WHAT'S NEW
Grade 10 Registration
Our current grade 9's should already have their 2012-2013 Grade 10 Registration forms completed and signed by their parents. This is a very important form and students require it to do the online course selection. SAL is coming to the school on Tuesday, April 17th to complete online registrations. Bev Facey will be here on Wednesday April 18th and Ardrossan on Wednesday April 25th. SAL will be coming back on April 24th for those students who are away and missed the initial online registration. Students must have their signed form with them to give to the high school counsellors.
