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 1988 -89 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 helpful throughout the student's
high school years in planning a prospective career path.
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 registe =ring from outside the province will meet with a counsellor to
determine their point of entry or grade level at South Carleton.
If a particular course yr 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) 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
Wednesday, February 3, 1988, at 7:15 p.m., in the F. Glenn Ward Hall, South
Carleton High School.

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 should follow the sequence of courses outlined for any specific subject in
the grade 9 to 12 area. For OACs, (Ontario Academic Courses, formerly Grade 13 courses),
there are mandatory prerequisites. This sequencing is listed for each department.
3) Select a combination of courses that is broad enough to lead to potential educational and
occupational goals. Keep as many doors open as possible. N.B. -- Sample programs on
pages which follow.
4) An expanded version of the course descriptions found 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. N.B. -- "Permissible
Essential Course Changes" below.
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 attentive to their
studies, to be present and on time for their classes, as well as being caring,
courteous, cooperative and displaying common sense in their daily interaction
with others.
A full program of eight classes should be maintained in each year at high school. Students
in grade 12 may reduce their program Toad to seven classes to provide additional study time
during the school day. A student in a graduation year with sufficient credits to graduate may be
considered for fewer than seven (with the permission of the Administration) following consultation
and recommendations by parents and a guidance counsellor. This decision should be made in
consultation with a guidance counsellor.
PERMISSIBLE ESSENTIAL 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 course 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.

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. See also "Co- operative Education ".
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 OAC (Grade 13) 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.
7) OAC 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.
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. AMA1 G. 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, 1 G, indicates the grade and level of instruction;
e.g., 1=Grade 9, G= general level.
Thus AMA1 G 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 (life
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.

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 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, 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.
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
The Guidance program is an integral part of the total school curriculum. It is a composite of the school's
instructional, counselling, consultaation, co- ordination and liaison activities that are planned to assist
student orientation, program selection and preparation for the next level of study or entry to the working
world.
Our aims are to provide students with the opportunities to:
- expand their knowledge and understanding of self and develop an appreciation of their individual
potential to contribute to society.
- develop an understanding of effective relationships.
- develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to make appropriate post - secondary decisions
and to cope with the transition from secondary school to post- secondary studies and the world of work.
- explore potential careers in relation to themselves, educational alternatives, and their desired lifestyles.
The Guidance Services personnel provide the following services:
personal, educational and vocational counselling.
up -to -date educational and career information library (SGIS).
the micro- computer CHOICES and INSIGHT career programs.
liaison with post- secondary institutions.
assistance with the completion of University and Community College applications.
- liaison with counsellors and staff of the elementary feeder schools.
- information regarding co- operative education and work experience (job shadowing).
vi
- information and registration forms for summer and adult evening school.
- student tutorial information.
SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOURCE UNIT (SERU)
The Special Education Resource Unit at the secondary level is designed to assist students who are
having difficulty coping in a regular class situation and who are seeking individual enrichment.
Students who have been referred to the SERU will be assessed in order to determine what program will
best suit his /her needs.
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.
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.
Enrichment activities are co- ordinated by the Leaming 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 enrol 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).
Please see the Guidance Department or the subject teacher if there is a need for further information in this
area.
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.
NOTES
ALL OACs have mandatory Drereauisites which must be successfully completed prior to the
commencement of the OAC studies.
The offering of any course in this calendar is subject to sufficient enrolment, availability of teachers and
facilities.
The Principal, Vice - Principal and Head of Administration are available for consultation at all times.
vii
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 leaming 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 eam 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 link 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 4 or 5 options:
Grade 10 - 4 or 5 options:
Grade 11 - 2 or 3 options:
Grade 12 - 1 or 2 options:
Grade 13 /OAC - 1 option:
Littorature, Grammaire; Dactylographie, Geographie,
Mathematiques, Sciences,
Littorature, Grammaire; Geographie, Histoire, Ia Famille,
Mathematiques, Sciences,
Littorature et Grammaire, Droit, Education physique,
Geographie, Histoire, la Famille
Littorature et Grammaire, Geographie, Histoire, Ia Famille
Littorature et Grammaire, Geographic
It should be noted that a senior French Immersion course must be completed to obtain
the certificate. The certificate is only granted at the time of graduation.
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 Alternate school, students take a one - credit life 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.
viii
SAMPLE PROGRAMS
The following sample programs are to assist students and parents in planning a high school program. It
must be emphasized that there are other variations to the following sample programs. As long as the
compusory 16 credits are completed successfully, there is no limit to the combinations of courses which
would follow. Each program is unique to the individual student. Counsellors, teachers and parents are
available to offer their support as the students choose their individual programs.
A - This plan enables a student to complete the requirements for a graduation diploma- 30 credits, in five
years. It will be noted that there is room to take 38, (or even 40), courses using this plan.

Note that this sample program contains 14 credits in French Immersion Courses. Thus, 2 courses in
grades 9 or 10 could be taken in English. Normally these would be Mathematics, Science, Geography
or History. The following courses could be used as electives to complete or add to the 12 Immersion
credits:
Grade 9 - Typing Grade 12 - Family Studies, Geography, Politics
Grade 10 - Family Studies, Geography Grade 13 - Geography
Grade 11 - Family Studies, Geography, Law, History, Physical Education
This plan with the "13" column deleted becomes a four -year plan for those students not requiring

PHYSICAL & HEALTH EDUCATION
Grade 9 Physical and Health Education is compulsory and must be completed successfully before
enrolling in Grade 10 Physical Education courses.
Students may take only ONE physical education course per year. However, courses in Outdoor
Education, Dance or Health may be taken in addition to a physical education course.
In Grades 11 and 12 more depth in team sports is emphasized. Aspects of coaching, theory,
refereeing and appreciation of the sport are stressed. Many individual and carry-over sports are
introduced, as well, with the hope that students will continue active participation in these sports
once they leave high school; i.e., badminton, golf, archery, judo, and personal fitness.
Any field trips offered in physical education classes are optional and must be student - funded.
It is strongly recommended that a health course be taken in conjunction with physical education at
the senior level.
The Physical and Health Education Department provides an umbrella concept under which are
the following broad areas of student involvement:
- the academic program; i.e., dance play, sport activities, fitness;
- the intramural recreation/games program;
- the interscholastic sports program;
- the health studies program;
- the outdoor education program.
Through these programs, the Physical and Health Education Department hopes to provide the
student with intellectual, social and physical challenges so that the student may be better
prepared for his/her future role as a profitable member of society.

Preferred routes through the Secondary School Science proaram
11 or all students, it is grombLipsammendesi that they proceed through the secondary school science
program by firF.i taking a Grade 9 science course, then a Grade 10 science course, and finally senior
science courses as desired. Two science credits are necessary for an Ontario Secondary School
Diploma (OSSD). One of these science credits must be Grade 9 science.
Levels of Difficulty
Courses developed at different levels of difficulty are dissimilar and are taught from different perspectives.
If a student wishes to change his or her science program from one level of difficulty to another, he or she
should seek advice from members of the science and guidance departments. Due to timetabling
difficulties and to class sizes, it may not be possible for a student to transfer from one level to another
during the school year.
SCIENCE - GRADE 9
NOTE: The course descriptions for Grade 9 science reflect the changes introduced by the
Ontario Ministry of Education and will be implemented in Setpember 1988.
The approach in Grade 9 is exoloration of the science disciplines. Provision is made for
a mosaic of biology, chemistry, environmental science and physics where these
fundamental science disciplines become apparent to the student. By introducing each
of these subjects for a short period of time during Grade 9, it is felt that the students will
be able to test their ability, confirm interests, and plan a detailed program for further
specialized study.
They will experience the reality that scientific processes cross the artificial barriers
between the disciplines.

SBI3A - BIOLOGY - Advanced Level - Grade 11 - 1 credit (prerequisite SNC2A)
In a study of a wide variety of organisms, the diversity of life is examined. These very different
life forms are shown to be organized into classification groups (plant, animal, protist, monera,
fungi, virus). Some members of each group are then examined in more detail. The methods of
reproduction are compared. This leads to a closer look at genetics, heredity, and the
development of the organism from embry to fully developed individual. Particular emphasis is
placed on developing a critical assessment of information received in a variety of modes
(educational films, filmstrips, texts, reading assignments, microscopic examination,
experiments and demonstrations).

SCH3A - CHEMISTRY - Advanced Level - Grade 11 - 1 credit (prerequisite SNC2A)
This course builds on the chemistry areas in junior science courses, and lays the foundation
essential for SCH5A and very useful for SBI5A.
The course begins with a study of the structure of matter, which leads to the periodic table and
chemical bonding. The properties of gases are considered, and the gas laws are introduced.
Substances are identified by chemical formulae. Reactions are shown by balanced chemical
equations, which are then used to show numerical relationships between amounts of substances
in the reaction. The study of solutions includes molarity, precipitate formation, and the
properties of acids and bases.
