Each year we host a one day Post Secondary Orientation for our students, however, this year due to COVID19 we were unable to host this event. This year we needed to think outside the box to determine which students would win a laptop. So yesterday, we placed the names of all our approved post secondary students into a bin and video recorded the process. In the video you will find out who the 10 lucky laptop winners are and will be contacted by Amberly Makokis.
