Secondary students from two Burnaby schools took top honours in a provincial French-speaking contest called Dites-le en vidéo, or in English: Say It on Video.
Six Moscrop Secondary Grade 9 students swept the podium in their categories. Additionally, a Grade 10 student at Burnaby Mountain Secondary placed second in her category.
In the contest, put on by Canadian Parents for French, students were invited to submit recordings about topics ranging from their favourite hobby to their perspective on current events.
