Graduating students are welcome to complete and electronically submit the "Graduation Award/Bursary Profile Form". This will be available after the March Break. Please complete by May 21st.

Students who submit the profile will be considered for various in-school awards which are quite modest in their monetary value. Some awards are recognition only.
