Marie received an Entrance Scholarship as the Creative Arts student with the highest academic average based on high school results, and Isabelle won one of the Bourses d’Excellence-Desjardins as the Creative Arts student with the highest Cote R scores in her first two semesters.

Recently, Donna Noonan and Janis Lundman were guests in the Film/Video profile’s “Portfolio” class. Donna spoke in detail about the job of production designer, overseeing locations and set design for feature films and TV series. And Janis gave the class valuable insight into the process of producing films and television. The two have worked on the TV series Bliss, St. Urbain’s Horseman, and Durham County, as well as many other productions.

The Film/Video/Communications profile recently had a visit from former students who were guests in the Portfolio class. They shared their experiences with our current fourth-semester students, who are all busy thinking about life after Champlain! The group of grads, who represented 10 different university programs, had plenty of practical advice about the university application process as well as first-hand knowledge about what things are like in the world of higher education. Our thanks again to Scott Berwick, Annie-Kim Brais, Marianne Desfossés, Camille Gagnon-Chalifour, Amy Hêtu, Chris Jadah, Tyler Jadah, Mike Paolazzo, Paul Richard, and Alexanne Verville for generously giving their time.

One of our DISA teachers, Ashley Miller, was recently involved in the exhibition LAND ART – which was sponsored by the city of St. Hilaire. The website for the whole show is here. The first image below is the work that was included in the exhibition. The second image, called Totem, is a piece from another of Ashley’s shows at the Vieux Prespetaire in Longueuil.
