The 2014-2015 GCW Course Fair was held Tuesday, 9 September. All 41 GCW trips were represented and teacher sponsors were available to share information and answer questions. In addition, the online GCW Program of Studies is now available on the ISB HS website.
Registration for the GCW courses begins on Monday, 22 September at 7 pm, for Grade 12 students. The registration windows for each grade are listed in the school calendar. Registration is done entirely online. More information on the registration process to come.
Students will provide their top 5 preferences in order and will be assigned courses based on time of submission. Once courses become full, students will be assigned their next preference. This makes the order in which students select courses very important. We ask that parents and students have conversations ahead of time about courses, especially what parents are willing to support financially. For students wishing to change courses after registration has been completed, please note that they will drop to the end of the list and will only be assigned a course that is available after all other students have registered.
Once registration is complete and all students have been assigned to a course, parent permission forms will be distributed which include specific course information, including cost. Parents will be committed to making payment as a condition of accepting courses. Final payments will be due on 11 November.
Additional GCW updates will be provided though Friday’s Parent Communication. Every course offers amazing learning and character development experiences for students. Read through course descriptions together and help find the course that is the best fit for your son/daughter.
