We give you lots of useful information...but what you do with it is up to you now! Please make sure you "Like" Tupper 2012 on Facebook if you want to receive the latest updates.

Welcome to you last year of High School!

On this page and on Tupper 2012/ Facebook you should find some really useful information to help you this year—and in your future post-secondary life planning. Please read this information carefully, explore other sources (like the Official websites for each post-secondary institution) and think for yourself.

We are no longer directing your path, although we will help light the way!

To be successful in your post-secondary planning, you must be informed. I strongly encourage you to take ownership by: attending any school tours we will be offering, visit the Career Centre as much as possible, visit the websites of your chosen schools and the Open Houses and Information Nights that they will be having throughout the year, and contact the advisors at those schools to make sure you have the latest information. You should anticipate ongoing updates from post-secondary institutions as they often have changes.

Grade 12 is the year where the students who pursue excellence really see the benefits of their hard work. Excellence is: doing your very best not just doing enough to get by, attending all classes (and on time), living ROARS, keeping your priorities in check, not making excuses, completing your work on time, and placing ‘needs and responsibilities’ over ‘wants’.


It’s going to be a good year!
