¬ GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

NEW - Treats for sale

Bring your loonies and toonies on Thursday to support Claremont Robotics. They'll be selling chips and candy bags at lunch in the student lounge.

Course Changes

Course Change Forms cannot be dropped off without the student seeing a counsellor.  Whether you are requesting to add a course or drop a course, and even if your teacher says you can join their class, you still need to see a counsellor. The counsellors are working hard to accommodate drop-in appointments at this busy time, but it is great if you can make an appointment by seeing Mrs. Watson in the Career Centre (Room 217). Thank you!

Registration for this year's Regional South Island Skills Canada Competitions will be open soon!  Online or face-to-face competitions will be held, covering areas like automotive, baking, hairstyling, welding, electronics, pipe trades, job search, photography, and more...  Competitions will be in March, with the deadline for registration mid-February. See Mr. Bussoli in the Career Centre (Room 217) if you are interested in competing.
