Grade 9 Orientation will occur on the first day of school.
Please join us for our Information Night for Families on Thursday December 11, 2025 6:30-8:00pm. We will meet in the auditorium and then after a brief presentation, families and students will be able to tour the school.
These will occur at our feeder schools in December 2025
Since September 2022, all students working at grade level are in the same pathway in all Grade 9 courses. Students not yet currently working at grade level with modifications or gaps in their education may still enrol in Locally Developed Courses with recommendation from a Multi-Focus Special Education Team.

The Venture program is a two-credit integrated-curriculum package that grade 9 students who are not already a part of the Integrated Arts program at TAS, may be enrolled in. Venture is an outdoor education initiative that combines a grade 9 Geography course with a grade 9 Healthy Active Living course that introduces students to a variety of outdoor activities. Students will have the same classmates and teacher for a two-period timetable block in the morning or afternoon.
Venture introduces students to learning in, about, and through the natural world in an interdisciplinary setting. Students in the program will often venture into the outdoors to observe and study the natural patterns, processes, interactions, and phenomena of their local bioregion while making connections between their home and other regions.
Venture students will learn and practice a variety of outdoor activities and skills such as cross-country skiing, cycling, orienteering, canoeing, and camping. These activities and skills will provide students with an opportunity to safely venture into, access, or experience natural settings.
An application process will be followed in order to facilitate enrollment into Venture. Students wishing to be part of Venture should be aware that not all applicants will be enrolled, some of the activities will require a fair degree of physical fitness, and the expectations for academic responsibility (i.e. attendance, accountability, participation) are high.
Applications for 2026/27 will be due end of January 2025: http://bit.ly/TASVentureApplication
Please note: The Venture Program is for students who are in-bound to TAS. Students who are out of our boundary OR out of board must submit an out of boundary registration/out of board package and be approved by the Principal before being considered for this program.
