Cairn Compass / NACE Notes
We love to celebrate the great work and learning that takes place at our schools. That's why, four times a year, we distribute news and views from our schools. It is packed with information about what our students have been up to, student work, and ongoing initiatives.

TRIP stands for Tuition Reduction Incentive Program 
Once you have registered with the program you may purchase vouchers or gift cards from our wide variety of suppliers. You pay face value for these cards, so if you pay $25, you receive a card or voucher worth $25. There is no cost to you! These orders are filled by the school which purchases in large volume and receives a percentage discount. We split the discount in two ways - a portion goes to our NACE Bursary program, and the balance goes towards reducing your tuition for the following year. Check out the order form for more details and to see what a great selection of stores and suppliers have signed on to our program!
