Important Document(s):
Enhanced
The MST program allows students with similar interests to work together on projects that are hands-on and self-directed. Many challenges and opportunities await MST students such as Math contests, Sci-Tech Fair, Engineering Team, Sci-Squad, field trips and more.
Opportunities
As students progress to Grade 12, their course options increase to support a wide variety of post-secondary opportunities. Students will have the option to choose AP courses that are offered and/or join one of 3 SHSM program sectors offered at our school (Health & Wellness, ICT, Construction).
