¬ GRAD 2024

!!IMPORTANT!!! – Your SD63 Student Accounts Will Be De-Activated in July

This is very important to our grade 12s (and ANY student who is leaving the Saanich School District).  Your student Google Accounts will be de-activated in July, so students will lose access to their Google Drive data when they leave Saanich Schools. To

ensure you can take your important data with you, please follow these INSTRUCTIONS.  TAKE CARE OF THIS BEFORE THE END OF JUNE!!

 

Extra Grad Ceremony Tickets

All of the extra tickets for the grad ceremony are sold out.  For anyone who did not get a ticket for the ceremony at UVic, they can still watch the ceremony online (the link will be put onto our school website) or in the UVic Farquhar Auditorium foyer on large TV monitors (there is limited seating, but the space is large).

We also ask that if anyone cannot use their purchased ticket on Grad day, to please return it to the Ticket Centre, so that someone else can use the seat.
