TELEPHONE - (613) 838-2212 i COURSE CALENDAR 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. This calendar makes suggestions re progam selection, lists the requirements for diploma and provides a description of each course that will be offered in 1987 -88 at South Carleton. Ultimately the responsibility for a student's program rests with parents and, in the case of a student over eighteen, with the student. For students entering Grade 9, the recommendations of the Grade 8 teachers should be carefully considered. South Carleton High School offers all students many resources to assist in this decision - making process. Teachers, Department Heads, Guidance Counsellors, Special Education Resource Staff and Administrators are available for consultation. Many print and computer resources are also available in the Guidance reading area. These latter resources can be used throughout the student's High School years. If a student follows the suggestions found throughout this Calendar we believe that it will be possible to continue in an educational or occupational setting with competence and confidence. Students registering at South Carleton from outside the province will meet with a counsellor to determine their point of entry or grade level. It should be noted that if a particular course or program is not offered at South Carleton High School, the student should consult with a guidance counsellor concerning eligibility to attend another school within the Carleton or Ottawa Boards of Education. The courses offered by this school have been developed according to the requirements of the Ontario Ministry of Education. SCHOOL OBJECTIVES This school provides an organized, structured environment which will allow students to have the opportunity to : 1) acquire the basic knowledge and skills needed to continue to post - secondary education or to be productive in the world of work; 2) develop further a sense of personal responsibility and self- reliance; 3) acquire a balanced program of knowledge and cultural appreciation; 4) to develop in an atmosphere of equal opportunity. GRADE 8 ORIENTATION PROGRAM The Grade 8 home room teachers conduct information sessions with their classes in January when this course calendar has been received. The South Carleton High School liaison officer conducts further information seminars regarding both the registration and 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. An information meeting for the parents of Grade 8 students will be held on Thursday, February 5, 1987, at 7:15 p.m., in the Cafetorium, South Carleton High School. 11 GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING A PROGRAM The following guidelines are suggested for the student to consider in consultation with parents and the staff resources previously listed: 1) Courses must be selected to include compulsory subjects. 2 Normally a student shoul follow the se uence of courses outlined for any specific subject in the grade 9 to 12 area. For OA s, (Ontario Aca emic ourses, formerly Grade 13 courses), there are mandatory prerequisites. 3) Select a combination of courses that is broad enoygl'i to lead to potential educational and occupational goals. Keep as many doors open as possible. 4) An expanded version of the_course descri tion and in this Calendar is available at the school for parents and students to examine should more information be required. EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS Once students, in consultation with parents, have submitted program selections in February, it is expected that a commitment is made to the particular program. Students are expected to follow that commitment in a responsible manner for one year. This is essential since subject offerings are made and staff are assigned on the basis of these commitments. Regular attendance on the part of students is expected. When classes are missed, normally due to illness or due to a variety of school related programs, students are expected to catch up on work missed. This may be possible by working with another student or in some instances may require consultation with the teacher whose class was missed. A student Code of Behaviour has been developed with input from parents, students and teachers. It is published in the Parent - Student Handbook presented to students on the first day of school in September. In general, students are expected to be caring, courteous, cooperative and to display common sense. C o et _r v. - A full program of eight classes should be maintained in each year from grade nine to eleven. Students in grade 12 may reduce their program Toad to seven classes. A student in a graduation year with sufficient credits to graduate may be considered for fewer than seven with the permission of the Administration. This decision should be made in consultation with a guidance counsellor. COURSE CHANGES It is very important for students to make wise choices in their individual program selection in February. The school's Master Timetable is designed and staff are assigned as a result of these choices. Thus, only essential changes will be permitted or possible after submission. Permissible essential changes include individual subject failure in June, "reach- ahead" successes in summer school and computer errors. It is expected that all problems in this latter category will be corrected by students checking the Verification Tickets which will be distributed in May.

A.-- O `S r^ r� 111 DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED One credit is granted for the successful completion of a course for which a minimum of 110 hours has been scheduled. Courses are offered at three levels of difficulty - Basic, General, Advanced. A course at this level provides the student with the opportunity to gain basic knowledge and skills in selected subjects. A course at this level is appropriate preparation for employment or further education in community colleges; however, these courses may not provide suitable background for Grade 13 (OAC) courses. A course at this level is appropriate preparation for but not necessarily a prerequisite to OAC's, certain community college courses, and university. Advanced level courses, 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 comparable assessments. Ontario Academic Course : A prescriptive, provincially designed university- entrance course- formerly grade 13 courses. 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. Code Course codes were designed by the Ministry of Education to provide uniformity in student transcripts for Ontario secondary schools. A five character code is used to distinguish most courses: i.e. AMA1G. The first three - characters, (AMA), indicate the subject group, the course group, and the course; e.g. AMA : A= ARTS, M= MUSIC and A = INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC. The 4th and 5th characters, 1G, indicates the grade and level of instruction; e.g., 1 =Grade 9, G. general level. Thus AMA1G is the complete code for Introduction to Music, Grade 9, General level. Grade Indicators - (4th character): 1,2,3,4 or 5 = Grade 9,10,11,12,13 OAC Indicator - (4th and 5th character): OA = OAC Level of Instruction - (5th character): B, G or A = Basic, General,Advanced A six character code is used to distinguish all other courses: i.e. SNC2AF An alphabetic sixth character added to the basic five character code will indicate a differentiation between courses; e.g., F = FRENCH IMMERSION. Thus SNC2AF is the code for French Immersion Science, grade 10, Advanced level. Other sixth character codes are: E = Enriched, L = Late French Immersion, R = Early French Immersion , C = Co-op Education -1 credit, D = Co-op Education - 2 credits, S = Skills (fife skills), T = Transitional (summer school), W = Work Experience. A numeric sixth character indicates a differentiation between courses from the same Ministry guideline. i.e. TIE1G1 and TIE1G2, variations of grade 9 technology. iv GRADUATION DIPLOMAS South Carleton, like other high schools in the Province of Ontario, is phasing out of H.S.1 and implementing OS:IS. H.S.1 offers two diplomas: Ontaro Secondary School Graduation Diploma (O.S.S.G.D.) and Ontario Secondary School Honour Graduation Diploma (O.S.S.H.G.D.), which will be described later. OS:IS offers a single diploma: Ontario Secondary School Diploma (O.S.S.D.). The requirements follow. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ONTARIO 'SECONDARY SCHOOL DIPLOMA (OSSD) In order to earn an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, a student commencing a secondary school program on or after September 1, 1984, must earn a minimum of 30 credits distributed as follows: _ COMPULSORY CREDITS (TOTAL OF 16) _■_ 5 credits - 1 credit - 2 credits - 2 credits - 1 credit - 1 credit - 1 credit - 1 credit - 1 credit - 1 credit - ENGLISH - including at least 2 from the senior division FRENCH as a second language MATHEMATICS SCIENCE CANADIAN GEOGRAPHY CANADIAN HISTORY SOCIAL SCIENCES (Senior Division) - see list of courses below ARTS (Drama 41 Music 4.0 Visual Arts) PHYSICAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION BUSINESS STUDIES QC TECHNOLOGICAL STUDIES * ELECTIVE CREDITS (TOTAL OF 14) 14 credits selected from available courses = == = =■= -__ = ■■• = =■= = =__= =■= == _ *SOCIAL SCIENCES (Senior Division): Economic Reasoning - Family Studies Geography History Law Man in Society Urban Studies BER5A NFC3G, NFF3A, NFN3G, NFR3G, NZF3A, NZM3G, NFH4G, NFN4G, NFP4AF, NZF4G, NFP5A GHU3A, GHU4G, GPH3A, GPH3AF, GPH3G, GCR5A, GCR5AF, GWI5A HAM3A, HWO4A, HCA5A, HUS5A BLW3A, BLW3G, CDR3A NSO3G GUR4A, GUR4AF = = = = = = = = == = === = = = = = = == _ == The following selection.

Students must check the entrance requirements for specific Universities or Community Colleges. This should be done after completing Grade 10. viii REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ONTARIO SECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATION DIPLOMA - (OSSGD or Grade 12 Diploma - last date of issue - August 31, 1989) Students who began the first year of a secondary school program prior to September 1984 will be eligible to receive an Ontario Secondary School Graduation Diploma upon completion of the following requirements: Minimum number of credits including, within this total, the following: from each area of study - 3 (4 areas of study in required subjects which may form part or all of Intermediate Division (Grades 9 and 10) English Mathematics Science Canadian History Canadian Geography Senior Division (Grades 11 and 12) English 27 x 3 = 12 credits) the above 12 credits: 2 credits 2 credits 1 credit 1 credit 1 credit 2 credits PLUS sufficient additional credits to make a total of 27 credits REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SECONDARY SCHOOL HONOUR GRADUATION DIPLOMA (OSSHGD or Grade 13 DIPLOMA - last date of issue - August 31, 1990) A credit towards the Secondary School Honour Graduation Diploma is granted in recognition of successful completion of an honour graduation (or Grade 13) course for which a minimum of 110 hours has been scheduled. A Secondary School Honour Graduation Diploma will be granted on the recommendation of the Principal of the secondary school last attended, to a student who has successfully completed six courses as defined in the paragraph above. ONTARIO STUDENT TRANSCRIPT A record of the courses completed successfully and the credits eamed 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 eamed 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, EXAMINATION POLICY, REPORTS AND EVALUATION The Student - Parent Handbook provides details of Board and School Policy on these topics. Teachers will hand out specific information about individual course evaluation in September. Report Cards will be issued in November, February, April and in late June or July. ix NOTES Students and parents should note that not all of the OS:IS 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 Parents are advised that homework may be requested for students who will be absent for a week, or more, from school because of illness. A Visiting Teacher Service is provided for students who are ill for a month or more. GUIDANCE SERVICES Guidance is an educational process designed to help students to a better understanding of themselves, the opportunities available to them and their responsibilities. 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 institutions. This service 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 through correspondence, 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 approximately 250 requests from former students for an Official School Transcript. Letters of recommendation for employment and scholarships frequently require this information as well. X SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOURCE UNIT (SERU) The Special Education Resource Unit at the secondary level was designed to assist students who are having difficulty coping in a regular class situation. Students who have been referred to the SERU will be assessed in order to determine what program will best suit his/her needs. Throughout the school year, various programs will be made available to students. Some of these are: - improving reading comprehension - increasing reading speed - strengthening spelling skills - essay organization - how to study for tests and exams. Should a student be having difficulty coping with the learning experiences being provided in a regular program, additional help and specialized assistance is available through the Special Education Resource Unit. Please see the Guidance Department or the subject teacher if there is a need for further information in this area. ALTERNATE SCHOOL The Carleton Board of Education Alternate School is designed to meet the needs of students who are now in regular high school but feel they are not benefiting from the normal school program and atmosphere or who have recently dropped out of school and now wish to resume their studies elsewhere. At the Altemate school, students take a one - credit fife skills course and may then begin a one or two- credit co- operative education program. Academic course credits are provided later to those students who have shown previous success. Interested students and parents should contact the South Carleton High School Guidance department for more details. ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES Enrichment activities are co- ordinated by the Learning Enrichment Service (LES), a section of the Resource Unit. Students may be nominated to the LES 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. Students registered with the LES 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 Leaming ". Admittance to this course may be limited to students who have been deemed exceptional by an Identification, Placement, and Review Committee (IPRC). xi 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. CO- OPERATIVE EDUCATION Co- operative Education is a joint effort between the schools and the community to provide students with learning experiences outside the classroom. Co- operative Education makes use of community resources to meet some particular educational needs of students. Students are placed in work locations which complement in- school leaming 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 and requiring up to 360 hours at the training station, makes up the balance of the co- operative 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 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 in the Business Education Department. FRENCH IMMERSION PROGRAM The intent of this program is to provide the Zink and the continuity for the Early and Late French Immersion students and for the program from the elementary and middle schools. Prepared in conjunction with various departments, the program offers the French Immersion student the opportunity to pursue his/her development in the French language. The Carleton Board of Education is offering a bilingual certificate for French Immersion students who 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 - Grade 10 - Grade 11 - Grade 12 - Grade 13 - 4 or 5 options: 4 or 5 options: 2 or 3 options: 1 or 2 options: 1 option: Litterature, Grammaire, Sciences, Geographie, Mathematiques, Dactylographie, Litterature, Grammaire, Sciences, Histoire, Geographie, Mathematiques, la Famille Litterature et Grammaire, la Famille, Geographie, Droit, Education physique Litterature et Grammaire, la Famille, Geographie Geographie It should be noted that a Grade 12 or OAC French Immersion course must be completed to obtain the certificate.
