Collège catholique Franco-Ouest is a French Catholic high school in the Nepean district of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located on 411 Seyton Drive in Bells Corners. It is an accredited school of the IB offering their middle and diploma programs.[2]
History
[edit]The school first opened to grade 8 and grade 9 students in September 1991 at 148 Meadowlands Dr West, in what was then the city of Nepean. It officially received the name of "Collège catholique Franco-Ouest" in December of that year. In 1992, the school received its students at the Sir John A. Macdonald building, on 2675 Draper avenue and taught grade 8 through 10 students. In 1994, teaching encompasses grades 11 and 12, and starting in 2001, 7th graders are admitted.[3]
In 1999, the school announced that it will move to its current location of 411 Seyton Dr,[4] basically swapping with St. Paul's High School that was located there at the time.
Between 2005 and 2006, the school went under extensive renovations worth six million dollars. These renovations have resulted in a new gym, an atrium, a chapel (later temporarily converted to a music room) and several new classrooms.
Sports
[edit]The 2023-2024 soccer team of Collège Catholique Franco-Ouest had an exceptional season, winning 9 of their matches with remarkable determination. Under the inspiring leadership of their captain, Darcy Cain, the players came together to overcome every challenge. With a solid defense, a powerful offense, and exemplary team cohesion, they not only shone throughout the season but also claimed the top soccer title in Ottawa. This victory will be remembered in the school’s history and highlights the importance of leadership and team spirit.
