Get Ready for Secondary: Grade 9 Virtual Information Sessions

It’s been a year unlike any other, but one thing is certain: Grand Erie’s secondary schools are ready to welcome future Grade 9 students! Information sessions will be held virtually this year, and secondary school staff are eager to ensure students and parents are supported throughout this transition process. The virtual information sessions begin with specialized programs. To attend a session from home, please follow the instructions provided for each school below as to how to access a virtual invitation. 

For Grand Erie Grade 8 students, information will be sent directly to students/families by the feeder school via a link prior to the date posted. Each secondary school will indicate if they are offering a Teams Live session, and how families may register for that session as part of the information shared.

For out-of-board registrations, please contact the school directly for information to be sent to you. We welcome and encourage non-Grand Erie families to connect directly with our secondary schools about all of the amazing opportunities that are available.

We are an Eco-School

Did you know our school is an eco-school? Well we are, and that means that our school is making efforts every day to stay green. Some of the things our energy efficiency group is doing include implementing eco-friendly browsers, starting lights out lunches every Monday and Friday, creating signs for lights and monitors, and adding important information to our school website about being eco-friendly. We're also having a fun sweater day where we’re lowering the temperature of the school by two degrees and we will all wear sweaters. We’re also adding Ecosia to all our browsers. Ecosia is a company that plants a tree for every forty-five searches on the internet. Students are also making fifteen signs and posting them around the school, to remind people to turn off lights and monitors. Sweater day will be held on the 29th of November, and the 16th and 17th of December. Remember to check the school website for more cool information about how we are going eco-friendly, and the steps to become a platinum school, and to watch a video about implementing eco-friendly habits. Always remember to stay green!

From,

The Energy Efficiency Team of École Confédération
