Congrats to the Predators Volleyball team on getting to the semi-finals in Tier 1 this weekend. They played hard, with determination, and above all, represented the school with excellent sportsmanship. Congrats to Stephanie LeShane on being selected as one of the Tournament All-Stars. Let's Go BCP! - Senior Boys Basketball Tournament - Baltimore
Our Senior Boys Basketball team demonstrated strong effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout their tournament this weekend in Baltimore. Keep up the good work! - Parking at School
Please do not park in the wheelchair spaces right in front of the building unless you have a vehicle permit to do so. We want to ensure that visitors who require that parking have access to it. Thank you. - Carnival Week
Thank you to the staff and students who planned and took part in last week's Carnival Week! Staff and students had a great time and had fun! - How to use Rycor for Fees and Forms
Some families may be unfamiliar with or unsure about using Rycor. Please note that mandating its use is an NLSchools decision, not a school-level decision: “Effective November 1, 2025, the use of Rycor Online Payment System is mandatory for the collection of all School Generated Funds.” (Rycor Usage Protocol - NLSchools, 2025)
To help, I’ve created a short Google Slideshow that shows how to access Rycor and locate school forms and fees: Rycor Slideshow. If you need assistance, please contact the school. - 25th Anniversary Committee
September 2027 will be the 25th anniversary of Baccalieu Collegiate's opening. We're looking to celebrate this milestone, and would love to have members of the school community involved in planning and putting the plan into action. If you're interested, please email baccalieucoll@nlesd.ca. - Prepared for Class
Students are expected to come to class prepared each day with all required materials, including pencils, notebooks, and their Chromebook. Chromebooks should be charged, and students should have their chargers with them. - Tutoring for Tuition
Tutoring for Tuition is now available. If you feel your child would benefit from extra academic support, please reach out to Mrs. Reid or Mrs. Slade to get started. We’re happy to help students build confidence and strengthen their learning. - Extra Curricular Schedule
Baccalieu Collegiate offers extracurricular activities, including sports, drama, tutoring/study hall, DND, and more! Please check our Calendar and our Facebook page for schedules. - Absence / Sign-In / Sign-Out (Family)
Attendance is critical for academic and social success, as it ensures that students are actively engaged and able to fully benefit from the educational opportunities we provide. Please make sure that you sign your child in and out when arriving late or leaving early. - Kids Eat Smart Breakfast Program
