1. I went to this school for five and a half years of my life. From the age of four to eight in the years 2012 to 2018. And I just want to say that it was the most god awful terrible schools that will ever be experienced by anyone. Your school catchphrase that was plastered in front of the building was “non frontières” or, translated to English “no borders” in an attempt to unite people of all races. While ironically containing some of the most racist people I have met. They weren’t all hostile to me but there were a lot of people who would be passive aggressively racist to me, as an example : one day I was just minding my business in I think the second grade when a little girl, out of nowhere, exclaimed to me “are you more black then before?” or when is was constantly bullied and a bully told me that if I told his mom about it she wouldn’t believe it because she, and I quote “didn’t believe coloured people”. Another terrible condition I had to tolerate was the bullying, some caused by racism some caused by simply bad people, it got to the point where I felt suicidal and trapped in a constant loop of bullying to the point where my father had to call the police and the only thing they did to the main aggressor who had bullied me for years, was giving him a two-week suspension. What is a two week suspension supposed to do to stop him from bullying me, you basically gave him a two week vacation to plan his revenge. I could go on but for the sake of brevity I will continue to my next point on why this school is not only the worst school but also the worst place ever to be in general. My final point on why this school is terrible is because in the first grade I was sexually assaulted by another student without knowing. At the time I was young and didn’t know what sex was and what was sexually appropriate in certain situations, so when someone asked me to take pictures of their private parts, I obliged, not knowing the consequences of the actions I have been convinced to commit. And since I was the one who owned the camera I was the one blamed for the act, for many years I believed that the whole thing was my fault even though I had no idea what I was doing at the time, people lectured me about sexual assault and how it was bad and how I should never do this in my future even though I was the victim. One final thing I’d like to add is that whenever I felt suicidal I’d be sent to a psychologist that was completely useless, instead of addressing the problem they’d explain the concept of what an emotion is or telling me to just “calm down”, instead of treating me like a human with feelings I felt talked down to, and thinking that there were no options for help and so I just kept all of it to myself, never reaching out to anyone, and falling into a seven year depression, all this started from one school, that caused a chain reaction to create all of this childhood trauma. I eventually couldn’t take it anymore and my family and me had to move to Ottawa in 2018. Even if New Liskeard
   has amazing and beautiful natural scenery whenever I visit I feel a bittersweet feeling in my heart. If I could go say something to my bullies, the teachers who didn’t care when I told them about my bullying, and everyone who had ever wronged me in my time at the École élémentaire publique des Navigateurs I would say “Fuck you” proceeded by several other words that are to graphic to write in this text, my comment, on the shit-show that is the École élémentaire publique des Navigateurs.
