Graduation Ceremony
As we get closer to our graduation ceremony on June 26th at 11am please help your grade 12 student keep in mind that there is a MANDATORY grad ceremony rehearsal in the gym at 8am on June 25th. We start this early to accommodate students writing the Science 30 Diploma exam at 9am on the day of the rehearsal. The graduation ceremony is NOT a ticketed event. Doors open at 10:30 am and seating is ‘in the round’. After your student has attended the grad rehearsal they will know where they are sitting. They can then tell you the section you should sit in (opposite them gives you the best view) when you arrive. The school does not organize and is not responsible for the graduation banquet however tickets for the banquet are currently on sale. Please contact the Parent Grad Committee for information on that event.

Homestay Families needed for the 2025-2026 school year
CPRS needs a few more homestay families for the 2025-2026 school year. Being a homestay family is an amazing opportunity for your family to makes connections and learn about another culture first hand. Our international students are highly motivated and very grateful for the opportunity to be in Canada for either a semester or a school year. Remuneration for families is $1375 a month. Respite care is available if your family goes away for the weekend. Please reach out to our team as soon as possible if you are interested. More information is available online or call Laura or Jolene at 403-.609-6072 ext 6220.
Introducing our Student Wellness Advisory Groups for the 2026-2026 School Year
Introducing our Student Wellness Advisory Group for the 2025-2026 school year. Throughout this year our new SWAG block has been discussed at School Council. In addition a dedicated information session for parents was held on March 13th 2025. You can find the presentation from that session on our website here. All students from grade 9 to 12 will be assigned to a mandatory SWAG class for the 2025-2026 school year. The class will run each Monday, Wednesday and on full day Fridays for 30 mins between A and B block. Attendance is mandatory and at least 80% attendance at SWAG is required to participate in our graduation ceremony, this is a similar requirement to needing 20 hours of volunteer experience to participate in our graduation ceremony. We are very excited to launch this initiative in line with the wellness goals of our Division.
Volunteer Hours
All CCHS students require 20 hours of volunteer service to participate in our CCHS Graduation Ceremony. These must be submitted by June 6th which is the date we calculate graduation eligibility. Our Career and Post Secondary Advisor, Mr. O, can provide you with the hours your student has already submitted. If you have hours to submit you can find the online Google Form HERE or you can continue to submit a paper record to Mr. O in student services.
CRPS Teacher Symposium
On May 7th our Lead Learner teachers will be absent from their classroom to participate in the CRPS Symposium. This gathering provides teachers with an opportunity for their input on their PD sessions on ½ day Fridays for the next school year. On May 16th all CRPS staff gather in their school staff groups to share learnings from this year’s ½ day Fridays and to work with their Lead Learners and Administrators to shape their plans for next year. All this work is centered around the Division Mission, Vision and our CRPS Shared Vision of Learning which guides all our work.
