Hello everyone,
So hard to believe it is May already, Grade 12s are determining dry grad activities and the plants from our last fundraiser arrive this Friday – please make arrangements to have them picked up before 4:00pm as the plants may be Mother's Day gifts.
Grade 12s, please note we have a grade-wide meeting tomorrow during flex in the commons room to determine and finalize our dry grad activity.
Student graduation invoices and participation documents will be available soon, Monday, May 9th latest. Invoice amounts need to be settled by May 18th, 2022.
Here is what your celebration weekend looks like …
** Grade 12s, your cap, gown, tassel and/or honour cord may be picked up early during the last week of May so that you may have photo sessions with your family and friends. It will be your responsibility to bring all these loaned items with you on the day of your commencement celebration - Saturday. The school will not have any extras if you forget to bring an item with you on Saturday.
Commencement practice will be Friday at lunch, bring a lunch, this rehearsal will start immediately after the bell – we will practice when and how to walk into the ceremony and where and how to sit during the commencement. ALL graduates are expected to attend the rehearsal.
