Post-Secondary Prep Challenge

Post-Secondary Prep Challenge – Semester 1

Glenlawn is offering an academic challenge designed for students who want to test their skills and experience the pressures of a traditional university-level Math or Science exam. This challenge is held twice a year, at the end of each semester.

Students who achieve the highest standing in each subject area and grade level will be formally recognized. Grade 12 students will receive their awards at Convocation, while students in Grades 9-11 will be acknowledged during the first Parent Conference night in the fall, where other awards are also presented. Additionally, honourees will be celebrated in a dedicated TEAMS chat for participants.

Students opting to take part in the Post-Secondary Prep Challenge can select from the following options within their current grade:

Grade 9
- Math – Only in June as it is a full year course
Grade 10
- Applied Math – Only in June as it is a full year course

Each exam will be 2 hours in length and will consist of multiple-choice questions. Phones will not be permitted, except for English language translation purposes. Students are allowed to bring a calculator and pencils.

The exams will not be returned; however, participants will receive their scores. Students who choose to participate will be asked to write the exam on the transition days between semesters to avoid missing class time.

Prep packages will be available for students, and the sooner you sign up, the sooner you will receive your prep materials.

Deadline to sign up: January 17^th 4:00 PM.
