I am not sure I want to stay in the French Immersion program. What can I do?
It is normal to ask yourself these questions. The first thing to do is to talk about it with your parent(s) or guardian(s), with a French Immersion teacher or with your counsellor. If your parent(s) or guardian(s) agree with your decision, ask them to communicate with Department Head of the French Immersion. You can then discuss of your options and make the best choice for you
