Commencement Flowers

Tickets for guests are now on sale, $15 per guest, using School Cash Online.  You can only purchase 2 guest tickets now.  Depending on the sales, we will offer more seats at a later date.  The earlier you purchase and fill out the google form indicating additional tickets, will be your spot on the waitlist.  It is NOT guaranteed that you will get all or any of the tickets you asked for on the waitlist, there could be a maximum number.  Ticket restrictions have been placed so we can accommodate as many people as we can in order to make this a memorable milestone.

Just a reminder that if you are attending the ceremony, you will need a gown and v-stole in order to walk across the stage.  If you do not have one, please go on School Cash Online to purchase one.  Our commencement ceremony for this year will be at Brighton Convention Centre, 2155 McNicoll Ave, Scarborough.  The ceremony will start at 10:30 am but all graduates should be present at 9:45 am for setup. 

If you would like to order flowers, we have a vendor that will take advance orders and pick up will be at the venue when you arrive.  Click on this LINK to order.
