SCHOLASTIC INFORMATION

To recognize outstanding progress, numerous commendation letters, awards, certificates and scholarships are issued annually. Recognition is given for outstanding achievement during the year. Be part of the MCI standard of excellence.

One portion of MCI’s recognition of student achievement is our medallion program. All students will be asked to apply for medallions near the end of the school year. Three areas are recognized: academics, athletics and school service. Students meeting the criteria for one of these areas is awarded a bronze medallion. If a student meets the standards set for two of the three sectors, a silver medallion is presented. If the criteria for all three areas is met, a gold medallion is awarded. Medallions are presented at bother undergrad and graduation ceremonies (certificates for portfolio use are also given). Students should speak to the guidance counselor or their homeroom teacher for more information—or please see the school website (www.rrsd.mb.ca/mci).

 

SCHOLARSHIP ANNOUNCEMENTS

Students in Grade 12 will receive scholarship information through announcements, bulletin board displays, the MCI website and in a binder available in the MCI library.

Students planning to pursue a post-secondary education should be seeking this information as early as possible.
