We’re getting down to crunch-time! A couple items of note…
1. A reminder that the Round 2 Ceremony ticket sale is still live on the Parent Portal and will CLOSE at the end of day on Wednesday, June 10th (this will NOT be extended). The tickets are available to all crossing Graduates who ‘haven’t already’ maxed out on their allowable amount of tickets. Round 2 is a maximum of 2 tickets per crossing Graduate. ** Once we do a final count of total sales later this week, we will announce whether or not there will be a Round 3.
2. We are attaching important details for families regarding the Ceremony itself (drop off times, etc.)
3. Also – a reminder that the Grads have their Mandatory Grad Dress Rehearsal on Friday, June 19th at 9:00 a.m. in the school’s Multipurpose Room. This is where they will be given their Cap & Gown package and pre-ordered Ceremony Tickets. Please contact the Ceremony Organizer Mr. Han directly if there is a legitimate reason your Grad cannot attend this important rehearsal (addison_han@sd42.ca).

PMSS Grad Ceremony Reminders:
Please be at the Chandos Theatre at Pacific Academy by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday June 23rd in your cap and gown. You will line up with the same usher as you did at the June 19th Dress Rehearsal, in the same order.
- Wear nice pants and shoes.
- Do NOT chew gum.
- VERY IMPORTANT: please leave your cell phones and purses/bags with your parents/guardians.
- Be sure to eat a good meal prior to Grad as you won’t enjoy it the same if your physical needs are not being met.
- You may decorate your Cap and put your name INSIDE it if you want your cap back.
- Be sure that your gown and sash are steamed or pressed as the wrinkles will show up in the pictures.
PMSS Valedictory Ceremony Details are as follows:
Date: Tuesday, June 23, 2026
Where: Chandos Pattison Auditorium at Pacific Academy, 10238 – 168 Street, Surrey
Time(s): Grads to arrive by 3:00 p.m. for a 3:15 p.m. final dress rehearsal
- Grad Group Photo to be taken at 4:00 p.m. sharp,
- Doors open for families at 4:15 p.m.
- Ceremony starts promptly at 5:00 p.m. and will last approx. 2 hours.
- Families/guests will NOT be able to enter the building prior to 4:15 p.m. so they can either wonder the grounds or, drop off your Graduate and return. We ask that all guests arrive and be seated no later than 4:50 p.m. as the Ceremony itself starts promptly at 5:00 p.m.
- We respectfully ask that all Guests stay for the entirety of the Ceremony as it is very disruptive for people to go in and out.
- There is no reserved seating and tickets will NOT be sold at the door. We are nearing capacity for the venue so all guests MUST have a ticket to enter.
- Bouquets of helium balloons are NOT allowed in the auditorium.
- NO smoking or vaping on the property whatsoever – you will need to go off campus for this.
- We strongly encourage that families carpool as parking fills up VERY quickly.
- There is a limited number of wheelchair accessible spots at the back of the main/orchestra level. For those families that contacted the PMSS office for one of those spots, there will be parking attendants on site to assist you and to tell you where to enter the building to avoid the busy main door congestion.
