Graduation Awards and Scholarships:
Applications are in the Guidance office (and online) for many scholarship opportunities, to help you pay for your post-secondary education.
It is well worth the time it takes to fill out an application!
Apprenticeships:
An 'Apprenticeship Information Session' will take place on Wednesday, March 7th, in the auditorium during period 4. Come to hear all about apprenticeship opportunities, how they work and what you need to get started.
Apprenticeships are a great way to earn money while you learn a skilled trade. To get started in an apprenticeship, you MUST have a high school graduation diploma, AND employment in the trade, (meaning an employer is willing to sponsor you as an apprentice)
The Employment Ontario Apprenticeship Office can help with getting started, and is located at
