STUDENTS’ UNION

A Students’ Union Executive for both Junior and Senior High shall be elected in early September and shall consist of the following members:

President                                                Sports Representative

Vice President                                       Social Convenor

Secretary                                                 Room Representative (if a grade is 

Treasurer                                               not represented on the executive)

All students are members of their respective unions once they have paid their union fee. The fees for the school year will be announced in September.

The unions represent the students and are instrumental in maintaining high student morale through the various functions they organize.

On an ongoing basis money has to be raised in order to run a good union program. We appreciate the support the community has always given to these fund raising events.

SIGN-OUT PRIVILEGES

  Junior High Students:

                        Grades 7-9 students are not allowed to sign-out themselves. 

Parents are expected to come to the office to sign-out their child before they leave the school.

High School Students:

Grade 10 & 11 students can only sign-out if the office receives written permission for each occasion.  Students who leave or sign out without this permission will be considered “Skipping” (Please see policy on Skipping)

  Grade 12 students can only sign-out if they have no more classes to attend for the day – correspondence and PAVE courses count as a class.  When students sign out they must leave the school and not return.  All other sign-out privileges will require written permission from parents for each occasion.  Students who are 18years old may sign-out without parent permission however they must have a Doctors note or a legitimate reason if they are going to miss any classes.

  Only Town students are permitted to sign-out at lunch in order to go home.  A note at the beginning of the year will be sufficient for Junior or Senior High students signing out at Lunch.  Bussing students or students who bring vehicles to school are not permitted to sign-out and leave for lunch – unless a note is written for each occasion.  Standing letters of permission for this will not be accepted.

Mid-terms and Final Exams

During Mid-terms and Final Exams - junior and senior high students will only be allowed to sign-out if they do not have an exam in the afternoon.  Senior High students may sign-out without a note; however junior high students still require written permission.  Students are not allowed to leave the school then sign back in again unless they are town students going home for lunch.  It is expected that if a student is signed-out, they are signed-out for the day.  Town students may sign-out immediately after an exam and go home.
