There are more than 450 programs active in the province that are geared to youth who have athletic and academic abilities and are recognized by their sporting federation. Local boards, such as the Lester B. Pearson and the English Montreal School Board offer Sport- Études through schools like Lester B. Pearson High School in St. Leonard and Pointe Claire’s John Rennie High School, respectively. The program covers a wide range of sports in team and individual disciplines as the academic side is the constant, while the sport can differ. The participants need to be categorized as an ‘Espoir’, ‘Relève, ‘Élite’ or ‘Excellence’ level athlete. Taking part in Sport-Études is no easy task but there are methods in place to help the student- athlete succeed on both the academic and athletic side of the equation.

It was noisy, chaotic, riveting and fun as 700 keen and driven students and their robots pushed, lifted and rolled their way to success at the 13th Annual CRC Robotics Competition, February 20 to 22, 2014. Thirty-one teams from twenty-eight high schools and Cegeps participated in a roof-raising competition that is one of the liveliest and most entertaining high tech contests around. "The Robotics Competition is a great event,” said Vanier organizer Stephen Newbigging. “It’s always amazing to see what the teams come up with in terms of their robots and their kiosks. The sky is the limit, or in the case of MacDonald High School, which always has an imaginative approach to the competition, the roof of the Sports Complex was the limit with a kiosk that was almost twenty feet high!” Organizers were thrilled with this year’s entries and impressed with the kind of cooperation demonstrated between the competing schools and the teamwork among the participants. Everywhere you looked there was a flurry of activity: teams were assembling and hosting their kiosks, groups of students huddled over their robots, going back and forth between their creation and a tool box, making final adjustments before the heats; others were carrying their prize robot onto the playing field.
