Graduation+Sem67

*Note: there are some small changes to Wednesday's Schedule

== Graduation is scheduled for Friday, Jan 29th at 7:00 pm in the Auditorium. Guests are encouraged to arrive one hour prior and are welcome to take their seats beginning 30 minutes before the ceremony begins. ==

The structure of grad is that there is a short formal part at the beginning, with some speeches and presentations, but after that there is about 30-40 minutes for you to show off your talents and to reflect on your time at Science School. You may want to perform musical pieces, or show your parents some of the things you have been involved in by way of video or skits! We know you are hugely creative and don’t mind getting up in front of an audience.

There are several jobs that need to be done and an outline is included below:

The grad coordinators will coordinate the various sections of the grad (music, skits, etc.) Everyone will have input as to what is included in graduation and there will be subcommittees to organize small sections, but the coordinators will make sure that everything runs smoothly. The grad coordinators do not have to come up with the entire program, but ensure that everyone that is organizing something for the program has everything they need. Before rehearsal day (Wednesday, Jan 27th, **2:00PM**) they should have written up a running order of events. Grad coordinators should be organized and creative, have a good relationship with both peers and staff, have good time management skills and be strong at teamwork. (Order of events (written up) due Wed Jan 20th)
 * Grad Coordinators**

The AV coordinators will work with the AV personnel from the Science Centre in advance of grad, during the rehearsal and during the event. Before the rehearsal, they are in charge of collecting any music clips, video clips, etc. that are needed and deciding how many microphones we need and where they should be placed for each part of the grad. The AV coordinators will create an AV running list for the AV staff of the OSC to follow during grad.
 * AV Coordinators**

The Decoration Committee Coordinators are responsible for decorating the Reception Room and the Auditorium (minimal decorations in the Auditorium). The coordinators should organize a group of students to come in at 9:00 AM on graduation day to decorate. They are encouraged to decorate using materials available at the Science Centre, or using re-usable materials they have at home. If any decorations need to be purchased, there is a $40 budget, but the coordinators should talk to the teachers before purchasing anything, and need to make sure to keep all receipts of items purchased.
 * Decoration Committee Coordinators **

These students will work on leaving something behind for the future classes at the OSCSS. These people should be innovative, creative and have a good sense of how things work at the OSCSS. They will briefly present what they have decided to leave behind/create to help future OSCSS students. (Video due Wednesday Jan 20th.)
 * Legacy Officers**

These are the people who will give a speech reflecting on your time here at the OSCSS. They can use pictures and video or whatever they want to help tell our audience about what made your time here special and memorable. These are the people you want to see represent your semester to your friends and families. Like the MC nominations, please nominate PAIRS of people for this position. (Video or slideshow and script due Wednesday Jan 20th.)
 * Historians**

The MCs are on stage between skits (think of the Oscars for an example of an MC), and they will introduce the various speakers at the event. They will also introduce the skits/presentations. Nominations for this position should be in PAIRS of people that you think will work well together and represent your class well. MCs should be comfortable speaking to a large group of people and have a sense of humour. Before rehearsal they will have to write a script for their intro to each section of the grad. Keep it short. (Script due Wednesday Jan 20th.)
