Welcome Back

We would like to welcome students back and wish the entire Nelson Mandela community a Happy New Year! We are hoping everyone had an opportunity to connect with family and friends over the break. January will look a bit different than previous years with the cancellation of Diploma Exams. Students will be attending class until January 25th and their school awarded grade will count as their course grade that will appear on their official transcript. Every day of attendance counts and it is important that students attend regularly in order to achieve the highest grade possible.

Graduation Portraits Reminder

A reminder to all graduating students that graduation portraits must be booked. These photos are an important part of our yearbook and graduation materials. Please ensure appointments are scheduled as soon as possible so you do not miss your opportunity. More information about booking will be shared with students.
