ChatterHigh
It's that's time of year again Claremont!  Another ChatterHigh competition is on now and will run until May 13th. The whole idea of the competition is to make exploring careers & post-secondary options, health & financial literacy and graduation transitions a bit more fun!  Plus, as a school, we can win money and you, as a student or parents or staff could win awesome prizes too!  Please help us by visiting www.chatterhigh.com daily to complete your mini quiz!  The Justice Institute of BC has sponsored this competition offering a $1000 Grand Prize!  We won last year so let's do it again Claremont!
