January 2023 Diploma Results

The table below displays the results from the January Diploma Exams. AS is abbreviated for Acceptable Standard which equates to the percentage of students that passed the diploma exam.

Needless to say we are very proud of our students' effort, focus and performance on the diploma exams. Way to go class of 2023!!

If you are coming in for retakes, please note you have two options. Option one is to turn in your original set of proofs which we will remove from our system and replace with your new set of portraits at no charge. Option two is to keep your original portraits and pay a $30.00 fee. This will allow you to have access to both your first and second sessions.

At www.iconexp.com you can click the Grad Portraits button for information on our portrait program as well as the How to order Grad portraits for detailed instructions on how to order

Congratulations in advance for your accomplishment. Thank you for allowing Icon to be a part of this year.

The Fort High Skills Competition series is well underway. Students participated this week in a 3 point shoot out organized by the Leadership class. This week’s 3-point shot winner was Fort High Senior Basketball Team’s own Yvann Namohmoh who managed it all in pink crocs! Jake Saxby also snagged an impressive 11 3-pointers in 1 minute. Both students received a gift certificate on behalf of Winner’s Way Sports in Fort Saskatchewan. Look out for our next event!

The Fort High Band received high marks once again at the Wendy Brooks Music Festival in Vegreville on Monday. The adjudicator had nothing but positive feedback for the group as Mrs. Villetard and our student teacher Mr. Reiter sat proud. The students also enjoyed a quick visit to the giant pysanka and the giant Mundare sausage on the way back home. A great tour as always.

The Leadership class planned some festive events around the school today to celebrate the green holiday. Shamrock cookies and green juice we’re served at lunch with facepainting and a school wide scavenger hunt. A big thank you to the personal food class for baking all the cookies, the cosmetology class for the facepainting and the cafeteria for serving some delicious St. Patrick’s day themed food. Lots of green to be seen around.

Norquest College Open House is Saturday, March 18 from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. For more information, please see Student Services.

NAIT Winter 2024 applications open on March 1 for programs with a Winter 2024 intake. These programs will start next January 2024. As programs tend to fill quickly, we encourage interested students to apply early!

You are invited to attend the upcoming Next in Trades event series at NAIT that aims to encourage and empower people from all backgrounds and abilities to explore careers in the skilled trades industry.

NAIT recognizes that Indigenous peoples, Black and racialized communities, newcomers, women, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the trades. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to explore their potential and discover a career that works for them.

Next in Trades will be held March 18th and 25th at NAIT’s main campus. We would love for you to join us and experience what the skilled trades have to offer.

Next in Trades events:

The future of skilled trades includes a diverse and inclusive workplace – one that provides equal opportunities for all people. This event aims to create a supportive environment to explore the trades. Attend hands-on workshops taught by current NAIT instructors in a trade that interests you. Our workshops will give you a glimpse into future careers such as:

• Plumber
• Electrician
• Instrumentation
• Cabinetmaker
• Industrial Mechanic (Millwright)
• Carpenter
• Machinist/Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Technician
• Insulator
• Glazier
• Culinary Arts/Baking and Pastry Arts/Professional Meat cutting and Merchandising
•
