Collection of student fees for 2024-2025 has now begun!
What are Student Fees? “Student Fees” are in addition to the capital building fee paid at the time of registration, the parent participation fee due in August, and monthly tuition. Student fees cover required items such as consumables, class fees, etc. as well as optional items such as yearbooks and hoodies.
How much are Student Fees? The amount of your student fees depends on the grades your students are in and the courses they are taking.
Student Fees are not collected by automatic withdrawal and must be paid by the first day of school. Paying your student fees on time is the best way to ensure you receive your gym strip and workbooks at the start of the year.
Visit https://immac.payschoolfees.net or click the button below. Register to create an account, add students, and order the required items.
Payment by credit card online is available for your convenience and a 2.8% transaction fee applies. We also accept payment by email money transfer at irhs.activities@cisnd.ca. (Please be sure that when you send your payment it is clear for whom you are paying.)
We also accept payment by cash, cheque, or debit in the office. Our office closes at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 28, and reopens on Wednesday, August 21 at 8 a.m.

MacKenna came to Immac from Grand Prairie, AB, where she attended St. Joseph Catholic High School. Some of her most memorable moments include Sweet 16 games, math class with Mr. K, and when Gryffin (her cousin) popped his knee out. She appreciates the small class sizes and one-on-one time she gets to spend with her peers because it makes everyone feel more comfortable. MacKenna will be working all summer to save money for university while trying to spend as much time with friends and family. In September she will be attending UBC Okanagan to pursue a Bachelor degree in Science in Nursing Basics. In the future, MacKenna hopes to become a pediatric nurse.

Her favourite memories of high school include playing on the basketball team in grade 10, PE 11 double block activities (laser tag!), breaking a random coconut (which Sofia had in her backpack) in math class and giving Sofia a haircut in Law 12.

Lord Jesus, while I pray with hope in life eternal, I ask for the grace to bring hope in this world, wherever I can. Where there is violence, I hope for peace. Where people are suffering the aftermath of storms, I hope for calmness in weather and in hearts. For all who are suffering the loss of a loved one, of a job, of health, or any loss, please lead them to renewed hope found through Your love and grace. Amen.
