January 12th, 2017 @ David Thompson's Library (7 pm).
The GOLD Information Nights are an opportunity for grade 7 students and their parents to find out more about the programs at David Thompson and Prince of Wales.
Prospective students SHOULD be present--this is quite important--they will have an opportunity to meet some of the current GOLD students from each program and hear for themselves what "actually" happens in the GOLD rooms and in each school.
Staff from each program (Chris Bromige from PW & Jennifer Jack from DT) will be present for both evenings. Placement at David Thompson or Prince of Wales is in NO WAY dependent on which GOLD Information Night the student has attended. In fact, it is NOT necessary to attend either Information Night...it is simply recommended that you attend so that you have a clear idea regarding what the program offers.
General format for these meetings is a short presentation from the teachers regarding the broad outlines of the programs, special attributes of each school, and the referral process. Then there will be a question and answer session with current Goldies fielding the questions.
