Head of Grade 12 – Mr Walter

Grade 12

Hear ye, Hear Ye, We have finished week 2 of our return from midterm break. Senior jackets are here. The weather is not as warm. Predictions have been made! Rather, we would call them projections versus predictions. Have no fear students. None of your teachers are out to get you. We have used your artifacts of learning and projected a finished mark for this year. Your artifacts are assessments, summer work, retakes (of assessments), class participation and preparedness upon entering said classes. Yes, we see you all. We really do!

Something to keep in mind, while you all look nice in your Class of 2023 jackets, there is still a DRESS CODE to which you all must adhere. Yes, your sweatpants are expensive and comfortable. Yes, your jeans feel make you look cool. But NO.

• Only black trousers can be worn. o No jeans, no sweatpants, no yoga pants. • Mostly everyone has conformed to wearing the appropriate school shirts, and no more hoodies.

Thank you for not being difficult. There is a subset of you who insist on being nonconformists; however, if you are going to fight for something, please wait until you graduate. Go to a place in need of your services, and fight for freedom. Not the dress-code! There will be repercussions. Also, keep in mind that your refusal to acquiesce leaves a lasting impression of your citizenship and agreeability.
