delivery.

Don’t delay in getting peggo cards for bus riding members of your family and avoid the

anticipated line ups. Paper products will be removed from circulation soon and we expect

to sell as many as 250,000 cards to Winnipeg bus passengers over the launch period.

What does it cost?

Each reloadable card costs $5. A variety of e-cash and e-pass fare product options are available to be loaded onto

your peggo card.

Why register your card(s)?

When sold, all peggo cards are unregistered. Detailed instructions on how to register cards are provided at the time

of purchase. Registering your card is easy and comes with many benefits such as:

Recover the cash value or days remaining on your card at the time you report your card lost and have it trans-

ferred to a new peggo card.

Set up automated reloading of e-cash value or an e-pass that is regularly charged to your credit card.

Easily obtain a record of qualifying purchases/rides taken for the Public Transit Tax Credit.

School age children are eligible for reduced fares until the end of high school but they must register their reduced

(youth) fare peggo card to qualify for those reduced fares

Grade 12 students who graduate in June may continue to ride the bus using their reduced (youth) card until it ex-

pires September 15th, at which time it will no longer work. This leaves over two months after graduation to buy a

full fare peggo card or a post-secondary peggo card (if continuing their education).

Launch Rebate:

Anyone who registers their card during the launch period and uses it on a bus within 90 days of purchase will be

reimbursed the $5 fee paid for the card by an automated loading of a $5 e-cash rebate onto the card.

Visit winnipegtransit.com or call 311 for more details

RUNNING FOR MENTAL HEALTH

In April, three students joined the SHOPPERS LOVE. YOU. Run for Women. These

students chose to support the women’s mental health programs at Mood Disorders

Association of Manitoba by attending training sessions every week for two months.

The goal? Learning about the link between running and mental health. Women are

three times more likely than men to suffer from depression. Research indicates that

one in four women will experience some form of depression in their lifetime and aero-

bic exercise is of benefit to anyone suffering from a mental illness.

They could not all attend the official SHOPPERS LOVE. YOU. Run for Women 5k run

on May 14th but they all ran together on June 9

th, celebrating mental and physical

health. We are pleased to see students

making a change in their community and we

are hoping to run with a bigger group next

year.

Youth Drama Festival

On May 5th, some of our students participated in the

46th Youth Drama Festival, le Festival Théâtre Jeu-

nesse at the Franco Manitoban Cultural Center on

Provencher Boulevard.

The students can write their own play or adapt an

existing one, and this year, I am very proud to say that

Kierdree Shebaylo wrote the play once again with the

support of the troupe. It was called “D’ange heureux”,

a pun, which translates to happy angel and danger-

ous. It is a dark and mysterious comedy based in a

mental institution. The spectator has no time to get

bored as it is full of actions and murders. The play is

about different kinds of metal illnesses and in particu-

lar multiple personality disorder.

All the actors, Sam Bouchard, Luke Molensko, Vicky

Tang, Teegan Gillich, Emma Espey, Stephanie Baha-

mon, Pierce Schneider, Michael Klippenstein, and

Kieran Howlett, did a wonderful job playing their

characters. At the Festival on May 5th and also on

June 14th in front of the whole school, they surprised

the crowd with the level of intensity in the text and

with their acting.

I should also mention the great job of Taylor Franks

and Hailey Hadaller who worked behind the stage as

technicians for the lights and sound effects.

There were three judges (professional actors or play

writers) who each assessed a particular aspect of the

play and, after each representation, posed the actors a

series of questions to help them evaluate the play.

At the end of the festival, they gave out various

awards and this year, thanks to Kierdree Shebaylo, we

won the Excellency Reward for best text for the sec-

ond time!

Congratulations to all the FTJ students!!

2015-16 Honour Roll Félicitations to all of our deserving students who have met honour roll criteria for the

2015-16 year. To qualify, students must have earned an 80% average or higher with no

mark lower than 70% in any given course.

Parent Association Council The end of June brings joy, relief, satisfaction and perhaps for some, uncertainty. Joy because, well it’s June and

summer vacation and the summer sun is just around the corner. Relief for students that school is done and exams are

just a memory. Satisfaction knowing that we parents made it through another year of late night parties, missed cur-

fews, last-minute exam cramming, empty wallets, empty fridges, and empty gas tanks. Uncertainty for graduating

students and their parents as a new chapter in their lives begin to unfold.

This was my last year as PAC chairperson as Neeve graduates in a few days. For seven years I have enjoyed the

conversations that the meetings have generated. I really felt that parent input was valued, and Ron Cadieux and

Michelle Williams were always open and willing to discuss topics that mattered to us. I learned much about the “inner

workings” of CPET and all the incredible things that this school offered all students (because we all know how respon-

sible our kids are with getting info back to us!)

I am very proud that both of my children had the opportunity to attend Collège-Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau. I would like to

thanks the CPET administration and entire staff for their support, kindness and dedication towards my children.

Homework wasn’t always handed in, one child was guilty of repeat tardiness, and eye-rolling and sarcastic remarks

were jokingly made daily by my other child. But in spite all of this, both of them constantly talk about their favourite

teachers, losing the beloved football on the school roof and questionable conversations overheard by horrified teach-

ers. “Remember when______, and ‘Guess what Mum!” frequently starts these conversations. I secretly roll my own

eyes as I listen to the stories for the umpteenth time but at the same time loving it as clearly my kids both have very

fond memories of their time at CPET.

I urge parents to become more involved at CPET. You will show your children that their education is still valued and

important to you. As they start spreading their wings towards independence, they still need us to catch them when

they fall.

Enjoy a well-deserved summer,
