Grad events are quickly moving along.  All photos and fee collections are now complete.  Students who missed the photos and have not paid their fees have now received two letters from the school.  If these students do not contact the school before April 26, 2018 we will assume they do not wish to participate in the graduation ceremony.  With approximately 275 students participating in graduation, there will only be three guest passes per grad for the ceremony at the Sanderson Centre on June 28, 2018.  Due to the large graduating class we do not anticipate any extra guest passes.  Students are encouraged to ensure they have checked on the required diploma requirements for graduation:  30 credits, 40 hours of community service hours and fulfilled the literacy requirement.  Please note:  Grad Prom is Friday, May 25, 2018 at the Best Western Brant Park Inn between 5:30 and 10:00 p.m.  Tickets are $50.00 and will be sold April 30th to May 4, 2018.  Please see the April Grad Newsletter on St. John’s College website.  If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Camilleri.
