Prom Closet Nanaimo

Providing formal wear for graduating students from any high school. It is a pleasure to meet students who are choosing pre-owned formal wear for a variety of reasons:

  • some have environmental concerns
  • some have financial limitations
  • some find it easier to navigate

We will be offering gowns and formal suits through appointments at the closet. As usual, appointments are required in advance and can be made by submitting a quick form then email it to promcloset.nanaimo@gmail.com. An appointment will be scheduled once the completed form has been received.

Valedictorians TBA

To be determined by the graduating class during Grad week.

Grad Song

We will be asking you to vote on a Grad song later this year.

Baby Photos Needed

Please send a baby photo of your grad to Tina Fagan (tina.fagan@sd71.bc.ca) by January 27. This photo will be used in presentations throughout the year as well as the yearbook.

Grad Ceremony – Cap & Gown

We will be providing Grad gowns again this year, so we need student height measurements to our office before April 24th. You can email your height to tina.fagan@sd71.bc.ca or come to the office and let Tina know. Our plan is to provide the gowns to students the night before grad, they can take them off the school site for photos with family, and friends. The next day we take a photo with the entire group of grads, dressed in their finery, in the gym. They put on their gowns after and get ready for the ceremony. The cap, complete with date tassel have been ordered for each graduate to keep and do not need to be returned.

Grad Ceremony – Time & Date

The Isfeld Class of 2024 graduation ceremony will be held on June8, 2024 here at École Mark R. Isfeld school. The current plan is for our ceremony to be held in the gym at 2:00 pm. Each student is permitted four tickets to grad.
