The Ministry of Education has directed that schools cannot charge course fees, except for a student activity fee of $22.00.  $3 of this will be refunded at the end of the school year when the student’s lock is returned.

 In addition, our teachers have found that the Language Arts and French programs are greatly enhanced by student use of consumable workbooks.   The total cost of these workbooks is approximately $40.00, however if the workbook is returned unmarked, the deposit of $40.00 will be returned to the student.
