Graduation Information & Program Planning Guide

GRADUATION PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Students are to choose ONE Fine Arts or one Applied Skills course sometime during their graduation program years, although we would encourage students to complete this requirement in Grade 10.

Students write five provincial exams: English 10, Science 10, Mathematics 10, Social Studies 11 or First Nations Studies 12, and English 12 or Communications 12. (French Immersion-Franḉais Langue 12 in addition to above.)

All students must complete Graduation Transitions and Work Experience 12 as a requirement for Graduation.

All students must complete Ministry prescribed Daily Physical activity. For grade 10-12 students, 150 minutes/week must be reported. These minutes can be obtained by attending appropriate SHSS classes or can be obtained through documented extra-curricular activities.

LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH IS NOT REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION: It is not necessary to have a "second language" to obtain a secondary graduation certificate -- to graduate from SHSS.

We believe that while a Language 11 may not be required for graduation, there are some excellent reasons for students to pursue the study of a second language. It is commonly required for entrance or exit requirements in many post-secondary programs. Although, for instance, not required for entry to Selkirk College, if you plan to complete a degree at UBC after spending a year or two at Selkirk, you will need to complete your 2nd language requirement as a degree requirement at UBC. RUSSIAN 11 AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. Many universities have stated that they will accept Russian 11 as a language that meets the admissions requirement. If credit for Russian is given, at least 3 years of study at the secondary level must be completed. Please check with individual admissions requirements.

School counseling services provide non-categorical resource services designed to support students, their families and educators. These services are intended to facilitate the educational, personal, social, emotional and career development of students in schools and in the community. School counselors provide a continuum of preventative, developmental, remedial and intervention services and programs and facilitate referral to community resources. The school counselor’s role includes counseling, school-based consultation, co-ordination and education. School counseling functions provide both an intervention and prevention service. The counselor:

Promotes personal and social development appropriate to developmental stages

Counsels students, their families and the community to foster growth in the students’ self esteem, individual responsibility and in skills such as decision-making and social skills

Helps identify factors which may precipitate problems for students

Enhances students’ educational achievement through goal setting and activities such as promotion of effective work and study habits

Provides appropriate interventions to assist students with school-related problems and issues

Facilitate the goals of career education by assisting students and their families to explore and clarify the student’s career options, through developmental activities that stress decision-making, personal planning and career awareness.

5

School counselors consult and plan collaboratively with students, other educators, the school based team, parents, community agency personnel and other professionals in planning goals and effective strategies to promote the development of students. As a member of the school-based team, school counselors assist in the access to and coordination of school, district and other community services for students. Coordination may include information gathering, case management, referral, and liaison among home, school and community. School counselors frequently assist students with transitions between schools throughout the K-12 system and with post-secondary plans. From BC Ministry of Education

iPlay10: integrated Personalized Lifestyle Activities for You! (MPE--10IP) How do you iPlay? This yearlong course is a unique opportunity for SHSS students to meet the B.C. Prescribed Learning Outcomes for grade 10 Physical Education. This course is a blended, off timetable course, which means that part of the course is delivered online via the iPlay blog, and part of the course is face to face. We meet face to face when regularly scheduled classes are not in session, i.e. lunch, after or before school.

• iPlayers may use a maximum of 60 hours towards any one specific activity (i.e hockey, soccer, dance, skiing, etc.)

• iplayers can find a list of activities when they log into the their DPA tracker log • iPlay physical activities may be school, or community-based. • iPlayers regularly document their activities through an online tool called a DPA Tracker. • iPlayers share and show what they know as it relates to the PLO’s through regular bi-weekly

online conversations on the iPlay blog.

CROSS-TRAINING 10/11/12 (YHRA10B)(YHRA11B)(YHRA12B) Off-timetable This course has been developed for those female students wanting a more comprehensive course in conditioning principles. It would allow students to develop an individual program based on their specific needs in different sports and activities. It will enable students to make use of all facilities and equipment by offering this course outside of the regular school timetable. Also, it would allow students to continue a physical education and fitness regime without sacrificing an academic block found within the regular school day. Students will learn principles in such techniques as weight training, agility and balance training, nutrition and energy system usage and apply them to a self-designed program suited to their specific needs.

23
