Grade 12

GRADE 12's:

You've almost made it!  It's a big year for you this year!  Enjoy your year and be the leaders we know you can be:)   

All the necessary info that you require for graduation, college and university applications, scholarship deadlines, and anything else pertaining to your final year in high school will be posted here.    Make the most of your graduating year!!!

Things you need to make sure you stay on top of:

1. Scholarships/Bursaries- We can only provide the information.  You must do the legwork!  For example, scholarship deadlines are ongoing.  They will not allow late submissions.  Please read the scholarship requirements thoroughly, start early and give yourself enough time to acquire what you need.    ALSO- Don't forget to look for LOCAL scholarship opportunities!  Ex. Parent's place of business, etc....

2. Gr.12 Individual Meetings occur during the month of September.  Please see us again if you've made any changes to your post-secondary pathway that could require timetable changes.  

3. Still require community service hours?  No time like the present.  Get them done!  You can then submit hours directly on our homepage!

4. Application sessions for Ontario Colleges or Universities are generally open Mid-November.   Links to these sites can be found in the Post Secondary section of our website.  You are encouraged to apply on your own, but if you have any questions, please see guidance for clarification.   

5. University applicants (www.ouac.on.ca) will require an individualized envelope containing personal usernames and passwords.  See Guidance for your individual envelope.  The Ontario University Application Deadline for equal consideration for competitive programs is always mid-January.  However, students can still apply for many open programs after this date.

**Note:  Your application fee covers 3 program choices only.   If you want to select more than 3 choices, you must pay for each additional choice.   FYI- they will not process your application until the fee has been paid.

**Reminder: You require a minimum of 6 Grade 12 U or M courses to apply.  And each program will have their own specific pre-requisites.

6. College applicants (www.ontariocolleges.ca) should have all the info they require to apply on the website.  Simply create an account and get started.  The Ontario College Application Deadline for equal consideration for competitive programs is always February 1st.  However, students can still apply for many open programs after this date.  Students will need their OEN and SSN to apply.

**Note:  Your application fee covers 5 program choices, but there is a maximum of 3 choices at any one given college.   You are NOT able to purchase additional program choices.   FYI- they will not process your application until the fee has been paid.

7. For information regarding Apprenticeships/Dual Credits/Co-op opportunities, please see Mr. Paul (room 1026).

8. Know what you have and still require for graduation!  A Potential Grad list will be posted by Guidance after Semester 1 final marks are in.

Good luck!
