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.
