GRADUATION PROGRAM EXAMINATION SCHOLARSHIPS

The Graduation Program Examination Scholarships reward graduating students for academic excellence in their provincial examinations from grades 10-12.

As a result of the cancellation of optional provincial exams, the Provincial Scholarship Program has been revised. This means students must achieve a final mark of 73% or higher (provincial exam and school mark combined) in one of the Language Arts 12 (Communications 12, English 12, Francais Langue Premiere 12 or English 12 First Nations).

They must also achieve at least an “A” and three “B’s” on four of their best provincial exams (can include the grade 12 provincial English exam).

The exam rewrite rule has been relaxed this year to allow grade 11 and 12 students the opportunity to rewrite a required exam to improve their scores. You will need to sign-up in the school office if you would like to re-write any of your grade 10 or 11 provincial exams.
