January- Updates for Grade 10-12 students/parents

Education Planner BC will be hosting an online event on January 20th from 7pm-830pm for Delta parents called Parents as Education and Career Coaches. Interested parents can register here: https://sfu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwvc-2grD4jGtGOHIaj8bQBXhTuJqh-Y0gq

Post-Secondary Viewbooks
Most of the university and college viewbooks that are designed for high school students are available digitally on their websites this year, instead of being mailed out to SDSS. I have attached some updated digital viewbooks under the tab Post-Secondary Info (then click on Post-Secondary Viewbooks).

Let me know if you can't find a viewbook online for a particular school and I can look into it for you. 
There are also some schools that have specialized viewbooks for International and Indigenous students- if you are interested, let me know.

Post-Secondary Virtual Campus Tours
We have not been doing any campus tours this year through SDSS due to COVID, but most universities/colleges have virtual campus tours available on their websites for interested students. These are usually available in the Prospective Students or Future Students section of the website. 

For Grade 12's: all online courses have to be finished by June 30th this year for post-secondary admission.
