Determining not what you want to be,
but rather who you want to be.

but rather who you want to be.
Planning one’s own career-life is an ongoing process that is not limited to one major decision; rather, purposeful planning extends across one’s lifetime. Setting personal, meaningful goals, recognizing relevant opportunities, cultivating supportive relationships, and revising one’s life plan is a “requirement for educated citizens in an ever-changing world” (BC Curriculum- CLE/ CLC).
The mission of education is to foster educated citizens who are lifelong learners. An essential component to this goal then is the ability to build one’s own self-awareness regarding interests, strengths, and challenges, and to use this knowledge to develop opportunities and connections that assist in obtaining both personal and professional goals.
The Career Education curriculum will be delivered over a 5-year time frame with each year based on specific themes. These themes incorporate the revised B.C. curriculum (2018) as well as the 21st Century skills and knowledge students will need in the future.
In Grade 12, as part of Career Life Connections, students will participate in their final Showcase presentation where they will reflect and present their individual learning journey experienced throughout the Career Education program.
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going outside your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to”
