School Fees:

U-Connect is a free program, and many of our activities are included for our students.  

Grad Fees for Grade 12 students are $75.00.  Other graduation events, which are optional, will be determined as the current groups of grads and their caregivers decide what they would like as events this year.

Legislation and Student Fees
The School Act requires that instruction in an educational program be provided free of charge to every student of school age who is resident in British Columbia and enrolled in an educational program in a school operated by a District. It dictates that schools cannot charge fees for anything that is referred to as “educational resource material.” These are all materials and equipment necessary to meet the learning outcomes or assessment requirements of an educational program provided by the District.

The District may charge fees for goods and services, as defined under School Regulation 265/89. These goods and services are provided by the District in accordance with Ministry Orders and the School Act section 82(3).

 

Financial Hardship
The District is committed to ensuring that no student of school age will be denied an educational program due to financial hardship. Within the fiscal ability of each school and the District, no student is to be denied access to programs, events or field trips that are aligned to and enhance the BC curriculum.

 If you have any questions about school fees, please speak with your administrator.
