Hi there!
Wow! You are ready for grade 8! What an exciting time... And a little bit nerve-wracking.
But that's okay! YOU ARE READY. What's most important is that you know where to go when you have questions.
Normally, grade 7s tour Duchess Park in April so they can get familiar with the school, teachers, and other students. But we are in HISTORY now. Our usual transitioning is restricted because of COVID and Social Distancing. But that doesn't mean we can't do some things online.
How about we take a virtual tour of Duchess by doing a scavenger hunt through The Duchess Park website?
Your sources of information to find on the Website will be:
- Presentation Power Point for incoming grade 8s and other students new to our school.
- A Really fun Art Video that shows kids in action doing all kinds of art.
- Course Description Guides -
- The Grade 8 Course Description Guide describes the Grade 8 Program and courses.
- The Grade 9 - 12 Course Description Guide describes all the courses offered at Duchess and
explains the Grad Requirements
- The Staff Directory and all their web sites.
So have fun - And remember, staying home and away from others is not forever; this is just for now." Dr. Bonnie Henry (2020).
