Monday is Career Day for our students and their folks! Yes, they eventually leave home! ;-) Just joking! Having two of my three children away at college/university means that my house is MUCH quieter than it used to be...maybe even a little TOO quiet at times! These high school years definitely fly by quickly, and it is never too early (or late!) for our students to be considering what their next step will be after they leave Three Oaks. There will be representatives from Maritime universities, colleges, and training programs set up in the gym on Monday to chat with our students (grades 10-12) during the afternoon. In the evening, Grade 12 parents are invited to come to the Lecture Theatre from 6-7 p.m. for a session with Mr. Donovan re: post-secondary "must knows". From 7-8:30 p.m., all TOSH parents/guardians (Grades 10-12) are invited to come to the gym to chat with recruiters about what their particular schools have to offer your son/daughter in the form of post-secondary education or training. We hope to see as many of you there as can possibly make it. You will have richer conversations with your son/daughter about his/her post-secondary plans if you get some of the information directly.
Good luck to our Women's Field Hockey team and Men's and Women's Soccer teams who are all playing on Monday in qualifying games for provincials! GO TOSH!

~You Won't Want to Miss It!!~
Our school has been approved by the Board for the installation of an ATM banking machine effective asap. Students were informally surveyed last year and there was overwhelming student interest in having one available for the purchase of food on campus. The proceeds from the use of the machine will go towards activities and events that directly benefit the majority of our students. Colonel Gray High School in Charlottetown has had their ATM machine for five years and have not had any issues with its presence in the school. It will also be available to shoppers during this year's Christmas Craft Fair!
TOSH Athletics is proud to be partnering with the Summerside Storm pro basketball team again this year. We have a number of tickets available for the Slam Dunk game on Oct. 26 beginning at 7 p.m. at the CUP. Tickets are available in our Main Office and the Phys Ed office at a cost of only $5 each! Buy your Storm tickets through us to save yourself some money and support the important work we do with student athletic programming!
