Sudbury – On September 29, 66 grade 7 and 8 students (56 boys and 10 girls) from eleven Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) schools took part in the 8th annual CSCNO golf tournament held at the Twin Stacks Golf Club in Coniston. This competition enabled the talented St-Denis (Sudbury), St-Joseph (Sudbury), Félix-Ricard (Sudbury), St-Augustin (Garson), Jean-Paul II (Val Caron), Notre-Dame (Hamner), Ste-Marie (Azilda), Alliance St-Joseph (Chelmsford), St-Paul (Lively), St-Antoine (Noëlville) and Saint-Joseph (Espanola) golfers to benefit from a friendly competitive encounter with fellow students from neighbouring French Catholic schools.
The four-player team from Val Caron’s École Jean-Paul II claimed the top prize with an average score of 50.25. École Félix-Ricard (Sudbury) followed in second place with an average score of 54, École Ste-Marie (Azilda) in third place with an average score of 55 while École Alliance St-Joseph (Chelmsford) came in fourth with a 55.25 average score.
In addition to the team results, three boys and three girls earned recognition for their individual efforts.

Mrs. Lyse-Anne Papineau, Director of Education at the CSCNO, strongly believes in the merit of these competitions. “Our elementary schools’ sports and intramural leagues enable our students to strengthen their athletic and social skills in a French Catholic environment. While these quality activities contribute to the health and well-being of our students at the elementary level, we also focus on excellence in our secondary schools, as can be confirmed by our students’ success at the regional, provincial and national levels.”
The Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario offers a French Catholic Educational Program that is widely recognized for its excellence. The CSCNO provides a quality learning environment and academic program that runs from early childhood to adult education, with some 7,000 students in 27 elementary and 10 secondary schools.
