The courses offered by this school have been developed according to the requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Education. GENERAL INFORMATION The purpose of this course prospectus is to provide parents and students with the information currently available in order to select a program appropriate to the individual needs of each student. The calendar lists the requirements for a diploma and provides descriptions of each course that will be offered in 1985 -86 at this high school. Ultimately the responsibility for a student's program rests with parents and, in the case of a student over eighteen, with the student. However, the school offers considerable advice to assist in this decision - making process. For students entering Grade 9, the recommendations of the Grade 8 teachers are the most useful assistance available. For students already registered at this school the Guidance Department can offer advice and consultation in deciding on course selection. It is very important that students, in consultation with parents and the school staff, select courses very carefully. The following guidelines for course selection are strongly suggested: 1) Select courses concerned with the development of the basic skills so that you will be able to continue your education with competence and confidence. 2) Courses that are geared to your own abilities, interests, needs, and educational goals should be selected. Be certain that you do not unnecessarily restrict your future occupational and educational choices by selecting only those courses that interest you. 3) Select courses in such a way that your program possesses the qualities of coherence, continuity and balance. 4) Courses must be selected to include the compulsory subjects. 5) A French immersion program is offered in Grades 9, 10 and 11 for students who have been enrolled in a French Immersion program previously. 6) In choosing courses for each year, you should seek help fro school guidance personnel, your parents, and your teachers. 7) Courses of Study are available at the school for parents and students to examine. EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS Parents and students are expected to make realistic program selections based on the student's individual needs, abilities and past performance. Once the commitment is made to a particular program, students are expected to follow their commitment in a responsible manner. Regular attendance on the part of students is vital to the process of learn- ing. When the processes and content of learning are disrupted by irregular attendance, both the individual student and the class suffer a loss of ex- periences that cannot be entirely replaced. Students who habitually miss a class suffer in the evaluation process because their participation and achievement cannot be assessed. After a certain number of classes have been missed, the student's status in a course will be reassessed. Should the end result of this consultation not result in a pattern of regular attendance, the student would normally fail to achieve credit for this course. A student Code of Behaviour has been developed with input from parents, students and teachers. It is available in the Parent - Student Handbook presented to students on the first day of school in September. COURSE TRANSFERS Option sheets are normally available in February. Students can still change a selection in their program until the end of June. Once summer school results are completed in early August, the student will fulfil the commitment that was made to this program. Further changes beyond summer school will only be done to correct timetable errors. Proper selection of an appropriate program in February will prevent any future difficulties with a program selection. DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED 1) Credit - One credit is granted for the successful completion of a course for which a minimum of 110 hours has been scheduled. 2) Level - A student's program consists of courses at three different levels of difficulty - Basic, General, Advanced. Basic - a course which provides the student with the opportunity to gain basic knowledge and skills in selected subjects. General - a course at this level should be considered as appropriate preparation for employment or further education in community colleges;however, these courses may not provide suitable background for Grade 13 (0. A. C.) courses. Advanced - a course at this level should be considered as appropriate preparation for, but not necessarily a prerequisite to, Grade 13 (0. A. C.) courses, certain community college courses, and University. ii Advanced level courses that are enriched for gifted students are offered where feasible. The achievement of such students is reported at the advanced level so that all students taking an advanced level course, whether it is enriched or not, will receive comparative assessments. 3) Ontario Academic Course (0. A. C.) - A prescriptive, provincially designed university- entrance course. 4) Prerequisite Course - A course is designated as a prerequisite for a subsequent course only if it is absolutely essential for the successful understanding of the subsequent course. Prerequisite courses are only established by ministry curriculum guidelines. 5) Code - Course codes were designed by the Ministry of Education to provide uniformity in student transcripts for Ontario secondary schools. A five or six character code is used to distinguish each course. The first three alphabetical characters indicate the subject group, the course group, and the course; e.g., AMA = ARTS, MUSIC, INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC. The first numerical digit indicates the grade and the following alpha character indicates the level of instruction; e.g., 1G = Grade 9, general level. The complete code for Introduction to Music, Grade 9, General level, would be AMA1G. The sixth character (alphabetic) added to the basic five character code will indicate a differentiation between courses; e.g., E = ENRICHED. A sixth character (numeric) indicates a differentiation between courses from the same Ministry guideline. Grade Indicators: 1 = Grade 9 2 = Grade 10 3 = Grade 11 4 = Grade 12 5 = Grade 13 0 = 0. A. C. Level of Instruction Indicators: B = Basic G = General A = Advanced Course Differentiation Indicators: E = Enriched F - French (undifferentiated) L - Late Immersion French R - Early Immersion French C - Co -op Education - 1 credit D - Co -op Education - 2 credits S - Skills (life skills) T - Transitional (summer school) W - Work Experience Examples of AMU1A = AMA1G = BKT1G = FSF3AE = MAL5A = PEM3A = PHF1G = SNC2AF = TAM4G = NFS3G2 - 1, 2, 3, or 4 = courses developed from the same Ministry guide- line at the same grade level and same level of difficulty.

Prepared in conjunction with the Science, Mathematics, Geography and History Departments, the program offers the Immersion student the opportunity to pursue his /her development in the French language. The Carleton Board of Education is offering a Bilingual certificate for Immersion students who will have completed twelve credits in French Immersion by the end of Grade 12. It is, therefore, strongly recommended that students register in the options as follows: Grade 9 - 4 or 5 options: French Literature, French Writing, Science, Geography, Mathematics Grade 10 - 4 options: French Literature, French Writing, Science, History Grade 11 - 2 options: French Literature & Writing, Geography Grade 12 - 1 or 2 options: French Literature & Writing, another course to be determined for the 1986 -87 school year. vii ONTARIO STUDENT TRANSCRIPT A record of the courses completed successfully and the credits earned in secondary school is entered on the Ontario Student Transcript. The level of achievement attained in each course can only be recorded as a percentage on the transcript. The transcript is maintained as the student progresses through school and will indicate the number of credits earned towards the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. When a student has gained a minimum of eight credits in either business studies or technological studies, the transcript shall reflect this concentration of courses. The transcript is available to both students and parents and provides a valuable summary for their use. ACHIEVEMENT Evaluation is not an end in itself but rather part of the learning process for both the teacher and the student. During the school year, formative evaluation will occur on a regular basis. At the completion of each course, summative evaluation will occur. Its purpose is to judge the student's achievement in relation to the stated objectives of the course. The procedures for evaluating student progress will be sufficiently varied to meet the requirements of different groups of students, different courses and different levels of difficulty as well as a variety of learning environments. the specific proceure for each course will be given at the commencement of each course to every student in the course. The course descriptions contained in this calendar also contain an overview of each course. EXAMINATION POLICY, REPORTS AND EVALUATION Formal evaluation will take place in January in all subject areas, in the form of examinations or major tests, and will be compulsory for all students. Final examinations in academic subjects will be held in June with recommendation privileges. The privilege of a "recommendation" (i.e., exemption from writing a final examination) in any subject may be granted if the student has a 65% average in that subject. Should a student not write the January examination in any course for any reason, the June examination must be written as part of the evaluation process. Credit is granted when the student's final mark in a course is 50% or better. Progress reports are issued in November, February and April. A report indicating the student's final standing in the courses taken will be issued at the end of the school year. Work will be evaluated on a day —to —day performance. Attendance, test results, projects, essays, notes, research papers, oral answers and quality of practical work, as well as formal examinations and major tests will be the basis for this evaluation. A student may repeat a course in which he is successful in order to improve his standing, but no further credit may be given. viii Students are advised to keep report cards on file as a record of progress at school. In addition, a copy of the student's accumulated credits is issued each year and should be kept for reference. There will be an opportunity for parents to visit the school following the issuing of reports in november and February. However, it is not necessary to Wait for the reporting date to do this. Parents are requested to phone the school office to arrange an appointment to discuss any problems which may arise during the school year. NOTES Students and parents should note that not all of the O.S.I.S. supporting documents are currently available from the Ministry of Education. As soon as additional information is available, it will be shared with students and parents. Ontario Academic Courses (OACs) will be based on the curriculum guidelines presently in use for Grade 13 courses until such time as the Ministry of Education issues new course guidelines. The offering of any course in this calendar is subject to sufficient enrolment, availability of teachers and facilities. Full information regarding entrance requirements to Community Colleges and Universities is available in the Guidance Office. Use the Guidance facilities as required. The Principal, Vice - Principal and Head of Administration are available for consultation at all times. HOMEWORK DURING EXTENDED ABSENCES Homework may be requested for students who will be absent for a week or more from school due to illness. GUIDANCE SERVICES Guidance is an educational process designed to help students to a better under- standing of themselves, the opportunities available to them and their responsi= bilities. Personal Counselling provides each student with an opportunity to develop a positive self -image and explore ways of coping with personal concerns. Counsellors may enlist the assistance of other professionals within the school or refer to agencies outside the school; i.e., Special Services of the Carleton Board of Education, the Royal Ottawa Hospital, and the Children's Hospital Youth Clinic for assistance. Calendars from every University in Canada and the Community Colleges in Ontario are available to the students and used in educational counselling. In addition, the Student Guidance Information Service provides descriptions of programs and courses offered at 165 post- secondary intitutions. This service ix will also provide career descriptions for 1,000 careers and the admission requirements for them. In Career Planning, the counsellors help students to relate their own interest, aptitude and achievement test results to possible careers. During Career Week in November and throughout the year, students will be encouraged to participate in Work Experience programs and other activities to gain additional information about careers. The Ontario School Record System is maintained within the Guidance Department A complete record of the student's academic achievement is kept on file and continually updated to reflect credits earned at day school, night school, summer school or correspondence courses, etc. The information from these files is entered on the approximately 100 student applications to University and another hundred applications to Community Colleges each year. The information is also used to respond to roughly 250 requests from former students for an Official School Transcript. Letters of recommendation for employment and scholarships frequently require this information as well. GRADE 8 ORIENTATION PROGRAM The Grade 8 home room teachers conduct information sessions with their classes early in January when this course calendar has been received. The South Carleton High School liaison officer conducts further information seminars regarding both the registration arid high school life in general. A follow —up service is provided. It is the responsibility of the parent to contact the Grade 8 teacher regarding the recommended program for the student. Grade 8 students are conducted on a tour of South Carleton High School in January in order that they may become familiar with the school and to assist them in making appropriate course selections in February. SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS Should a student feel that he /she is having trouble with the learning ex- periences that are provided in the regular curriculum, additional help and specialized assistance is available through the Guidance Department and through Special Education Resource Unit. The current program of a student may be adapted to better fulfil the individual needs of the student. Please see the Guidance Department if there is a need for further information in this area. ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES Enrichment activities are co— ordinated by the Learning Enrichment Service (L.E.S.), a section of the Resource Unit. Students may be nominated to the L.E.S. by their teachers, parents, peers, or by themselves. Enrichment activities may vary, from topics related to classroom work and monitored by school personnel, to topics outside the school curriculum and monitored by members of the community. Students are usually contracted on the topics of their choice and must demonstrate the ability to be responsible, independent learners. x Students registered with the L.E.S. are eligible to attend skill development workshops. Workshop topics include library research skills, essay writing, and problem solving. A number of high achieving gifted grade 10 students may be invited to enroll in a full credit course "Towards Autonomous Learning ". Admittance to this course may be limited to students who have been deemed exceptional by an Identification, Placement, and Review Committee (IPRC). C0- OPERATIVE EDUCATION Co- operative Education is a joint effort between the schools and the community to provie ,tudents with learning experiences outside the classroom. It is the using of ccdnmunity resources to meet some particular educational needs of students. Students are placed in work locations which complement in- school learning activities. The in- school and out -of- school activities are co- ordinated so that classroom learning and work experiences combine in an educationally beneficial way. Co- operative education can assist students to develop basic, employable skills in business, in social service activities, in vocational pursuit, or in some special activity or study in the community. Co- operative Education Credit Course A student participating in this program will earn credits towards a secondary school diploma or certificate. An in- school subject (one credit) forms at least one -third of the co- operative education program. The approved out -of- school placement (worth up to 2 credits) makes up the balance of the co -oper- ative education program. The type of out -of- school placement will depend on the in- school related subject, the student's career objectives and the individual characteristics of the student. A training profile will be developed for each student. The out -of- school component is worth up to 2 credits and requires up to 360 hours at the training station. The employer and the school jointly develop, monitor and evaluate the student's out -of- school program and progress. Application forms or more information about Co- operative Education may be obtained by contacting the Guidance Department or Mr. Loughead. LIBRARY The Library is open between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Students are welcome to come to the Library whenever they require books for research or recreational reading, and a quiet place to study. The Library has an extensive collection of books, magazines, newspapers and audio - visual materials. It provides a valuable resource to the students of South Carleton. Use it profitably and wisely. xi The following chart outlines the language offerings within the Carleton Board of Education. LANGUAGE - xii - - - - -- ..nom in SPANISH SCHOOL A. Y.
