This
is a very exciting and somewhat anxious time for our Grade 12 students. They
are busy making decisions about post-secondary plans that include education,
careers and vocations. In addition, they are concentrating on successfully
completing grade 12, applying for scholarships and participating in graduation
activities such as Commencement, the Grad Banquet and Dry Grad. This newsletter
includes important information to help both parents and students plan these
significant events. Please read this newsletter carefully so that you do not
miss essential information.
Important
events to keep in mind are:

Buses Reminder: All grads will be bussed to the
Graduation Banquet after the Parent Tea, and will return in buses back to the
school for the Dry Grad celebration!
Students will be bussed based on their table selections for the Grad
Banquet! Student are not permitted to
drive themselves.
I
hope that all grade 12 students will be able to fully participate in these
events as graduation from high school is a once in a lifetime experience. At
the same time, I want our students not to lose sight of the real goal: successfully
completing grade 12! In spite of
upcoming celebrations, it is important to remain focused on schoolwork; there
are still many assignments, tests and provincial exams in the immediate future! Like I told them in our last assembly: they
are still grade 12 students; they are not yet Grads!
My
wish for our grade 12 students is a successful year in partnership with safe,
fun and memorable graduation events. I look forward to seeing all of you and
your parents at these activities in June.

R. Hayes
