click on the photo to see more pictures. Luc Lefebvre teaches primary French at Sautjuit School, Kangirsuk. He lives two houses down the street from my place. He’s a great conversationalist, with a good sense of humor and is also physically fit. Having pleasant colleagues is an essential part of maintaining a good morale in the school. Luc, like many people who end up working in the north, was born in a small town, far from the city and close to the wilderness. I asked him to talk a little about his experience.

In June, during a break between flights, I met with Andre Dauphin at the Kuujjuaq Inn and he told me a little about his background and his experience of being principal in Aupaluk.
I can say from first hand experience that he is an excellent principal, because he offered encouragement and inspiration to the teachers, especially during the darker months, when it is important to keep up the morale. It showed at the end of the year, as students worked hard to complete their exams.
