May's Virtue is Responsibility
Being responsible means others can trust you to follow through with your commitments.
You accept accountability for your actions.
When you make a mistake, you offer amends instead of excuses.
Responsibility is the ability to respond appropriately and to make smart choices.

| As you may be aware, as a result of the cancellation of optional provincial examinations, the Provincial Scholarship Program has been revised. Graduation Program Examinations Scholarships will be awarded based on students' performance on the five mandatory provincial exams: English 10, a Math 10, Science 10, Social Studies 11 (or Science Humaines 11) and Language Arts 12. To be eligible for a scholarship, students must achieve at least a "B" (73% or higher) final mark -- provincial exam and school mark combined in one of the Language Arts 12. |
Students must achieve at least one "A" (86% or higher) and three "B's" (73% or higher) on the four of their best provincial exams (can include a Language Arts 12).
The examination rewrite rule will be relaxed for one year (until August 31, 2012) to allow students to rewrite a required exam to improve their scores. |
Grad meetings are held every second Tuesday of each month @ 6:00 PM in the Student Lounge.
Pac Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month @ 6:00 PM in the School Library.
