Valley East parents and students braved the cold Wednesday night to attend Bishop Alexander Carter Catholic Secondary School’s Grade 9 Information Night held in the St. Anne School Gymnasium. The St. Anne site is slated to undergo renovations and will be the new home of Bishop Alexander Carter CSS in September 2003. The school is currently accepting registrations for grades 9 and 10 for next year. Grade 9 registration packages can be picked up at the River Road Campus in Val Caron or at the following elementary schools: St. Anne in Hanmer, St. Mary in Capreol and St. Charles in Chelmsford. The grade 9 registration package can also be downloaded from the school website in the Courses section. Registrations for grade 10 are accepted in person at the River Road Campus or by telephone at 897-5722.

Attendees enjoyed a presentation detailing the plans for the new school and took in a uniform fashion show. Guidance representatives were on hand to explain grade 9 course selection and diploma requirements, and Bishop Alexander Carter principal Guy Matthieu was available to answer any questions about the new secondary school. Three lucky students got a jump on their wardrobes for next year with door prizes that featured school apparel by McCarthy’s.

Parents and students are always welcome to contact Bishop Alexander Carter Catholic Secondary School for more information.
