Gonzaga Memo to Families

Gonzaga’s Final Exams for Semester 1 will be taking place from Monday, January 20th, 2025 to Friday, January 24th, 2025. Given the fact that students have the option of rewriting their midterm, each exam could be 2.5 hours in duration. Therefore, regular classes will not continue during this time. However; any and all students are welcome to attend study hall in the LRC throughout the day. A detailed schedule with room locations for each subject can be found here. Any room disruptions will be posted on the classroom doors.

For students requiring accommodations, an individual schedule will be provided directly to them by a member of the Student Support Services team.

Semester 2 will begin on Monday, January 27th and it will be day 4 on the schedule.

Gonzaga has been granted TWEP hours that can be used up until March 31st for current Gonzaga students to avail of tutoring services from post-secondary students. However, we are having difficulty finding enough tutors. If you know of any past Gonzaga students, or any post-secondary students who would like to tutor current Gonzaga students for tuition, please send their contact information to tracyanngardiner@nlschools.ca.

Our Gonzaga Community is happy to note that the PUPS 2025 team is hard at work again this year. We are currently accepting gently used prom dresses, suits and shoes. We are also accepting prom-style jewelry and purses. The volunteer team has been working hard collecting, cleaning, repairing and organizing our current stock. Plans are underway for the first date and time for our for open house for all NL high schools students. If you have any items, please drop them off at the main office Gonzaga.
