To make a gift to "Providing Opportunities", Centennial's 2008-2009 Annual Giving Campaign, please visit On-line giving page.
What is Annual Giving?
The annual giving campaign is a fundraising program that allows Centennial to fund areas of greatest need, above and beyond the operating budget of the school and college.
Bursaries:
We award partial and full bursaries to students who would not otherwise be able to benefit from our unique program.
Curriculum and academic enhancements:
Centennial is a leader in its pedagogical approach to whole student development. Lectures, visiting speakers, field trips and tools for the Learning Centre are just a few examples of how we help our students to develop their potential and expand their horizons. Permitting members of our faculty to train in advanced programs further enriches our capacity to deliver an enhanced curriculum.
What difference does my contribution make?
Your investment has an impact on individual students today and in the future by supporting:
- Student areas of greatest need e.g. our library, the Learning Centre
- the Centennial Foundation Bursary program
- activities that promote leadership and develop community awareness and spirit.
Your investment allows today's students to benefit from Centennial like you have.
“To those who helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin and to believe in myself and my academics, I would like to honour you by thanking you for helping me academically and financially. This has encouraged me to work harder so I could achieve more inside and outside of school”.
