We would like all of our Grade 12 students to participate in these events. Students, however, must meet some basic expectations to be eligible to participate. Our expectations include:
- attend all of their classes regularly and on time
- follow ROARS (our School Code of Conduct)
- address outstanding grad fees of $100 for Ceremony and $110 for Dinner Dance (optional) by May 15 deadline
We encourage you to have a discussion with your child about these expectations. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the members of the graduating class of 2025. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our expectations for your child, please contact me at 604-713-8233. Thank you for your support in making these last few months of grade 12 a successful and enjoyable experience for your child.
