To help you explore postsecondary information, the traditional career fair was changed to a virtual presentation this year. All videos have been saved to the AARAO Executive youtube channel. We would encourage all students to visit this page to learn more about post-secondary schools in Atlantic Canada (and a little beyond).
Many thanks to the KRHS parents who will be providing the breakfast program during exams. It is a healthy way to start the day and is always much appreciated.
