The Student Council is engaging in their annual fundraiser this year with their clothing order. The official Gonzaga Merchandise Store is now open at the following link: https://gonzagavikings.itemorder.com/shop/category/463030/.
Students and families will be able to go online to choose and pay for their clothes/items from today until Friday March 7th at 11:59 pm. THERE WILL BE NO ORDERS PROCESSED AFTER THIS DEADLINE. This includes graduation sweaters. All graduate names have been posted outside of Mr. Cluney’s office this week and will remain until Monday, March 3rd. Students have been asked to verify their names/spelling no later than Monday, March 3rd. If any changes are to be made, students are asked to notify the school secretaries. All clothing items purchased during this order will be delivered to students here at Gonzaga in roughly 6-8 weeks. This is a great opportunity to pick up some Gonzaga swag for the whole family and to help support the Gonzaga Student Council initiatives this year! This will be the final clothing order for this school year.

As part of its ongoing commitment to enriching student experiences, the Department of Education offers provincial opportunities to Grade 10 students through a variety of programs. One such opportunity is the Adventure Program, a four-week summer bursary open to Grade 10 students, regardless of their level of French (beginner to advanced), interested in learning French at Collège Saint-Charles Garnier (Laval Campus) in Quebec City. Bursaries are paid directly to the institutions and cover the cost of tuition, room and board, instructional materials, and all compulsory activities.
We would like to inform you that we are still accepting applications for this program. We would like to give as many students as possible the chance to participate, so we kindly ask that you encourage students in your school to apply as soon as possible. Applications can be submitted through the following Google Form. Please remind students to use their school email when accessing and submitting the form.
Please be advised that, if selected, students will be required to pay a registration fee to the institution; however, this fee will be refunded upon successful completion of the program. Additional information about the Adventure Program can be found on our website.
Should you or any students have any questions, please feel free to contact Brigitte Allain at adventure@gov.nl.ca.
