CPS Student Police Academy

The CPS Student Police Academy allows Grade 12 students to spend a day in the life of a Calgary Police Services officer.  This immersive, hands-on experience gives Grade 12 students a unique opportunity to step into the shoes of a Calgary Police Services officer for the day of May 13, 2026.  Please have your interested student check out the Student Police Academy Application page for more information and to fill out an application.

Deadline for applications is April 24, 2026. 

JCS Parent Photography Workshop

 Most of the photos we take today are captured on our phones. Whether it is school events, vacations, or everyday family moments, our phones are normally the camera we have with us. This workshop is designed to help parents take clearer, more interesting photos using simple techniques that work on any smartphone. 

The JCS School Council and Parent Society are proud to offer an exciting opportunity for parents (no students allowed!) to learn some photography skills from Mr. Graeme Hargreaves. He teaches Digital Photography and Film and Media Design here at JCS and is the Learning Leader of our Careers & Technology Studies department.

Date: Wednesday April 8, 2026

Time: 6:30 – 7:30 PM
Location: Joane Cardinal-Schubert High School (19480 45 Street SE)

Cost: Free!

Parents are asked to register one slot per person attending. For more information and to register, please visit: JCS Parent Council: Photography Night. Don’t miss out as spaces are limited! 

Culture Day

Culture Day is back on April 9 and students have been working hard making booths and preparing activities to help celebrate the many cultures of the students and staff at JCS. The highlight of the day is always the fashion show and performances. We are currently looking for students or groups who would like to perform a traditional dance (Mexican Folk, Irish, Bhangra, etc.) or sing a song or showcase another special aspect of their culture during the school assembly. If your student is interested, please email Ms. Neisz or have your student see her in room 2504.

Graduation 2026

The Six Weeks to Graduation 2026 message has been posted to the JCS Graduation page on the JCS Website. Yes, that means there are only SIX WEEKS to Graduation 2026.

We have a limited number of banquet tickets still available!  Orders close on April 5 at a cost of $130 per seat.  Please note that all school fees and graduation ceremony fees need to be paid before the optional banquet tickets fee can be purchased.  Please allow one business day for fee payments to be processed before the banquet ticket sales option appear in your PowerSchool account.  For more information please visit the JCS Graduation Banquet Webpage.
