You must book an appointment to get access to the Grad Attire fitting space. Please do not show up and ask to see the space.
Donations can be dropped off at G.P. Vanier Secondary on school days between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Items can also be dropped off at Comox Valley Dodge Monday-Saturday between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Financial donations are also accepted to help offset costs to repair, or purchase required items students may need.
The long running Grad Class Attire program aims to give all students the opportunity to wear a lightly worn gown or suit on graduation day without the financial burden associated with purchasing a brand-new outfit.
“Interested students should use the new website to book a fitting free of charge.” said Kelley Giorgianni, SD 71 work experience and careers coordinator. “There is also a huge demand for smaller sized suits, pants, shirts and accessories if people have items to donate.”
If you have any questions or would like to donate, please contact Kelley Giorgianni kelley.giorgianni@sd71.bc.ca or 250-338-2110.
