• Math 12 graphical calculators  $150
  
• External Credit Exams (Advanced Placement)  $30 first exam, $20 second exam

Student Services

A $10 charge for student services is used by secondary schools for activities and assistance for all students.  Examples include:

• Student Council activities, such as dances
• School wide events such as school spirit weeks
• Positive behaviour incentive programs that recognize student achievements
• Motivational speakers on topics such as accepting diversity and accepting physical disabilities, leadership, and avoiding drinking and driving
  
• Student ID card
• Payment is required if participating in school sports (one-time only charge)

These opportunities are only made possible through the student services account, and hence this charge must be paid before participation in extra curricular activities.

Upon paying the $10 Student Services fee, students will receive their student identification card.  Photos for the card are done free of charge.

Newsletters will be emailed free of charge to parents who provide email addresses. No copies will be mailed. It can also be accessed on the website  https://www.sd57.bc.ca/school/chss/School%20Info/Newsletters/Pages/default.aspx

The yearbook is a student-produced annual record of people and events in and around the school.  You can also purchase it online from Friesens via ConnectMe: http://ybfriesens.com/stores

*March 3, 2023 is the deadline to order yearbooks. No purchases after this date. The school does not order extra yearbooks for sale.

Valedictory Ceremonies

Most schools with grade 12 students offer a valedictory ceremony near year's end.  The participation in such ceremonies is optional.  Students who wish to participate will be expected to pay the shared cost of such a ceremony, which is $100.  The grad fee for exchange students is $50.
