Yearbook Ordering Deadline Approaching
This year, our deadline for yearbook ordering is the end of February, as opposed to end of May as it was last year. If you haven’t ordered a yearbook yet, please find information on how to do so here.
2025-26 Instructional Calendar Approved
In order to support our families in your long-term planning, the 2025-26 Instructional Calendar has been published for your reference.
Semester One Textbook Return
If your children have forgotten to hand in any Semester One textbooks or course materials, please encourage them to do so in the Learning Commons as soon as possible. Semester Two students will need those resources. Once materials are returned, the deposit charged to families will be removed.
Lunar New Year Activities
This week our Chinese Language and Culture students together with our Asian Club will be hosting a variety of events for students to recognize the Lunar New Year. Please encourage your child to attend Wednesday and Thursday mornings before class, and at lunch!
Language Course Challenge
Grade 12 students hoping to complete a 30-level language course challenge this semester are encouraged to see Ms Roussy in Room 2103 and watch the portals for an information meeting this week. Students attend two Saturday writings, and earn up to 15 credits and a high mark for post-secondary.
April Diploma Exam Registration
In collaboration with Western Canada High School, Manning will be offering April Diploma Exams for the following students:
- Students in our ELA 30-2/ 30-1 hybrid course
- Students who have completed a diploma course but not yet written their exam
If you are one of those students, or have questions about Diploma Exam writing, please see Ms Waringer in the office. Students writing in April must sign up with Ms. Waringer. Deadline to sign up is Feb 14.
