We were informed on Friday that, due to BC General Employees’ Union (BCGEU) strike action in the BC Public Service, the Graduation Assessment Sessions scheduled for November 3-7, 2025, have been cancelled. This means that the Grade 12 Literacy Assessment scheduled at Burnaby Mountain will not take place. The next available sessions will be begin on January 12, 2026 and will be extended by an additional week, to January 30, to allow more time for a larger administration.
The Ministry of Education has confirmed that early admission to post-secondary institutions in B.C. will not be impacted by the cancellation, as students are able to write the assessments in another session (January, April, or June) and submit their results when completed.
School staff are working on an updated assessment schedule and will communicate it to students and families as soon as possible.
Thank you.
