KELOWNA – The Central Okanagan School District is expressing serious concerns about student-organized grad celebrations.
The district’s superintendent has written a letter to parents about the non-sanctioned events saying there have been incidents that resulted in serious injuries in the past.
The letter urges parents to investigate the activities carefully and be aware what their children are planning to participate in.

“There are…non-sanctioned grad events that we do not supervise nor support. Activities organized and arranged by graduates themselves include the infamous “grad kidnappings” and subsequent “bush parties” that take place in our region,” writes Hugh Gloster, Superintendent of Schools.
“The other growing trend is the organization of large group multi-school grad trips to winter and summer resort destinations organized for students by private travel companies that are not in any way connected to the school district.”
