Thanks to the 250 families who filled out our Smudge Information Form. If you did not already do so we encourage you to fill this out on behalf of your student now. Students in our Aboriginal Studies 30 course will begin their class learning about smudging and will have the choice to participate in this cultural activity on January 29th during block D.

Textbooks - your ticket into your exam! But … you still have to write on your scheduled day!
The average single high school textbook costs between $80-150. Each year CCHS spends a lot of money replacing lost textbooks. In an effort to reduce this drain on our financial resources we will be collecting in textbooks at the entrance to our exam room each day. A student’s textbook for each subject will be their ‘ticket’ into their exam for semestered classes. If your student forgets their textbook or has lost it they are still required to write their exam on the scheduled date. All textbooks are signed out via our library to your student’s account and so we have accurate records as to who has and has not signed out a textbook. Textbooks not returned on exam day (or prior to) will be charged to student fees in Parent Portal. Students in year-long courses are only expected to hand in those textbooks in June.

No device with any internet connection is allowed into the exam room even if it is not being used. In addition students may not use any device with internet capability during exams.

Please, remind your students they must not bring cellphones, bluetooth devices (including smartwatches, headphones etc) or any device with any internet capability, even if it is NOT BEING USED in the exam, into the exam room.
