Graduation 2026 - Convocation Information

The school year is quickly passing, and before we know it, we will be celebrating our grade 12 students as they graduate! This letter is to inform you that this year’s convocation will take place at River East Collegiate on Thursday, June 25, 2026.  

There will 5 hour-long school-based ceremonies taking place between the hours of 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM. Groups of graduates for each ceremony will be capped at 60, and this will allow for up to 8 guests per graduate to join us in celebration.

We will be sending out communication in May with additional details about booking your graduate’s ceremony, as well as further details about convocation.

There is a convocation fee of $40 (payable cash/cheque made out to River East Collegiate). This will be collected in the office for all students who are on the Graduation list at this time. These fees help cover the cost of our school-based convocation services.

We are looking forward to celebrating with you!
