Gradfest is a celebration that is planned for the graduating class of
2010 and their friends for the night of grad.  We meet the first
Monday of every month at 7:00 pm in the NPSS cafeteria.  Our next
meeting is Feb. 1st.  We have parents to coordinate almost all of the
committees but are still looking for Grade 11 and 12 parents and
students to help out on these committees and on the night of grad.  If
you can help with making food, decorating, fundraising, activities…,
we can use the help.   We look forward to seeing you at the next
meeting.

Graduation Portrait Schedule is as follows:

â–¡ Monday, January 11th to Thursday, January 14th - 9 am to 6 pm

â–¡ There are sign up sheets to book your appointment time located outside the office.

□ Please be advised that there is a $10.00 sitting fee.  You will pay this to the photographer at the time of your sitting.

The Hockey class invited the International Students to skate with them on Tuesday. Ernie’s Source for Sports were kind enough to loan us some skates for the morning. For a lot of the kids it was their first time on skates.  The Hockey class gave them their first lesson today!  All the students had a lot of fun.

Course Selection Sheets are now available in the library and outside of the Career Centre. The 2009/2010 course calendar is online and there are a few hard copies available for viewing in the library, Tutorial Room and the Career Centre. All students planning to attend NPSS in the fall must complete and submit their course selection sheets to the Career Centre no later than Tuesday December 15th. Students are encouraged to take their course selection sheets home and discuss their academic plan with their parents.

“Time and Support is a new initiative at North Peace Secondary School this year. Time and Support is a 44-minute period of class time that runs every Tuesday through Friday from 8:45 to 9:29 am. The instructional time has been adapted on these days in order to accommodate this block of time.
