In the spring of 1959, the first shovel was given to the construction of a boarding school in Pointe-Bleue. As early as the beginning of the 1960s, the clergy offered courses in catechism, French and history.
The religious welcome children form Pointe-Beleue, but also from Wemotaci and Manawan. For the school year 1960-1961, they are 192, including 99 girls, in residence at Pointe-Bleue. The following year, they were 319, coming from several different reserves.
