Step 2 - complete the online registration form below from the QR code or on the Banting Guidance website - Wildcard 27 Gr 8 Registration.

Feel free to join us on our Instagram page @bantingwildcard for updates on Wildcard 27.

Please note: Because of the team-building nature of this event, students will not be able to arrive late or leave early. For groups to get the most out of Wildcard, they need to be present for the entire event. It is disruptive to the groups to have students coming and going. Please do not register if the student cannot be present for the entire event.

PLEASE NOTE:  When the departmental videos were created, we were not yet aware of the Ministry of Education new pathways for courses. In some videos, staff and students will mention "applied" or "P" level courses.  These no longer exist for Gr 9.  The only gr 9 courses are: academic (D), destreamed (W) and locally developed (L).
