NB: Students will be signing up for these sessions in their period 1 classes during the first week and a half of school. The staff and administration at MM Robinson support the concept that students will benefit from having as much information as possible about as many post-secondary opportunies as possible and, therefore, support 100% attendance at these events.
Additional Post-Secondary visits: Other institutions will visit MM during the lunch hours and students will be given a copy of these dates. This information will also be available on the MM wes site as soon as it is finalized.
