Unfortunately due to the current pandemic this year’s graduation looks a lot different than it ever has in the history of this school. Here is the message for the SSRCE regarding the official graduation of the Class of 2020:
We are pleased to be able to celebrate our 2020 grads and their accomplishments this month. Due to the current worldwide pandemic, our school activities, events and ceremonies have changed to ensure we reflect the best advice and guidance of our Public Health officials.
As the school year comes to a close, it remains very important to us that we find alternative ways to highlight the hard work and accomplishments of the graduating class of 2020. Although we cannot celebrate in a group setting due to public health protocols, our schools have developed unique ways to recognize our grads. These are not meant to replace graduation ceremonies, but instead, offer a form of recognition while we stay within the parameters of the Celebrating Graduation Guidelines as developed by the Department of Education with Public Health.
Conditions under the exemption include:
· attendees must arrive in a vehicle
· all passengers in the vehicle must be from a single household or household bubble
· graduates can be out of their vehicle to do things like cross a stage or take part in a parade of graduates as long as physical distance (two metres or six feet) is maintained between all graduates while they are out of their vehicle
· organizers must communicate clearly with attendees in advance and ensure other public health protocols, like physical distancing, are followed.
A full list of the conditions and protocols under this exemption can be found at https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/community-celebration-graduates .
We have five high schools in our region who will be celebrating the same way, with pre-booked appointments for an individual ceremony. There will be a photographer onsite to capture the moment that the grad crosses the stage and receives their diploma. Also, a video will be prepared and sent to families afterwards.
We hope the families, friends and community members of our graduates will join us in celebrating in unique and creative ways that help maintain public health protocols and keep one another safe.
To wrap up this post, here is a message from your principal at Forest Heights.
Forest Heights Community School class of 2020:
This certainly isn’t the way that anyone pictured you would be finishing your high school careers but here we are. I would like to thank you for how you have all dealt with everything that has been going on over the last few months. It hasn’t been easy but you have adapted, persevered and will move forward stronger because of it.
As you graduate, remember that it is even more important than ever to say thank you to someone who has helped you along the way. So reach out and say thank you to a teacher, parent, friend, bus driver, anyone who has guided you to get to this point and helped prepare you for what is to come.
I would also like to thank you all for everything that you have done for the school over the past 4 years. You’ve been doing school now for a total of 13 years, which is over 2400 school days, and now you are all moving on to something different. Whether it be the workforce, university, community college, or anything else, you are moving into the next stage of your lives and are well prepared to do so! I would urge you to continue to grow and learn as a person wherever you find yourself next. The FHCS staff have said many great things about this graduation class over the past few years and it is without a doubt that we believe you will go on to do many great things. You have all been a big part of FHCS, through sports teams, committees, or simply attending classes and being students. We will miss you and we congratulate you on this achievement!
