Attention Grade 12 Students – Post Secondary Opportunities:

• Grade 12s:  Many of you have received scholarships and bursaries for university and college in the fall. In order for this good news to be printed in the graduation program, you will need to provide Student Services with a copy of the letter you received regarding any and all awards. You can scan and email it to your guidance counsellor or bring in your original letter and we will make a photocopy. Provide only information for awards you will be accepting.

• Any grade 12 students who are planning to attend university this fall may be interested in a 2 day workshop being offered at St. Mary’s University in August – which helps prepare high school students with writing skills, thesis development skills and critical thinking skills – everything you will need to use at university. The workshop is for students attending any university, not just SMU.  Check the wall outside of Student Services for information on how to register for this valuable opportunity to put your best foot forward at university in September!

• Open Houses are not considered school-based activities; missed classes due to attending these events will be counted towards your attendance.
