Complementary Courses – Term 2 & 3
We are currently working with students who are not yet registered in their Term 2 complementary courses, which begin on December 8, as well as their Term 3 courses, which start after spring break.
Most classes are at capacity, and while we do our best to place students in their top choices, this is not always possible.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we complete the registration process.

The show will be in April at Centennial Highschool.

Auditions:
Students interested in participating in the Shrek Jr. must attend the audition December 9th after school from 4:00-5:30 pm. No experience is necessary! Please come to the audition prepared to sing a song (for only about 30 seconds) that you feel best shows off your voice. Please do NOT sing a song from Shrek the Musical. Please come to the audition in clothes you can dance in. Students interested in being a part of the stage crew should also attend the audition. Break a leg!
Drama Club is every Day 1 at lunch:
Bring your lunch and play some drama games!
