FROM THE OFFICE
Student Advisory Committee
Anyone interested in giving some input on the Student Advisory Committee are welcome to come to our next meeting on Wednesday, April 3 at lunch in Mr. Cheung's room (Rm. 227).
Our topic of discussion at this meeting will be about opportunities for students to become engaged citizens. Any questions may be directed towards Mr. Cheung. Students from grades 7-12 are welcome.
Traveling Internationally?
Please let your teacher(s) or the office know if you are traveling outside of Canada and require access to your Brightspace. Regularly, Brightspace isn't accessible when you are outside of Canada, so we need to request access from EIPS for the duration of your travels.
Thank you! 😀
