Art Metal 11 is designed to familiarize students with basic art metal and jewelry concepts and techniques. Students will learn how to design and construct artifacts from metal and other small projects. Safety will be emphasized in the operation of hand and power tools.  For the most part, student projects will be self initiated. The job skills taught in this course will help students develop good work habits. As well as practical skills, creativity and problem solving are strongly encouraged.

Art Metal and Jewellery 12 is primarily inquiry based, and emphasizes the safe use of tools and equipment used in metal fabrication.  Theories, processes and practices from previous Art metal jewellery courses will be expanded on.  Safety and competency will be emphasized throughout. Students must be able to work cooperatively and independently.  

Metal 11 is primarily inquiry based, and emphasizes the safe use of machinery and equipment used in the metal fabrication industry. First, students will make several skill practice pieces (Welds, torch cuts, lathe turning etc.) and then will move to ideate and design student works. Safety and competency will be emphasized throughout. Students must be able to work cooperatively and independently.

Auto Tech 11 is an introductory course dealing with the operation, maintenance, and inspection of the automobile. Topics include: the automotive engine and the related subsystems used in a vehicle. These include the brakes, steering, ignition, and other various systems that make up an automobile. Safety and competency will be emphasized throughout this course. The student will have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of safety and competency by working with hand tools, power tools, and other required equipment as they maintain and repair vehicles and engines. This is a hands-on course 

Auto Tech 12 is a continuation of AT 11. The course expands and delves into more of the subsystems used in the automobile. Automatic and manual transmissions, clutches, drivelines, ignitions and different types of power systems (diesel, rotary, and hybrid) may be examined. Students are challenged to become analytical and be able to troubleshoot mechanical and electrical problems common in today’s modern vehicles. Safety and competency are emphasized. Students must be able to work independently at times. This is a hands-on course. 

This course is designed to introduce students to the very basics of owning, operating, servicing and purchasing a vehicle. 

Novice Car Care and Maintenance is an experienced based hands on course. The development and improvement of basic mechanical skills, logical thought processes, and good safety habits are also parts of the course. Emphasis will be  for students to build confidence towards basic automotive systems and to help them become an empowered vehicle owner.

This is not a prerequisite for more advanced secondary Automotive courses.

The purpose of this course is to learn simple circuit design and construction, circuit boards, common electronic components, schematic diagrams, microcontrollers and microprocessors, problem solving of circuit construction, and designing cycles. Students will learn Ohm’s and Watt’s law and electrical safety. 

This course expands on the fundamentals examined in Metal Fabrication and Machining 11 and 12 with a specialized focus on the welding and associated fabrication skills needed to become proficient in this area. Students improve their knowledge and skills through project-based learning and in-depth experience in Welding, Fabrication, Machining and related skills 

In this senior level project-based learning course, students will continue to explore and fine tune their technical drawing skills through hand drafting and computer assisted drafting (CAD) activities. Students will have the opportunity to explore 3D solid modeling. Students will expand their ability to read a set of design plans, learn how to layout and compose more complex technical drawings, and learn more about the industry standards of formatting and the terminology used. This skill is a huge asset and is highly recommended for anyone interested in any technical career like Graphic Design, Engineering, Architecture and Interior Design, and in most trade careers such as Carpentry, Plumbing, Welding, Automotive and Metal Fabrication. Being able to communicate one's ideas and design solutions through a technical drawing is one of the fundamental bases for success in these career fields.  

Woodwork 11 is designed to familiarize students with basic woodworking concepts and techniques. Students will learn how to design and construct furniture and other small projects. Safety will be emphasized in the operation of stationary and portable power tools, and a variety of other hand tools. For the most part, student projects will be self-initiated. The job skills taught in this course will help students develop good work habits. As well as practical skills, creativity and problem solving are strongly encouraged. 

Woodwork 12 is the continuation of Carpentry and Joinery 11. Students will learn how to design and construct furniture and other small projects. Competence, confidence and safety will be emphasized in the operation of stationary and portable power tools, and a variety of other hand tools. Techniques of proper planning, design and orderly development of self-initiated projects will be done on an individual or small group basis. This course is an asset to anyone considering a career in cabinet making, furniture design or other or other related vocations. 

The purpose of this course is to study advanced cabinet construction techniques and joinery. Students will construct an advanced level cabinet designed to further develop confidence, safety procedures and project management skills. Students will be expected to learn and demonstrate general employability skills. Students will also develop strategies and skills that may be used in post-secondary education in this field. Students will develop the skills to distinguish between form and function and how each element is considered in furniture design.
