Graduation Information 2024/25

COMMENCEMENT INFORMATION:

Date: Wednesday June 11, 2025

Place: Burlington Convention Centre - 1120  Burloak Drive

Time: Grads to arrive for 6:00 pm, ceremony begins at 6:30 pm

Due to the high number of graduating students and hall capacity limitations, each graduating student may invite up to 4 guests. We welcome and support all parents/guardians. Staff will be at the door greeting and directing families as they arrive to the side entrance at 6:00pm. We do not issue tickets as it is a first come first serve seating.

Gown packages were distributed to students over the past week. Graduates are to arrive at 6:00 pm through the main doors for check in, they will be shown where to line up. It is important that Grads bring or wear their gown, cap and stole.  Students must be wearing these items to take part in the ceremony. 

IMPORTANT! Please note that there is no secure place to store personal items during the ceremony. This means purses, phones etc. We ask that you leave any personal items with your invited guests, or leave them at home.

To ensure the ceremony flows smoothly, we have arranged for Edge Imaging to photograph each grad as they walk across the stage. These pictures will be distributed to students in early July with their diplomas. We ask that guests sit back, relax, and refrain from leaving their seats to take pictures.  If you would like to take additional photographs with your own camera, please feel free to use the stage after the ceremony has finished. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and consideration in this arrangement.

Congratulations Graduates, Class of 2025!
