Auburn Drive High

March 11th, 2020

A note regarding vaping and smoking: As per smoking by-laws passed by HRM in October of 2018, there is no smoking in or near public buildings. At Auburn Drive High School there is a line that is clearly marked for the correct proximity for those who are of age to smoke and/or vape. All smokers must be behind this line. There are no exceptions. This includes the parking lot and student vehicles on school property- both are prohibited smoking and vaping areas. Any student who does not meet this expectation will be referred to their appropriate VP.

 

Guidance:
Any students in grade 11 who have an average of 90 or above are encouraged to apply for the Lt. Governor award. This award is given to a student who exemplifies commendable service in the community and school and also possesses leadership skills. Please outline this in a letter to Ms. Hudson, you may attach a resume. These are to be handed in to the main office by no later than Tuesday, March 24th.


Make sure to check your scholarship deadlines! They come up pretty fast and furious between March and April. March break week is a fantastic week to get ahead on those applications not due until April. How good would it feel to have it all done way before it was due?
