WHAT'S NEW @ ALPHA
Grad Leaving Ceremony
Alpha’s 2019 School Leaving Ceremony will take place on Sunday, May 26, 2019 at the Bill Copeland Centre.
Calendar Discrepancy
Please note that there is a discrepancy between the Calendar in the Agenda Planner and the online calendar for May 23 and May 24. Please note that the online calendar is the correct version…Grade 8 Core Competencies Chats and the School Leaving Rehearsal are taking place on Friday, May 24 (and not Thursday, May 23).
Attention all Grads
Attention Grads! A friendly reminder that your GT Packages are due this Friday, May 10th!
Please submit them to Ms. Gillam & Ms. Lo in student services.
Thank you.
Poetry in Voice / Les Voix de la poésie 2019
Alpha is proud to share some great news with the community! Avril Brigden, grade 10, has been selected among 10 000 contenders across the country to recite a French and an English poem. She had to perform in front of a professional jury including the Governor General’s Literary Award for Poetry winner, Cecily Nicholson…also from Burnaby! Avril ended up in third place in the bilingual category, meaning a $500 prize in her pocket and $250 worth of poetry books for the school!
The event took place in Winnipeg from April 23rd to April 26th, 2019. The bilingual event was a great success, gathering students from different horizons with unique stories, displaying the diversity of our country.
Thank you, Avril, Alpha is so proud of you! What an honour!
Watch the recitations, including Avril’s starting at 57:36 here: https://www.poetryinvoice.com/competitions/nationals
Grad Group Photo
GRAD GROUP PHOTO: At approximately 6:00 pm on the night of the Dinner Dance (Wednesday, June 26, 2019), all of the grads will be directed up the street to Marina Square, where a professional photographer will take a class photo. Parents may also take photos, but the photographer’s shots take precedence. After the photo, all grads will return to the Westin Bayshore Hotel and enter the dining room. Only ticket holders will proceed to the dining room. This is an aerial map of the location:
