Thames Valley high schools are getting ready to offer students entering Grade 9 this fall a look into the secondary school experience with the board’s free, two-day High School, Here I Come! program.
Running August 19-20 and again August 21-22 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily, the program will teach students study skills, literacy and numeracy learning skills, the importance of time management and organization, and will go through the realities and anxieties associated with high school.
High School, Here I Come! also helps to encourage students to get involved in extracurriculars as a way to make friends and stay active in the school community.
The program is being offered at all Thames Valley high schools in St. Thomas and Elgin County including Arthur Voaden Secondary School, Central Elgin Collegiate Institute, East Elgin Secondary School, Lord Dorchester Secondary School, Parkside Collegiate Institute and West Elgin Secondary School.
Registration closes Wednesday, August 7th at noon.
