School-Based Scholarships There are 25 scholarships available to graduating grade 12 students who are pursuing further studies in the fall. It is important to note that these sponsored scholarships are available only to Lindsay Thurber students and ARE NOT merely based on academics, but each has its own set of criteria. ALL students in grade 12 who are furthering their education through a Certificate, Diploma, Trade or Bachelor’s program, should pick up an application package to apply for these scholarships. They award monetary amounts that range from $100 to $1000. Criteria for some of the scholarships may include: minimum average of 60%

After School Study Sessions In order to assist students in all grades in preparing for their final exams, there will be after school study groups from Monday to Thursday, 3:30—5:00 p.m. now until June 12th. Students will have the opportunity to ask specific questions on course material that they are unsure about. This will aid students who have missed a unit, or need some clarification on facts, formulas, and procedures, in all subject areas. STUDENTS MUST PRE-REGISTER in the Career Centre in order to be provided with help on these days. There is no charge for these sessions and we hope that students will take advantage of this free one-on-one help.
Rock the Diploma There is still limited availability in Rock the Diploma weekend review sessions. Registration forms can be picked up at the school office, the Career Centre, or the Student Assistance Centre. Completed forms and payment must be returned to the Career Centre. Cost is $135.00/session.

Our goal is to assist students in finding part-time employment, apprenticeship opportunities, and permanent full-time employ-ment for some of our graduating grade 12 stu-dents. Students are strongly encouraged to have updated copies of their resumes to bring with them next week if they are looking for employ-ment opportunities.
