A REMINDER TO STUDENTS & PARENTS:
It is the student's responsibility to research their own award opportunities, including requests for all supporting documentation, such as transcripts (which must be requested in the guidance office), reference letters, essays, etc.
Guidance will post all award opportunities that come through our office in the grade 12 google classroom; however, there are others available, both provincially and nationally, which students can research on their own. You can also make an appointment with Ms. Rachel to discuss scholarship opportunities.
Please do NOT wait until the last minute to request a transcript and allow for 24 hours from time of request. Due to confidentiality, we do not send out transcripts automatically. Students must see guidance and request that transcripts be sent.
