Step 3: Explore your courses and pathway.

• The courses available for next year have been uploaded into myBlueprint and are available to populate into your High School Plan.

• Here is a useful guide to Selecting Courses in myBlueprint.

• Please use the Course Selection sheets as a guide to help you in choosing your courses. These are not to be handed in this year. Please use these sheets for planning until your Bloor CI course selection is open in myBlueprint.

• Graduating students will indicate their desired pathway with the following codes in the “Graduating Students” Discipline:

  • ZAPPRE - Apprenticeship

  • ZCOLLG - College

  • ZUNIVR - University

  • ZWORK - Work

• Students planning for the future will find it helpful to:

  • Forwards Plan - think of what courses you want to take and where this can lead you

  • Backwards Plan - explore careers you are interested in, then reverse plan what university/college/apprenticeship pathway will get you to that career, and then reverse plan what high school courses you will need to get there.

  • A useful guide is here: Forward and Backwards Planning Guide

Step 4: Populate your High School Plan to be ready for course selection.
