Your bubble group of 3 will be directed towards your cap and gown staging area. Once you have your cap and gown you will be directed to the auditorium in your bubble. The graduate will walk across the stage, the 2 guests will be able to take pictures ( please bring your own camera ) while on the stage. The bubble of three will be directed through front doors all the while staying in your bubble of three. Upon exiting the auditorium you will be directed outside for more pictures on the front lawn. You will return the gown, collect your swag bag and off you go for the summer !!
Asynchronous classes
On June 18 and June 21 your grade 12 classes will be taught Asynchronously to allow students to prepare and attend the day.
