SE Grad Code of Conduct Signature Form Sept 2026

As we enter the final three months of Grade 12, we expect our students to finish the year as strong leaders and positive role models for Grades 8–11. This means upholding the CARES Code of Conduct, attending classes regularly, and maintaining respectful relationships with staff.
All school-organized and school-sponsored grad events must remain 100% Substance Free This protects the safety of students and the volunteer staff who give their time to supervise. Students are expected to behave appropriately, dress suitably, and always use good judgement during these events. As a reminder, all students must complete the GRAD Student Code of Conduct on PARENT CONNECT. Please make sure that it is completed so students can attend events.
We want to be very clear: Pranks of any kind are not allowed. Any activity, on or off school property, that risks safety, damages property, disrupts learning, or harms Seaquam’s reputation will result in consequences, including removal from upcoming grad events. Additionally, the school does not support or endorse any unsanctioned student-planned “Grad Activities,” such as ski/snowboard trips, camping trips, S-Trip events, or “Grad Skip Day.” These events are unsupervised, interfere with learning, and are not connected to Seaquam Secondary. Our goal is to ensure the last three months of high school are safe, positive, and memorable for everyone.

VALEDICTORIAN 2027:

Each year, the Grad class selects a Valedictorian (a student who will represent the entire
graduating class by delivering a speech at the Commencement Ceremony in front of grads, families,
and staff). This is a meaningful honour and a wonderful opportunity for a student to share their
voice, celebrate the journey of the Class of 2027, and inspire their peers as they step into their
next chapter. An application form will be sent to each grad’s @deltalearns email in the beginning
of May. The form includes all details about the process. Applicants will need teacher sponsors, and
all submissions will go through a vetting process before grads vote for the class Valedictorian.
We encourage students who feel passionate about representing their class, whether through
storytelling, humour, reflection, or inspiration, to consider applying. It’s an exciting chance to
help shape a memorable moment for your entire grad class.
