I am excited to share information regarding the upcoming Asclepius Medical Camps available to high school students. These medical camps will be happening this summer in both Edmonton and Grande Prairie.

The Asclepius Medical Camp for Youth is an initiative aimed at increasing the enrollment of underrepresented populations in medical school. The goal is to demonstrate that a career in medicine is attainable, regardless of background, by demystifying the path to medical school and sparking interest among participants. The camp features a variety of hands-on activities, speaker presentations, group discussions, and interactive sessions that simulate a typical day in the life of a medical student. They encourage all applicants who meet the camp criteria, including those from rural areas, to apply.

Although the camps are completely free to attend, with lunch provided daily for all participants, students must apply for the camp as per the deadlines below..

Edmonton – apply by June 6th > CAMP is being held July 7th – 11th, 2025 (60 available spots)

For more information, including how to apply, visit https://sites.google.com/view/asclepiusmcfy/home.

Please remember to take part in the Municipal Census which opens on April 14. Your participation will not only assist us with our future planning needs but will provide much needed funding for City services.

For further information visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca/census

Scholarship applications are in full swing for grade 12 students with many generous local scholarships being offered. Please check with your school’s awards coordinators to ensure you have up-to-date information and deadlines for the scholarships in your area and watch your HS+ Google Classroom for updates.

Research consistently shows that regular attendance is one of the strongest predictors of academic success. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to achieve higher grades, develop stronger social connections, and maintain positive mental health. Conversely, chronic absenteeism can create gaps in learning that are difficult to close and impact long-term outcomes. Ensuring that every student is present and engaged remains a top priority!

Attendance at BRACE looks very different - we consider attendance to be engagement - seeing you in our classrooms, or logging in Moodle and handing things in!

Keep engaged and keep in contact!

Did you know you can check your student’s grades any time! We now use a tool called PowerSchool so that students and families can see their grades in real time - as soon as we enter a grade in, you can see it! More information is provided in another newsletter!
