such plans.
This booklet contains information about Sir Robert Borden's programme of studies. Sir
Robert Borden High School is organized according to regulations and operates within
guidelines established by the Ministry of Education of the Province of Ontario. The
courses of this school have been developed according to the requirements of the
Ministry of Education . Courses of study are available on request for perusal at the
school.
Parents, or students who have reached the age of majority, in consultation with their
parents, must assume the ultimate responsibility and decision concerning the choice of
programme and subjects for the student.

is
A SECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATION DIPLOMA (Grade 12 - S.S.G.D.) will
be granted on the recommendation of the principal to a student who has completed
satisfactorily a minimum of 27 credits with at least 3 credits in each area of study. A
credit is granted in recognition of the successful completion of a course that has been
scheduled fora minimum of 110 hours. At Sir Robert Borden, every course offered has a
value of I Credit.
As part of the diploma requirements each student must have credit in the following
complusory courses:
English
4 credits (2 of which must be at senior level)
Mathematics
2 credits
Science
1 credit
Canadian Geography
1 credit
Canadian History
I credit
NOTES:
1. At Sir Robert Borden High School the Canadian History requirement may be fulfilled
by taking course HCC 2G, HCC 2A, or HCC 2AF. The Canadian Geography
requirement may be fulfilled by taking course GCA 1G, GCA IA or GCA IAF. The
Science requirement may be fulfilled taking any Grade 9 (Year 1) or Grade 10 (Year 2)
Science or Biology course offered.
2. Students are encouraged to take more than the minimum 27 credits for the S.S.G.D.
3. Course load. Students ar Sir Robert Borden must take 8 courses in Grades 9, 10 and 11.
Students in Grade 12 are strongly recommended to take a full programme of eight (8)
courses, but are required to take a minimum of seven (7). For valid educational reasons,
the principal may approve a request for less than the required seven courses. When such
approval is granted, a supervised study will be assigned.
4. The four areas of study are:
i) Communications
ii) Social & Environmental Studies
iii) Pure & Applied Sciences
iv) Arts
Each subject is listed in the appropriate area of study on the option sheet. A working
copy of this option sheet appears at the back of this booklet.
5. Required subjects (core curriculum) to be selected are designated in this booklet as
follows:
ENGLISH (E) GEOGRAPHY (G) HISTORY (H) MATHEMATICS (M)
SCIENCE (S)
6. What recognition is given to a student who completes more than the minimum number
of credits (27) required for an Ontario Secondary School Graduation Diploma.
(O. S. S. G. D.)?
A special Sir Robert Borden certificate called a 30 Plus Certificate is awarded to
students who obtain 30 or more credits. The Sir Robert Borden staff feels students
should be encouraged to achieve more than the minimal number of credits.
7. What programme must a student complete to qualify for the Ontario Secondary School
Honour Graduation Diploma (O.S.S.H.G.D.)?
An O.S.S.H.G.D. is completely separate from the O.S.S.G.D. It is granted to students
who successfully complete six (6) Grade 13 (5A) courses in an Ontario high school. The
specific courses taken will determine post secondary programme choices.
8. Planning for University
Students would be wise to take a wide range of academic subjects in their pursuit of the
O.S.S.G.D. This would give a great deal of flexibility in choosing Grade 13 courses and
subsequent University programme. A suggested programme would be English,
Mathematics, Science, a language other than English and a Social Science in each year
to maintain maximum flexibility.
Selecting an appropriate Grade 13 programme is a most important matter. Each student
planning to enter university should carefully study university entrance requirements.
Career literature, university calendars, Horizons, campus visits, information sessions,
and counselling are services regularly provided to students by the Guidance Department
to help them plan for programmes at universities.
Parents and students are encouraged to contact counsellors to receive assistance in
preparing for university and community college.
9. Preparing for Community College and/or Apprenticeship
Some three year programmes at community colleges such as Algonquin specify certain
advanced level subjects as prerequisites.
However, the basic requirement for entry to a community college is the O.S.S.G.D.
Many students who have taken subjects at the general level (1 G, 2G, 3G, 4G) enter and
succeed in programmes at a community college.
Sir Robert Borden offers a good variety of technological studies and business education
subjects. Students interested in technological studies should usually supplement such
studies with mathematics, science, and the appropriate technological studies subjects.
The same would apply to students interested in apprenticeship programmes.
Students interested in a business career might be interested in taking the appropriate
courses offered by the business education department.
Career literature, community college calendars, Horizons, campus visits, information
sessions, and counselling are services regularly provided to students by the Guidance
Department to help them plan for programmes at community colleges.

3. Areas of Concentrations
Students who take at least 8 business courses will have a Business concentration
recorded on their student transcript. Students who take at least 8 technical courses will
have a Technical concentration recorded on their student transcript.
4. Course Load
We encourage students not to specialize too early and to take the broadest programme
possible. Students in grades 9, 10 and 1 I are required to take 8 subjects per year.
Students in grade 12 are recommended to take a full load of 8 courses, but may take 7 if
they have accumulated 24 credits. In the fifth year students must take a sufficient
number of credits to obtain their O.S.S.D. or to complete the 6 O.A.C.'s necessary for
University entrance.
5. Planning for University
Entrance to an Ontario University will require a student to have an O.S.S.D. as well as 6
O.A.C.'s. O.A.C.'s may be counted as .part of the 30 O.S.S.D. credits or may be in
addition to the O.S.S.D. credits. It is not anticipated that many students will satisfy both
requirements in four years of high school. To do so could result in a very difficult third
and fourth year and would require a student to limit the number of electives: The
Council of Ontario Universities has stated that there will be no "bonus points" for
quickness of completion of the O.S.S.D. Completion in 4 years will not be rewarded.
Selecting an appropriate O.A.C. programme is a most important matter. Each student
planning to enter university should carefully study university entrance requirements.
Example:
A third and fourth year
follows:
Year 3
English
English
Mathematics

Career literature, university calendars, Horizons, campus visits, information sessions,
and counselling are services regularly provided to students,by the Guidance Department
to help them plan for programmes at universities.
Parents and students are encouraged to contact counsellors to receive assistance in
preparing for university and community college.
6. Preparing for Community College and/or Apprenticeship
Some three year programmes at community colleges such as Algonquin specify certain
advanced level subjects as prerequisites.
However, the basic requirement for entry to a community college is the O.S.S.D.
Many students who have taken subjects at the general level (IG, 2G, 3G, 4G) enter and
succeed in programmes at a community college.
Sir Robert Borden offers a good variety of technological studies and business education
subjects. Students interested in technolgical studies should usually supplement such
studies with mathematics, science, and the appropriate technological studies subjects.
The same would apply to students interested in apprenticeship programmes.
Students interested in a business career might be interested in taking the appropriate
courses offered by the business education department.
Career literature, community college calendars, Horizons, campus visits, information
sessions, and counselling are services regularly provided to students by the Guidance
Department to help them plan for programmes at community colleges.
D. COURSE C DES
All secondary schools in the province of O tario now use a set of common course codes.
These codes indicate:
- the subject
- grade level
- level of difficulty
- language of instruction`
i) The first three characters indicate the s�Ybject:
BAP - Accounting
MAT - Mathematics
ii) The fourth character refers to the grade level:
MAT I - Grade 9 mathematics
MAT 2A - Grade 10 mathematics
iii) The fifth character indicates level of difficulty:
MAT 1B - Basic
MAT IG - General
MAT IA - Advanced
BASIC: These courses are designed to focus on the development of personal
skills, social understanding, self-confidence and preparation for the
world of work. These courses serve the needs of students who may not
participate in post -secondary education and provide a good
preparation for direct entry into employment.
GENERAL: General level courses should be considered as appropriate
preparation for employment, careers, or futher education in certain
programmes in the colleges of Applied Arts and Technology and
other non -degree -granting post -secondary educational institutions. It
might be appropriate for university bound students to take some
courses at the general level to balance their programme. Care,
however, should be exercised in making certain that university
entrance requirements are met.
ADVANCED: These courses focus on the development of academic skills and
prepare students for entry to University or to certain programmes in
the colleges of Applied Arts and Techology. They are more content
oriented than geveral level courses. Courses should be taken at the
Advanced level in those subjects which the student plans to take in the
Grade 13 or O.A.C. year.
iv) If 'F' appears as the sixth character, the course is taught in the French language:
GCA 1 AF
v) If 'E' appears as the sixth character, the course is an enriched advanced level course:
MAT lAE
E. GUIDANCE SERVICES
The Guidance programme plays a vital role in the school curriculum at Sir Robert
Borden High School. The programme has been planned and developed from the
Guidance guidelines and an assessment of the student, school, parent and community
needs.
The programme provides the students with opportunities to:
-develop an understanding of themselves and their achievement.
-assist them in clarifying their educational options and career alternatives.
The following activities are planned and implemented by the Guidance Department to
assist in carrying out the above objectives:
-keeping abreast of all the community services offered to the secondary
school students, and having personal contact with these agencies in the
community.
-providing an information service to grade twelve and thirteen students who
are prospective community college and university applicants.
-providing feeder school students (Grade 8) and parents with information
about courses and planning a successful academic career.
-providing standardized testing to feeder school students in order to provide
students, teachers and parents a better understanding of the student's
abilities, aptitudes and interests.
-ensuring that every student has his/her programme of study evaluated.
-facilitating the academic, personal and social adjustment of new
students ....... (i.e. students coming to Sir Robert Borden High School from
schools other than our regular grade eight feeder schools).
1% SPECIAL PROGRAMMES
I. The Independent Studies programme is available to Grades I 1 and 12 students on an
vidualized basis. Student interested in enrolling in this programme should read the
programme description included in this booklet. Permission from the teacher co-
ordinator is required before admittance is granted.
2. The Co-operative Education programme is a joint effort between the school and the
community to provide students with learning experiences outside the classroom. It is an
attempt to assist students in making the transition from school to work and become
familiar with the realities of the labour market.
The Co-operative Education programme is open to students who will be in Grade 12
next year and who can graduate with 6 credits. (Some grade 11 students may be accepted
under special circumstances.)
The Co-operative Education programme consists of two related components; one out of
school and one in -school, each giving relevance and reinforcement to the other. The
student will take four courses in -school, preferably in the morning, which will allow the
student to spend at least 2 1/ 2 hours at their training station daily. One of the students'
in -school courses will be tied to their out of school training. This course will have a value
of 3 credits, if a student puts in at least 300 hours on the job. (A student choosing to take
the Co-operative Education programme can only earn a total of 6 credits in I year.)
Co-operative Education may appeal to students in three areas.
(a) Academic StudentProgramme-Academic students may explore career possibilities
in the area in which they are considering advanced studies eg. Sciences, Mathematics,
French, Geography, English etc., to find out if they really like it, before spending years
on Post Secondary Education.
(b) Skill Programme - Students who have or are developing in school Business or
Technical skills such as Office Procedures, Accountin and Computer Studies or
Graphic Arts, Machine Shop and Woodworkin uther v"efop their skills and gain
valuable experience when they receive on the job training.
(c) Community Involvement Programme - Students who are studying society and the
family in courses such as Man in Society, Family and Child or Physical Education can
contribute to society and their own understanding of it and where they fit in by working
in social agencies, elementary schools, nursery schools and hospitals. This can also help
them to choose a career.
Students interested in Co-operative Education should list it on their option sheet. They
will be interviewed and will complete an application form before being considered.
Because of resource constraints etc. a limit might have to be placed on the number of
students selected for this programme. More information can be obtained by making an
appointment with Mrs. Bewley in the Co-operative Education office, any afternoon.
3. Resource Unit offers individual assistance for students who are identified as
exceptional. Students are assigned to the Resource Unit after consultation with the
Resource Unit teacher, the parent and the principal. This is a non-credit programme.

H. HANDBOOK FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS
Every August a handbook for students and parents is mailed to each student along with
the timetable. This handbook gives the school's expectations regarding students'
responsibilities, achievement, attendance and the philosophy of the school. In simple
terms, the philosophy of Sir Robert Borden is that everyone who comes to school comes
to do a day's work. This is accomplished in a friendly but business -like atmosphere. A
code of student behaviour forms part of this handbook.The schools' evaluation and
examination policies, as well as the policy governing course transfers during the year are
explained in the student handbook. This handbook should be viewed as a companion
document to this programme booklet.
ONTARIO STUDENT TRANSCRIPT
All transcripts issued will be on the new common Ontario Student Transcript form.
Each course successfully completed by the student will be recorded on this transcript.
The credit value and level of difficulty will also be indicated. Students who have taken a
minimum of 8 courses in either Business Education or Technological Studies will have
this concentration recorded on the Student Transcript.
J. SEX EQUITY
All courses and programmes at Sir Robert Borden are available to students of both
sexes. The philosophy of sex equity permeates all aspects of the school's curriculum,
policies, methodology, and assessment procedures.

BUSINESS EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
The Business Education Department of Sir Robert Borden High School gives all students a
background in business knowledge. Besides teaching the function of business and the skills
required for success, we provide the student with saleable knowledge and skills.
For the student planning a post -secondary education, skills such as typewriting and
shorthand will provide assistance in the form of easing the student's studies and providing a
source of income to help finance such studies. The theory courses can -be used to provide an
easier entry into other occupations for both part-time and full-time employment (eg.
accounting, data processing, marketing, law, etc.).
For the students who wish to round out their academic education with valuable skills and
knowledge, we offer a useful programme.
The Ministry of Education provides that a student who has gained a minimum of eight credits
in business studies shall receive special recognition on his or her Ontario Student Transcript.
We suggest the student with a keen interest in business education consider one of the
following programmes of correlated subjects.
SECRETARIAL PROGRAMME
A student who undertakes a secretarial programme can look forward to growing employment
either full or part time. A recommended programme would be as follows:
Grade 9 Typing I (BKT 1G).and Introduction to Business (BBI IG)
Grade 10 Typing II (BKT 2G) and one of the following: Accounting

These are courses in the practice and subsequent public performance of band music. Band
practices, therefore, form part of the courses. These practices are held as often as necessary
and usually commence at 7:45 a.m. They may, however, also be held at lunch hour or after
3:10 p.m. Evening concerts also form part of the courses. These concerts are held three times a
year on Tuesday evenings. The dates for these concerts are available in June for the following
academic year, and the students are informed of the dates at the beginning of September. It is
essential that these dates be kept free from other commitments.
Class instruction is given in flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone trumpet, french horn,
trombone, tuba and percussion. A student studying percussion must,be prepared to play the
complete range of percussion instruments, including mallet instruments and timpani.
Acoustic string bass is also taught, but students wishing to learn this instrument must make
special arrangements regarding private instruction.
A successful music programme is dependent upon a balanced instrumentation in each class. It
is most desirable, therefore, that students and their parents are receptive to the suggestion of a
change of instrument in Grade 9, in order to achieve a balanced instrumentation, as
experience has shown that the programme is underprovided with tuba, baritone, trombone
and french horn players and that there are usually too many flutists.

TECHNOLOGICAL STUDIES
Introduction:
For students entering an Ontario high school in or after September 1984, one credit in
Business studies or Technological studies is compulsory to obtain an Ontario Secondary
School Diploma. The Ministry of Education provides that a student who has gained a
minimum of eight credits in technological studies shall receive a special endorsement on his or
her Ontario Student Transcript. A student with a keen interest in technological studies might
consider one of the following programmes of correlated subjects in order to qualify for an
endorsed transcript.
Grade 9 Any two of the following: Drafting, Electricity/ Electronics Graphic Arts,
Machine Shop, Woodwork.
Grade 10 Any two of the three subjects not taken in Grade 9.
Grade I I Any one of the following related pairs of subjects.
-Architectural Drafting and Construction Technology -Woodwork.
-Mechanical Drafting and Machine Shop.
-Electronics and Electrical Drafting.
Grade 12 Any two additional senior level courses (Gr. I I or 12) for which the student has
the necessary prerequisite.
The aim of the techological studies department is to provide an opportunity for all students
(male and female) to obtain theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the
technological programme of their choice. The technological programmes are organized in
such a way as to offer students a choice of courses which will best meet their individual needs.
Courses designated as I G or I A are open to all students from grade 9 to grade 13. They are
introductory in nature and are recommended prerequisites for continued study in grades I I
and 12. Students entering grade 9 are encouraged to enrol in IA or IG courses. Students
entering grade 10 are recommended to select different intermediate options rather than
selecting the senior course option that is a continuation of their grade 9 choice. This is to give
students an opportunity to experience several different courses at the intermediate level. This
