In order to graduate, students must complete the following Graduation Transitions requirements:

CAREER AND LIFE – Graduation Transition Plan and Interview
Each graduating student must complete and submit a TYPED Graduation Transition Plan assignment which demonstrates their readiness to move on as young adults in the community after graduating from high school. The assignment requires students to research post secondary schools, suitable careers, finances, health and wellness. The Graduation Plan is due on Thursday, November 30th, 2018. Please hand in to Ms. Morabito, Ms. Neves or Mr. I. Steko in Room A233.
In addition, each graduating student must participate in a Graduation Transitions Interview before they leave Burnaby Central. Students will reflect on their life so far and explain their future plans. They must be dressed professionally and will need to bring their resume. Lastly, students must also present one piece of evidence that demonstrates their personal growth. This year, interviews will take place on Friday, January 25th, 2019.
All students are welcome to drop by Room A233 during period 3 and meet with Ms. Morabito, Ms. Neves or Mr. I. Steko if they have questions or need support in satisfying their grad requirements.
