TRANSITION PLAN

Your transition plan is an exploration and documentation of

your plans beyond your life as a secondary school student.

Consider the following questions:

What are you planning to do?

Work/employment, skills upgrading, post-secondary

education, training etc….

Where will you pursue your plan?

Are you staying in Fernie? Moving to another

community?

Why have you decided on that particular route?

What interests, aptitudes, skills led you to this

decision?

How will you fulfill your plan?

You will document finances, supports, and

preparation.

To create your transition plan you will be using information from

prior learning activities, which you completed in: Planning 10,

Career Prep. Program, Post Secondary Career Exploration, and

various other courses.

Assessment: Completed transitions documents will be recorded

as an “RM” letter grade (requirements met) on your transcripts.

NOTE:

Please hand in to Mrs. Christenson at the OFFICE.

PERSONAL HEALTH AND ACTIVITY

PERSONAL HEALTH - DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Effective September 2008, the Ministry of Education requires

that all Grade 10 -12 students document and report a

minimum of 150 minutes (2.5 hours) per week of physical

activity, at a moderate to vigorous intensity, as part of their

Graduation Transitions Program.

Students can document this in two ways. The first is a paper

version, which will require documenting and describing all

physical activities participated in. Activities may include

anything from participating in team sports, to walking your

dog.

The second method of documenting can be done online

through LearnNowBC (LNBC). First time users to LNBC will

be required to sign up before they can access the Daily

Physical Activity (DPA) application.

Sign up is done at the LNBC URL at www.learnnowbc.ca.

Follow the instructions to create an account. LNBC offers a

variety of Student Services including Course Finder, Tutoring,

Academic Advising, Daily Physical Activity and Libraries.

Click on the DPA icon, and follow the instructions. Once

completed, the log of DPA can be printed and included in the

Transitions Package.

Remember, this section is supposed to be meaningful and

benefit your health now and in the future. Please make an

effort to choose activities that you enjoy and will possibly

become a part of your lifelong physical activity routine.

WAYS OF DEALING WITH STRESS

IF YOU ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF STRESS, IT CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH. PLEASE LOOK AT SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS LISTED BELOW TO HELP REDUCE STRESS.

1. RE-SET YOUR BODY CLOCK Set yourself a reasonable wake-up time and bedtime. Stick to it. Allow up to 3 weeks to re-set your body clock. ** During the daytime get some exposure to natural light.

2. GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK TODAY Repair and regenerate. Every morning prioritize a list of everything that needs to be done. “Then cut the bottom half off the list.”

3. LIGHTEN UP YOUR LOAD OF SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT (Say “no”) 4. POSTPONE A CHANGE IN YOUR LIVING ENVIRONMENT

Change = Stress. Even good change adds stress.

5. NO MORE THAN 40 HOURS/WEEK AT WORK OR SCHOOL 6. KEEP BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS STEADY

Avoid the highs and lows caused by sugar, candy, caffeine & alcohol. ** Choose cereal, pasta, bread & rice: they will provide a slow even release of sugar. Eating vegetables will increase the production of “serotonin” a happy messenger.

7. ALLERGIES Avoid foods or any items that may trigger your allergies.

8. EXERCISE This will give the nerve cells in the brain a chance to rest (stop worrying). Rest your mind: choose music, art, read, create etc.

9. RESIST THE USE OF DRUGS AND TRANQUILIZERS They may block out the overstressed feelings short term but can do long term damage.

10. TAKE SEVERAL 30-SECOND BREAKS TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW OR STRETCH

11. MEDITATE, OR PRACTICE A RELAXATION TECHNIQUE LIKE YOGA, OR TAI CHI.

12. HUG YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

13. SEEK COUNSELLING OR MEDICAL HELP
