A Message from the Dry Grad Chair
And
we are done!!! Certainly
not what we expected at the start of the year in September, but we
persevered, controlled the controllables,
we remained patient and optimistic.
Yesterday
was absolutely wonderful for not only the graduates, but for everyone
involved to make it happen. Together over the past 4 months we
collaborated, adjusted, and worked cohesively as a group. From the
staff of Claremont, to the Dry Grad Executive Committee, to the
Saanich Police, and UVIC, we created something that no one will ever
forget.
It
allowed us to think outside the box, and with an ever changing
situation, we knew it was going to be a challenge, but we knew that
we were not going to end this school year without something happening
for our graduates.
I
was proud to be Dry Grad Chair this year and, yes, although it felt
like a second full time job at times, I was so happy yesterday to
have the opportunity to witness all the graduates be celebrated at
the school and throughout the parade. “Under Promise and Over
Deliver”.. with any project is a success.... and we did that. All
the feedback from staff, Saanich Police,
parents, graduates, volunteers has been nothing but positive, and we
couldn’t have ordered a better day for weather.
So,
congratulations to
the graduates of 2020! Cheers to you all and wishing you nothing but
success as you move on to this next chapter of your
lives.
Sincerely,
Allison Dawson
Dry Grad Chair
Post-Secondary Institute Selections
Reminder to Grads, if you are moving onto a College or University in the Fall (Canada or USA), you MUST make sure you have created your BCeID account and submitted your PSI selection on the Ministry of Education website (this includes MOST Canadian and USA Post-Secondary Institutions). This is the way that your final OFFICIAL graduation transcript can be directly sent to your post-secondary institution in the middle of summer, when the final marks are uploaded with the Ministry of Education. Note: the transcripts from Claremont are year-end transcripts with final marks, but are not the OFFICIAL final transcript that PSI’s require. The link in on the Grad Page of the Claremont website, plus there is an excellent video with instructions on the Grad Page. Deadline to submit is July 10.
