Thanks to generous support from the Learning Foundation, along with added funding from Student Success and Student Voice, CHSS will be providing our grade nine and PLP girls with the opportunity to attend an overnight retreat at Wesley Acres Retreat and Campground in Bloomfield on May 16-17.  Activities will include physical cooperative challenges such as rock wall climbing, high ropes, low ropes and leadership games, as well as self esteem building exercises and discussions. 

Cost per student is $15.00 (covers overnight cabin accommodations, transportation, activities and meals) payable to either Ms. Prance, Ms. Browning or Ms. Gaylord.  Also, extra permission forms can be found in envelopes posted to both Ms. Prance's office door and Student Council's office door (room 160).  

The deadline for submissions is Friday, May 11th - so reserve your place asap, girls!!!!

During this month, Centre Hastings’ Hairstyling and Aesthetics program worked on an interesting and creative project: nail art! After either researching a design or creating their own, the students painted another classmate’s nails. It was a definite success with many detailed designs such as animal stripes, watermelon, panda bears, ladybugs, paw prints, and poke dots brightening up the nails of our centurions.  Keep up the great work ladies!

 This past week, and over the next few weeks, Guidance is hosting Course Selections for designated classes in labs throughout the school.  As Centre Hastings prides itself in being rich with a variety of elective course offerings to pique the interests of our amazingly diverse students, students are encouraged to look over selections ahead of time so that they can easily choose courses based on graduation requirements outlined in their 2012-2013 course booklets (and 'online' in the article below), and on those subjects that most intrigue them.

If any students have questions about what is needed/not needed for university, college and apprenticeship programs, they are encouraged to make a guidance appointment with either Mrs. Bonter or Mr. Thompson for clarification.  Our knowledgable guidance staff are experts at informing you on what courses are needed, what courses will add 'balance' to your timetables next year, and provide information on courses you may not even know about! 

Over the past few weeks, students have been picking the courses that they will be taking next year. Decisions about what courses will be running in 2012-13 are made based on course selections, so plan course selections wisely, Centurions!

Here is an online version of course selections, just in case you want review and replan what you are interested in...
