École secondaire catholique Béatrice-Desloges or ESCBD (Béatrice-Desloges Catholic High School), is a French language high school teaching grades 7-12, which also houses a community child day care centre,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Pomerleau ) 〕 in the community of Orléans in the eastern part of Ottawa, Ontario (capital of Canada). It is currently the largest or second largest and most populated French high school in Ontario, either surpassing or coming very close to that of the Thériault Catholic High School located in Timmins.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Google Maps )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Google Maps )〕 ==History== The school is named after Béatrice Desloges, an early twentieth century Franco-Ontarian teacher in Ottawa who, with her sister Diane, successfully opposed Regulation 17 which aimed at rendering illegal all French language teaching in the province of Ontario.〔(Occupation de l'école Guigues à Ottawa )〕 The school opened its doors in 1997, in order to give more space to the overcrowded Garneau high school in Orléans, Ontario. The student population grew rapidly when the 7th and 8th grade groups were incorporated to the 9-12 group in 2001, and since then, the school has been undergoing expansion in order to accommodate the growing number of students. In 2006, it was announced that an entirely new three-story section would be built where the previous school extension stood, and would be entirely dedicated to the 7th and 8th graders, thus separating them from older high school students. In addition to this, it was announced that a modern amphitheatre would be built inside, meaning that the previous theatre could be removed. This allowed the expansion of the cafeteria, which had been largely criticized for failing to accommodate the amount of students over the years, and also allowed the addition of a new atrium, a gymnasium, and an exercise room.〔 Although most of the construction was finished by the end of August 2007, the amphitheatre would not be opened until the beginning of spring 2008, costing in total a near twelve million dollars.〔 On March 2, 2007, the school was awarded the Prix jeunesse (youth prize) by the organization ''Communications et société for World Social Communications Day'', for its unifying religious and artistic interpretation in "Le chemin de croix du XXIe siècle" (The Way of the Cross of the 21st Century). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「École secondaire catholique Béatrice-Desloges」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
