Student Services

Reminder to all grade 12 students who have an active application with OUAC and/or OCAS that we have uploaded your midterm grades - please ensure that your academic data is accurate so that your admission and/or offers are not affected. Please report any problems to me asap. This is your responsibility!

The Ontario College Application Service (OCAS) will be adjusting the college application fee for the next application cycle. For 2025-2026 applications, the fee will be updated from $125 to $150. The updated fee will take effect on Saturday, September 28 when the 2025-2026 application cycle opens for programs starting between August 2025 and July 2026.

Ontario's universities are excited to host a collection of in-person and virtual events. These events are free, and anyone may attend. New this spring: Ontario's universities will host an Information Sessions virtual event geared towards Grade 11 students looking to explore their university options ahead of Grade 12. We encourage students to sign up here for this event now. The Virtual Information Session is May 22, 5-7 pm (ET).

This is an invitation for all students (and their parents) who participated in OYAP during the 2023-24 school year, to attend an “OYAP Next Steps” webinar on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 on Zoom. Resources and information will be available about next steps in completing an apprenticeship, key steps for students who would like to continue to pursue a skilled trade, and tips for those who would like to continue in an apprenticeship. We will be joined by Colin DeRaaf, Director of Training for CLAC who oversees apprenticeship training programs for CLAC. Register here!

OCE Education Program

We have enjoyed hosting your school as guests as a part of our OCE education program. We wanted to extend the invite to your students to come back this summer as staff! Camp Staff get to live in community with other peers in cabins and do life together throughout the summer; growing in God's creation through His truth and serving guests who come to enjoy the Fair Havens community.

We are looking for youth and young adults (14 - 25 years old) who might be interested in serving at our camp this Summer here at Fair Havens! We have many positions available, kids’ ministry, recreation, spiritual formation, community life, lifeguards, maintenance, dining hall, office, cafe, housekeeping, and more! Our staff will have many opportunities to grow and learn through community, work excellence, and spiritual formation.

We would love it if you would be willing to advertise for our camp at your school and at your local church. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
