Graduation Ceremony

Your hard work deserves to be recognized. At Outreach Programs, we are incredibly proud to host a graduation ceremony for our Grade 12 students every June.

This is a highlight of our year—a small, formal event where staff, students, and families come together to celebrate your resilience and academic success. It is a moment to pause and reflect on how far you have come.

To participate in the ceremony and walk across the stage, you must be on track to meet the requirements for your High School Diploma.
