Principal’s Message
By: Mr. Michael Adams
First Semester is ending soon. Final exams are approaching quickly. In-class exams
will be Thursday, January 23, for A & B Blocks and Friday, January 24, for C & D
Blocks.
Many students will have provincial exams to write during the week of January 27-31.
Our provincial exams begin at 8:30 and 12:00 each day. Students are reminded to
check with teachers, counsellors or administration regarding provincial exam
schedules. Students are also reminded to ensure they bring all the necessary equipment
to the exams. You would be shocked by the number of students who show up without
calculators, pens and pencils to write their exams.
Help your child(ren) prepare for their final exams:
Sleep, rest and healthy nutrition help the brain to function. Ensure your child(ren)
get(s) lots of sleep and healthy food prior to exams.
Set aside a quiet time during the day where everyone at home is reading and
students are studying. Research clearly demonstrates that students who
establish routines for work and study do better on their exams. Turn off the
electronics.
Start early. Generate questions for students to ask their teachers. Do this in a
timely fashion as last minute, “panic” questions seldom get answered and
students seldom learn well enough to respond on a test.
Monday February 3th is the first day of semester two. Students will pick up their
semester two schedules from a morning homeroom and then be off to classes
immediately. It is a full day as we hit semester two running. Students need to see their
counsellors during exam week if they are seeking changes to their schedule. Parents
and students are advised, however, that staffing is tight and classes are large so
changes may not be possible. We cannot oversize classes. Waitlists may apply.
Students who are writing provincial exams will note that their report cards will
not have their combined final mark listed. The mark on the report card is their class
mark at the end of semester. The provincial tests are not marked until the end of
February so the students’ final mark has not been determined by the time report cards
are distributed. Students will need to check on-line to see their final mark.
Please visit the Ministry of Education website to access the student secure web https://
www.bced.gov.bc.ca/exams/tsw/tsw/student/ Students will need their 9 digit Personal
Education Number (PEN) to access.
Semester one has been fantastic. We look forward to a successful second semester.
We encourage you to remain active in the education of your children. Contact their
teachers early in the semester to discuss how you can support their educational
progress. Clear communication between home and school is a critical factor in student
success. As always please do not hesitate to contact teachers, counsellors, or
administration should you have any questions or concerns.
LOST AND FOUND
Our lost and found bin is overflowing. If your child has lost an item of clothing or other miscellaneous items, please have him/her
come to the office to see whether it is in the bin. We will be emptying the bin at the end of the month and donating items to charity.

West Fraser Trades and Technology Tour by CSS Career Preparation
32 Career Preparation students with the support of the COFI Forest Education Program and West Fraser, embarked on
a fun-filled day of career discovery at West Fraser operations in Quesnel Jan 16. Trades and careers that students were
able to observe included sawfilers, electricians, welder fabricators, power engineers, process control technicians,
millwrights, heavy duty mechanics, sales, accountants, and many more. This was an excellent way for students to build
relevance to all they learn! Should your son or daughter be interested in a career program please feel free to see or
e-mail Mr Runge (martinrunge@sd28.bc.ca).
The Correlieu Players are excited to
be presenting this year’s musical
“Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr”, a
show for the whole family.

Subway Promotion
Correlieu has been given a great opportunity to raise monies for sports teams, school clubs, or any other organization/group within our
school. Every group is struggling with the cost of their programs or initiatives and here is one of the best ways to make easy money.
Every sports team member and every student, in any school organization, has access to the Subway "Peel and Stick" cards. Each card
sells for ten dollars ($10.00). The Subway card has seventy dollars ($70.00) worth of discount coupons on it. You basically get 11 free
6" sub sandwiches. You also get ten dollars ($10.00) off any Sandwich Platter. All twelve coupons are good until the end of June,
2014. These coupons can be used at any Subway Restaurant in British Columbia.
As stated earlier the Subway Promotion is a way to make easy money. The cost to the school is minimal. We have to pay BC School
Sports two dollars ($2.00) for each of these coupons. In turn we sell them for ten dollars ($10.00). This means that we get to keep eight
dollars ($8.00) from each sale. The school purchased one thousand (1000) Subway Cards. When we sell them all we will have raised
eight thousand dollars ($8000.00) for our Programs. This is money that will go directly to your son or daughter's team, school group
or organization to help offset costs. Correlieu is not holding back any of the profits. They are all going to the individual groups.
If you want more information you are encouraged to contact the leader of your son or daughter's team, school group or
organization. If you don't have a child in any of the programs that might be participating in this fund raiser and would like to buy some
Subway Cards or have any questions about this promotion please feel free to contact Mr. McGregor at Correlieu.
