Transcripts/Portfolios

Final Transcripts will be faxed AND mailed right after graduation. I will leave a list at the main office of where they are sent. An "official" copy (with the GMCS seal) will also be in your prize envelop at Graduation.
If you need one in the future, we can get you a copy; just let us know if an "official" copy is needed, or if a faxed copy will suffice.

PORTFOLIOS...sad to say, only 9 were passed in for scholarship applications. The in-house scholarship committee PLUS several outside committees wouldn't even consider your applications without them. Considering I spent an entire Intervention rotation with all grade 12s on these, I was truly dissappointed.
Portfolios will be placed on display at Graduation, and can be picked up AFTER the ceremony.
Keep them with you! Several past grads have told me they still use their portfolio for resume and job applications. They will be most useful, even down the road!

Don't forget, student loans are now online... www.studentaid.gnb.ca
Summer employment forms..."SEED applications" can be picked up at Helen Johnson's office, new B & G Club...mine are all gone!
Enjoy your summer!
