Community Service Student-Initiated Project (CSSIP)
Students can contribute to their community by volunteering for worthwhile causes or organizations. The civic knowledge, skills, and attitudes obtained from such community service activities can increase a student’s self-esteem and maturity and provide more awareness of the needs of others in the community. Students can earn a half or full credit towards their senior high diploma.
S.T.E.P (Student Training Employability Program)
This is a comprehensive, individualized work education program focused to meet many of the needs of these learners and provide work-integrated learning opportunities. Students in the program will attend academic classes for six weeks, followed by a work/volunteer placement for three weeks. This cycle will continue throughout the school year. The work site component of the program will allow students to gain practical work experience, develop references, explore future careers and improve connections within our city, community and school. Students who complete the program will graduate with a regular high school diploma, however it should be noted that the intention of the academic work and work placements are to prepare the students with skills to enter the workforce upon graduation. Students must be referred to this program by a teacher, counsellor, principal, etc.
Work placement is a means of achieving teaching/learning goals, objectives, and/or outcomes within existing courses. Work placement is not a course, but rather attached to other credit courses. Any course is able to incorporate a work placement provided the teacher is connecting to curriculum.
