GRADS – Now is the time to book your Grad Portrait sitting with Stuart Bish Photography! Call 250-492-0049 and book your time for October 15th to November 8th. All eligible grade 12 students can have their cap and gown photos taken for no charge in order for their photo to appear in the yearbook as well as the grad class composite and local papers. IF they want to have their photos made available on our website to see and select their favorite as well as order portraits for family etc., a $20 preview fee must be paid, preferably on the day of the photo session. The $20 fee can be paid at a later date than the session, but the previews will not be available on the site until it is paid. If the student does not want to pay the fee, or the fee isn't paid before the yearbook deadline, we will choose the best photo, retouch it and make it available to the school. The $20 is not applied towards the purchase of portraits.
This allows students who are not interested in purchasing any photos to still be recorded in the yearbook and composite.
STUDENT PARKING PASSES – Passes are now available to students in grade 12 who drive a vehicle to school. Bring in your driver’s licence and insurance papers from your vehicle to register for a pass.
