EXTRA CURRICULAR NON-ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES
It is important to participate in school life and get involved. You will carry the experiences from high school with you for life. By joining clubs and teams you develop friendships, participate in healthy lifestyles and gain valuable knowledge for future endeavours. You may also find employment opportunities and scholarships based on the variety of activities you participate in. Most important, it is FUN! Care about your school culture and participate.
Pay your student fees to participate in school activities. Student fees this year are $50.00 which includes your yearbook. If this fee cannot be paid, please see administration or guidance. We want you to participate and have fun.
Listen to announcements to see when clubs and teams are starting up. Ask the front office or guidance where to locate teachers involved with the activity you are interested in. Find out more information about joining. Listen to announcements and get involved. It's FUN!
Each activity will set their own fees.
