Students earn credits for all courses passed at the Secondary IV and V levels. The course codes identify the type of credit earned (Secondary IV or V) and the number of credits earned. The first number indicates the type of credit and the last number indicates how many credits

In July, at the end of Secondary IV and V, the Quebec Government sends a Relevé de Notes which states how many credits the student has earned to date.

These courses will allow a student to enter the general programs at CEGEP such as Social Studies and Humanities. However, each CEGEP demands prerequisites for certain profiles (for example, Pure and Applied Science or Health Sciences). Please contact our Guidance Department for more information.

Grad Information

November 30, 2009

Grad Bowling took place last Tuesday, November 24th, and was huge success! Over 60 grads attended and had a ball (pardon the pun). We had supper at Scores restaurant on St. John's and some great prizes were drawn.

Plans are presently underway for Grad Ski which will be taking place February 5th - 8th, 2010, at Smuggler's Notch in Vermont. Information will be provided next week; a deadline has been set for December 15th.

During the week of December 14 - 18, a presentation will be made to the grad class by Velcia Scott & Lisa Auerbach from West Island Pilates. They have an exciting offer that combines Zumba, cardio Hip-Hop, and a prom dance. More details will be available next week.

Grad Year – The pinnacle of a student’s trek through secondary school is an exciting one for students, and an expensive one for both students and parents! John Rennie will be sending more detailed information home for parents of students of Secondary IV and V later in the school year to inform them of the estimated cost of grad year, as well as providing valuable do’s and don’ts from years of experience. While activities and prices vary from year to year, the following list outlines some of the traditional activities and their estimated costs.

Please note the costs relating to the Grad Ball do not include tuxedo rental, cost of a gown, limousine rental and any hotel room accommodations. We encourage students to fundraise for grad (and other school-related) activities during their high school years through Student Council fundraising. Proceeds earned by the students are deposited into their own school accounts.
