We hope that the course descriptions found in this booklet will help you make wise decisions. We encourage you to read them carefully.
Each student will be required to complete the course selection process.
Your choice of electives should be based on your interests, abilities, past school achievements, and educational plans. Language, math and science admission requirements for post-secondary education need to be considered carefully when selecting courses.
Students, parents, and guardians are always welcome to discuss course selections and other concerns with a counsellor.
We hope that you will choose your elective courses carefully. In special cases, your counsellor may consider a request for a course change if this is made early in the semester; however, these changes are dependent on available spaces in classes. Some classes may be cancelled due to insufficient enrolment.
It is the responsibility of students and parents to ensure that course selections meet the unique admission requirements of every institution they are considering attending.
This is a student-centred service. Students are encouraged to see a counsellor for help with:
