The Student Life

Aside from the religious education, the boarders profited from a classical and very high quality education where they were also introduced to the domestic arts as well as needlework. According to their individual tastes and aptitudes, they could study music such as singing, piano or violin lessons, as well as the dramatic arts. In the large hall, theatrical plays were regularly presented where the Bouctouche school students as well as the general population were invited.
