COURSE GUIDE

École secondaire Neelin High School provides this guide to assist students and parents in understanding the content of courses and the organization of senior years programs. The guide is intended to be used in family discussions that will assist students in making wise program and course choices. Future career opportunities will be influenced by present course selections. Students should honestly and seriously assess their own personal interests, abilities, aspirations, and long-term plans and use this assessment as a guide for choosing courses.

After self-assessment and family discussions, students and/or parents are encouraged to consult with school staff regarding course planning. Such planning is critical to meeting the requirements of post-secondary educational institutions and the work force.

THE SEMESTERS

The school year is divided into two equal halves (semesters). Semester 1 runs from September to the end of January. Semester 2 runs from February to June. Most courses at École secondaire Neelin High School are scheduled during one semester; however, a few courses run throughout the year.

REPORT CARDS

The first report card will be issued approximately halfway through each semester and final report cards will be issued in February and June. Parents are invited to contact classroom teachers regarding any questions or concerns about the student’s performance. Teachers’ e-mail addresses are listed on the school website. Parent-teacher conferences will be scheduled once per semester, approximately one week after the first report card.

HOME LOGIC

Parents are welcome to access student information through their home computers using the Home Logic program. Information such as daily attendance, course timetables, course assignments and student’s academic progress is available. Parents are encouraged to contact the office to set up their account.

STUDENT FEES

Student fees will be paid during the first week of school. This fee entitles each student to a yearbook, a school agenda, locker rental, school shirt, and participation in student council planned functions.

AGE OF MAJORITY

Students who are 18 years of age or older are legally entitled to have sole access to their education information including attendance and academic performance. Schools must comply with this unless age of majority students sign a ‘release of information’.

As students turn 18, parents will be notified of the change of access to information and parent and student will be sent a release form. Students who are 18 may sign these forms and return them to the school office. Parents may continue to receive school reports only if their 18 year old student provides the school with written consent.

PERFORMANCE RECOGNITION

At École secondaire Neelin High School we feel it is important to recognize the performance of our students in both curricular and extra-curricular activities. Proudly, we have in place a very comprehensive system of recognition to acknowledge academic achievement as well as contributions to our extra-curricular programming. We include the École secondaire Neelin High School Honours Society, the Grade 9, 10, 11 and 12 General Proficiency Award, Grade 12 Governor General Bronze Medal, Committee/Club Awards, Music Awards and Athletic Awards.

The IB Diploma Programme is a comprehensive and challenging pre-university program that demands the best from both motivated students and teachers. This sophisticated two-year curriculum covers a wide range of academic subjects and has stood the test of time for over half a million students in over 130 countries since 1968. IB Diploma graduates are welcomed by the world’s leading universities.

Universities recognize the outstanding qualities of IB Diploma Programme students. Typically, diploma holders are ready to debate real-world issues from an international perspective and to provide leadership and support in the local and global community. They are able to ask challenging questions but also know how to research a topic and express their opinion. They have a strong sense of their own culture and identity, as well as the ability to communicate in two or more languages with people who have a different perspective of the world.

The IB Diploma Programme is widely recognized for its high academic standards. IB students choose to study in six subject areas. A minimum of three of the six areas must be Higher Level (HL). The assessment is varied and takes place over two years, with final examinations in

each subject. Students’ work is assessed by a trained international board of examiners.

Subjects are scored on a 1-7 scale along with a maximum of three

points available for Theory of Knowledge and the Extended

Essay. Students who display good levels of performance across all six subjects and achieve a minimum of 24 points (out of a possible 45) are awarded the diploma.

If a student scores an E on either the TOK or EE they

must score a minimum of 28 points. Students who do not

receive a diploma will receive a certificate for each of the subjects

successfully completed.

Students in Grade 9 and 10 who are considering the IB Programme are highly recommended to meet with the academic counsellor to make proper course selections in Grade 9 and 10.

UNIQUE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES

The IB Diploma Programme goes beyond the six subject groups that students study. At its heart are the following three core requirements that are integral to the curriculum and make the IB Diploma Programme unique.

THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE (TOK32S, TOK42S)1 Credit

Theory of Knowledge is a practical subject that helps the student understand himself or herself and the subjects he or she is studying, or may study in the future. TOK examines the nature of knowledge in each of the traditional academic disciplines of natural science, math, human sciences, history, the arts and ethics. It explains how we know what we know -- our ways-of-knowing that include sense perception, reason, emotion, faith, language and creativity. TOK invites the student to think critically about the different forms of knowledge and ways-of-knowing, as well as to evaluate and relate them to his or her own ways of knowing, thinking, learning and creating. Through discussion, knowledge becomes meaningful. TOK classes are occasions when students and teachers spend time talking, listening, and discussing them. Various cultural perspectives should be explored, particularly through students’ discussion of their own experiences.

TOK students do an internally assessed presentation on a knowledge issue related to class discussion and an externally evaluated essay on a question chosen from a list prepared by the IB organization.

CREATIVITY, ACTION, SERVICE (CAS)

The goal of this course is powerful experiential learning.CAS requires students to plan, carry out and reflect upon a range of activities that include and combine creativity, action and service. Students doing CAS increase their awareness of strengths and areas for growth, undertake new challenges, plan and initiate activities, work collaboratively with others, show perseverance and commitment, engage with issues of global importance, consider ethical implications and develop new skills. The CAS student must maintain a portfolio of reflections, records and artifacts and participate in a public celebration of CAS learning in the spring of the second year in the IB programme.

EXTENDED ESSAY (EE)

This is an externally assessed, independent research assignment of 4000 words in one of the six subject areas. This is one of the ways IB Diploma Programme students can specialize in a certain area and prepare for university studies. Students choose a staff advisor to mentor them as they complete this research process. The Extended Essay is mandatory for IB Diploma candidates.

French Immersion has been a part of École Secondaire Neelin High School since the 1984-85 school year. This program provides opportunity for those students who wish to continue with their french language development. Every effort is made, prior to the registration process, to provide opportunity for parents and students to gain a clear understanding of the Immersion program, its advantages and indeed any difficulties it may pose for young people at the high school level. Over the course of four years, the French Immersion program continues to challenge students to develop their skills in four core competencies: oral comprehension, oral production, written comprehension and written production.

FRANÇAIS 10F (FRA10F) Un but général du programme d’immersion et du cours de français est de développer un bilinguisme fonctionnel chez l’étudiant(e). Le cours de français est axé sur la communication orale et écrite. On se sert d’une variété de ressources dont les documents authentiques, les romans, les revues et les extraits de lecture. La participation de l’élève est primordiale. Il y aura aussi des activités (et sorties scolaires) planifiées pour mettre l’étudiant(e) dans une variété de situations de communication authentique.

FRANÇAIS 20F (FRA20F)Pré-requis: FRA10F Le cours de français vise l’affermissement des connaissances langagières acquises par l’élève tant au niveau de la compréhension que de l’expression et de la production. Ce processus se fera par la lecture, l’analyse, la discussion du contenu, du style, du langage utilisé et du rôle joué par les différentes formes de communication. Nous servirons de plusieurs documents, notamment, de romans, de poèmes, d’articles de journaux et de revues et de quelques émissions de télévision. Toutes les parties du cours mettront l’accent sur l’éclaircissement et l’approfondissement de la compréhension grammaticale de l’élève. L’élève sera appelé(e) à produire des textes et d’autres types de documents qui émontreront ses aptitudes à manipuler les concepts et les éléments du discours étudié. L’évaluation de l’élève se fera à partir d’un grand nombre de méthodes qui incluent, parmi d’autres, des critères objectifs et subjectifs, des tests et épreuves, et des présentations orales et écrites.

FRANÇAIS 30S (FRA30S)Pré-requis: FRA20F Le programme de la 11e année ne diffère pas sensiblement du programme qui a été suivi en 10e année au niveau de la démarche et des objectifs visés. L’élève sera mis dans des situations structurées et non structurées où il ou elle aura l’occasion de lire, d’analyser, d’écouter, de visionner et de produire des documents dont le style et l’intention seront variés. Un plus grand accent sera mis sur l’exploration du rôle de producteur et de récepteur d’un discours donné et la façon d’améliorer nos techniques de communication afin de rendre plus efficace notre interaction avec d’autres interlocuteurs. L’évaluation du travail de l’élève se fera à partir de plusieurs instruments de mesure. Il est à noter que les collègues de l’élève auront un rôle important dans l’évaluation du travail et de la participation de l’élève.

FRANÇAIS 40S (FRA40S)Pré-requis: FRA30S Cette dernière tranche du programme de français aidera l’élève à parfaire ses aptitudes en français. En suivant la démarche entreprise dans les cours précédents, le cours utilisera de différents documents afin d’étudier tous les éléments du français. Ce cours mettra accent sur les documents expressifs et ludiques-poétiques qui exigeront de l’élève une plus importante participation personnelle aux discussions dans la classe. Il est envisagé que nous nous penchions sur l’étude de discours traditionnels, de romans, de nouvelles, de réclames publicitaires ainsi que d’autres documents. Les élèves seront appelés à présenter des documents analytiques et expressifs. Des présentations orales et écrites, des débats, des affiches, des poèmes et des pièces de théâtre serviront de base à l’apprentissage ainsi qu’à l’évaluation dans ce cours. À la fin de cours, l’élève sera requis(e) de partiper au test basé sur les normes au niveau provincial.

ÉDUCATION PHYSIQUE/HYGIENE (PED10FF, PED20FF, PED30FF, PED40FF) Le cours est conçu afin d’améliorer les connaissances de la santé, contribuer aux besoins personnels du conditionnement physique et le bien être, aussi bien que développer les habiletés fondamentales dans le domaine des sports. Les élèves auront l’occasion d’apprécier un style de vie actif tout en s’impliquant dans des activités qui mettent l’emphase sur la participation, l’effort et les qualités de chef.

The Neelin Life Skills Program is a Senior Years program for individuals with significant intellectual disabilities who generally do not benefit from department developed curricula. Life Skills implements functional, individualized programming and accommodates students who range in age from 14 to 21. Students registering in the program are required to meet cognitive and adaptive functioning criteria as identified by the Brandon School Division. Parents, educators, administrators and other members of the student’s support team meet PRIOR to registration at Neelin to determine the transition process, age of placement, and program design.

The overall objective of the Neelin Life Skills Program is to achieve maximum personal and community independence skills. These skills are taught through functional literacy, functional numeracy, health and community living classes, and programming in other areas such as family life, social skills, fitness / recreational skills, vocational skills, communication skills, and occupational and/or physiotherapy programming. Although the Life Skills program is a cluster classroom arrangement, we are inclusive in Neelin’s school setting. The program is community based with several community outings, community work experience sites, and sport and recreational activities that take place in Brandon.

Student programs are managed through Individual Education Plans and Transitions Plans which are developed in collaboration with the student and their identified support team. Students can stay in the Life Skills program and graduate in June of the calendar year they turn 21. At graduation, Life Skills students receive an “Individualized” diploma.
