Gr. 12 College Night
Wednesday, 26 August we held the Gr. 12 College Night. Our new counselor, Swati Shrestha, was able to Zoom in and introduce herself to the crowd. We happily await her arrival in person later next week.
The presentation offered an overview of where senior students are now in their college process, encouraged open and honest conversations between parents and students about the concerns and pressures, and urged students to take full ownership of the process. Of course, in the marriage between autonomy and collaboration, asking for help is always the mature and healthy approach–nobody gets through life without a little help sometimes!
If you missed the presentation, we have added it to our Resources page on our Google site as both a recording and a PDF of the Powerpoint..
Seniors, please do schedule your Senior Family Check-ins as soon as possible.
Sept 3 & 4 is the next Senior College Seminar. It is during your TOK or your Free. All Senior Seminars will be in MPB 1. The first part of each class will be required of everyone and then we will release those who are not using the Common App or UCAS (for the UK).
Our first Junior College Seminar is taking place on Sept.2, 6th period in the MPB 1, 2, & 3. All juniors will attend.
SAT Testing Saturday, 29 August
All students must bring their school ID to get on campus. They must bring their Passport and Admissions Ticket to gain entrance to the test rooms. No student will be admitted without both of these items. All phones will be turned off for the entire testing time and students may not access them until the tests are completed. We will let students in at 7:30am.
