PLANNING YOUR FUTURE
A. What are your future plans?
university?
community college?
apprenticeship?
work?
Vocational and educational planning is important and the subjects you select will have long
range implications.
Reading this booklet and discussions with staff are an important procedure in making 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.
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.
B. What programme must a student complete to qualify for an Ontario Secondary School
Graduation Diploma (O.S.S.G.D.)?
A student must successfully complete a minimum of twenty-seven (27) credits. Most
subjects at Sir Robert Borden are of one (1) credit value unless otherwise indicated.

C. 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.
D. 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 (550) courses in an Ontario
high school. The specific courses taken will determine post secondary programme
choices.
E. What are Subject Codes?
Subject Codes indicate:
(1) traditional grade level
(2) difficulty level
(3) language of instruction
i) The initial digit refers to the traditional grade level:
MAT 150 - Grade 9 math
MAT 250 - Grade 10 math
MAT 450 - Grade 12 math
ii) The middle digit indicates level of difficulty:
MAT 160 - enriched
MAT 150 - advanced
MAT 140 - general

PLANNING FOR UNIVERSITY
Any student intending to enter a university must carefully select academic subjects at the
advanced or enriched level.
A student, for example, who enters Grade 9 and takes English 150, French 150, Mathematics
150, Science 150, and Geography 150 would have initiated a programme that prepares the
student for nearly any university course.
Obviously, a student wishing to study Music or Art or Languages at university would be wise to
supplement his programme with Art 150 or Music 150 or Latin 150.
Students in a pre -university programme must also add History 250 to their schedule when they
enter Grade 10. Selecting and succeeding in subjects such as English, French, Mathematics,
Science, History, and Geography at an advanced or enriched level during Grades 9-12
guarantees the student an excellent background for Grade XIII.
Selecting an appropriate Grade XIII programme is, however, a most important matter. Each
student planning to enter university should carefully study university entrance requirements.
The Guidance Department can provide these students with a copy of `Horizons' which outlines
Ontario University and Community College requirements and programmes.
University calendars, university information programmes, and'campus visits are some of the
regular services provided to senior students to assist them in carefully planning for the future.
Parents and students are encouraged to contact counsellors to receive assistance in preparing
for university.
PREPARING FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND/OR APPRENTICESHIP
Some three year programmes at community colleges such as Algonquin specify certain
advanced or enriched 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 (140, 240, 340, 440) 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.
DESCRIPTION OF COURSES OFFERED
The following course descriptions are intended as a guide to help in the selection of a study
programme suited to the student's interests, abilities and goals for the future. While the general
content of the courses will follow Ministry of Education Guidelines and the descriptions listed
herein, the specific content of each course may vary according to the class and the
circumstances in which the course is taught.
ART
The various programmes in Art attempt to stimulate individuality and imagination, while at the
same time emphasizing fundamentals and techniques necessary to meaningful expression.
Positive attitudes toward Art are established through a study of Art from other people and time
periods and by creating an awareness of the wide range of Art activities today. As the taste and
appreciation of the student develops, his sensitivity to the world around him is heightened.
ART 150 ART Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
This course will focus on the basics which will help in a variety of artistic expressions. The
students will work with many different materials such as paint, ink, chalk, etc. for flat pieces;
and clay, wood, wire etc. for three-dimensional pieces. The history portion of the course is a
study of Canadian art which includes Inuit and Indian art.
ART 250 ART Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: ART 150
This course continues the design approaches begun in ART 150. Skills in the use of a varietyof

BUSINESS EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
The Business Education Department of Sir Robert Borden High School aims to provide all
students with a background in business knowledge. Besides teaching the function of business
and the skills required for success, we also aim to 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 non -secretarial occupations for both part-time and full-time employment (eg.accounting,
data processing, merchandising, marketing, law, etc.).
For the students who wish to round out their academic education with valuable skills and/or
knowledge, we offer what we feel is a useful programme.
To assist the student in programme planning, we have worked out what we feel are correlated
subjects to help the student. This outline is shown below. The student or the parent should feel
free to contact the Head of Business Education at the school should assistance be needed.
Secretarial Programme
A student who undertakes a secretarial programme can look forward to growing employment
opportunities either full or part-time. A recommended programme would be as follows:
Grade 9 Typewriting (BTY 140) and Consumer Studies (BCE 140 or 150).
Grade 10 Typewriting (BTY 240) and two of the following: Accounting (BAC 240 or 250),
Data Processing (BDP 240), Retail Merchandising (BRM 250).
Grade 11 Office Procedures and Communication I (BOP 340),
Shorthand (BSH 340), Data Processing (BDP 340),
and one of the following: Law (BBL 340 or 350),
Accounting (BAC 350), Marketing (BMK 350).
Grade 12 Office Procedures and Communication II (BOP 440),
Shorthand (BSH 440) and one of the following: Law
(BBL 450), Marketing (BMK 440 or 450).
Accounting Programme
A student, who wishes to grasp the practical and theoretical problems faced by business in
accounting, should consider this as a field of study. This field is growing in terms of both post-
secondary enrolment as well as gainful employment either part-time or full-time. The role of
accounting as a useful, personal skill is an important course objective. The following is a
recommended programme:
Grade 9 Typewriting (BTY 140) and Consumer Studies (BCE 140 or 150).
Grade 10 Accounting (BAC 240 or 250) and Data Processing
(BDP 240) and one of the following: Retail Merchandising
(BRM 250), Typewriting (BTY 240).
Grade 11 Accounting R (BAC 350) and two of the following
Marketing I (BMK 350), Office Procedures and
Communication I (BOP 340), Law (BBL 340 or,
350), Data Processing (BDP 340).
Grade 12 One of the following: Marketing II (BMK 440 or
450), Office Procedures and Communication II (BOP
440), Law (BBL 450).
Grade 13 Accounting III (BAC 550).
Marketing Programme
A student should consider enrolling in the Marketing Programme for the following reasons.
The programme develops an understanding of the essentials of an economy and the role of the
individual in shaping market trends. Furthermore, the Marketing Programme offers a good
basis for those who wish to enrol in a post -secondary business programme or for those who
wish to acquire saleable knowledge in the business area. A recommended programme wouldbe
as follows:
Grade 9 Typewriting (BTY 140) and Consumer Studies (BCE 140 or 150).
Grade 10 Retail Merchandising (BRM 250) and two of the
following: Data Processing (BDP 240), Accounting
(BAC 240 or 250), Typewriting (BTY 240).
Grade 11 Marketing I (BMK 350) and two of the following:
Accounting (BAC 350), Law (BBL 340 or 350),
Data Processing (BDP 340).
Grade 12 Marketing II (BMK 440 or 450).
ALL STUDENTS
While the foregoing is recommended to students as a planned programme of Business Studies,
it is recognized that many students will want to study these courses as individual options. This
is both understood and encouraged except in the case of Shorthand and Office Procedures and
Communication I and II where we feel that these must be taken together. The studying of
optional areas by students often awakens aptitudes and abilities not previously realized. Any
parent or student wishing to discuss aspects of the Business Education curriculum at Sir Robert
Borden High School is encouraged to contact the Head of Business Education.
10
BAC 240 ACCOUNTING I Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
This is an introductory survey course in which the basic principles of bookkeeping and
accounting are presented. Some of the more fundamental aspects of accounting practice will be
stressed. However, the emphasis in the course is on the theoretical aspects of accounting rather
than the practical. Accounting, taken as a one-year option, is an excellent preparation for the
student's future personal financial affairs and will enable students to understand the basic
financial and fiscal operations of both business and governments - of which they might
otherwise remain ignorant. Students who intend to proceed directly to business, or enter a
Community College in Business Administration, Commerce or Finance will find this course
extremely useful and beneficial.
BAC 250 ACCOUNTING I Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
While similar to BAC 240 in content, the material in this course is examined in greater depth.
Students will be encouraged beyond the confines of the course in order to broaden their
knowledge of the general subject area. Students will learn basic accounting procedures and the
preparation of financial statements for a small business. In addition to this basic material, the
principles of internal control and special accounting transactions will be studied. Case studies
will be assigned to permit students to apply the theoretical knowledge which they have gained.
Students will find this course provides both useful personal skills and as a start towards
university business studies.
BAC 350 ACCOUNTING II Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: Accounting I (BAC 250)
In this advanced course, the subject matter of BAC 250 will be reinforced and presented in
greater depth. New topics to be studied include partnership accounting, the analysis of
financial statements, income tax, and payroll accounting.
Emphasis will be placed on the principles of accounting as applicable to modern business
operations. Students will apply their theoretical knowledge by making management decisions
as they take part in the Ontario Chartered Accountants `Business Game.'
This course is of interest to those students interested in the accounting applications of
computers, for those wishing to pursue post -secondary business studies, and a valuable
business skill.
BAC 550 ACCOUNTING III Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: BAC 350
Accounting 550 is a university -level accounting course which would be valuable to students
planning to attend a post -secondary educational institution in Commerce, Finance, or
Business Administration. The course deals primarily with the corporation accounting cycle. A
brief introduction is given to such topics as cost accounting and analysis and interpretation of
accounting data.
11
BBL 340 CANADIAN LAW Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
While similar to BBL 350 in content, this course covers more topics and in less depth. The
emphasis is on those aspects of law used in everyday situations.
Topics to be studied include: what law is, how laws are made and enforced, how the court
system works, civil rights, property law, including buying and renting, personal injuries,
employment, and contracts. Students will acquire a knowledge of law that will help them to
understand our legal process and to prevent personal legal mistakes.
BBL 350 CANADIAN LAW Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
Ignorance of the law is no excuse! Many people have faced grief because they did not have the
chance to learn about their legal rights and responsibilities. In this course the student will learn
about criminal law, our court system, human rights, contracts, torts, renting, and wills.
BBL 450 CANADIAN LAW Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
Three areas of law that affect the student now and will affect him greatly in the future are
studied in depth: family law, consumer protection law, and labour law. Throughout the course,
there is an emphasis on human rights, recent developments in Canadian law, and current legal
issues of interest. In addition, the student will be able to choose a topic that is of special interest
to him for individual research and study.
BCE 140 CONSUMER STUDIES Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
This course is offered to students as an introduction to the challenges faced by the modern
consumer. Students study the major Canadian sources of savings and credit --Banks, Credit
Unions, Trust Companies, etc. The stock market is studied as a means of both savings and
investment. Proper budgeting of income is learned along with the means of controlling wants
and needs which make demands on hard-earned income. The aim of the course is to teach the
student how to make the most effective use of income and discipline spending habits. Guest
speakers and field trips are an important part of this course. '
BCE 150 CONSUMER STUDIES Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
While the goals of this course are identical to BCE 140, the student will spend more time
relating the consumer's activities to their effects on Canadian institutions. For example, where
the BCE 140 students would examine the advantages and disadvantages of buying Canada
Savings Bonds, the BCE 150 students would Iexamine the relationship of Canada Savings
Bonds to government financing. The student will come out of this course both a better and more
knowledgeable consumer.
12
BDP 240 DATA PROCESSING Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
Regardless of where we work today there is a need for people who can handle information. The
computer is a basic part of our lives whether used for report cards, or by business, industries, or
government. This course is designed to help the student understand the basics of computer
operation and the way computers affect everyone's daily life. The role of keypunching (where
still used) elementary programming, and the application of these skills to everyday life and
work will be learned. The course will be especially valuable as a saleable skill in future part=
time or full-time job applications.
BDP 340 DATA PROCESSING Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None
Since the "birth" of computers in 1950, computers have multiplied by ten their capacity to do
work in every seven year period. We now have computers in business that can perform twenty-
five million calculations per minute.
Computers have become an essential part of the business world. There is an ever growing need
for people to work with computers in every field of programming.
This year the Business Education Department will be teaching a course in COBOL. COBOL
stands for Common Business Oriented Language and is the most commonly used language in
business today.
The language taught for this course will be a simpler version of COBOL. Students can expect to
spend a large portion of classroom time programming and working directly with a computer.
BDP 440 COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: BDP 340

TECHNOLOGICAL STUDIES
Introduction:
The aim of the technological studies department is to provide an opportunity for all students
(males and females) to obtain background knowledge and experience of a practical nature in
the technological program of their choice. The technological programs are organized in such a
way as to offer the students a choice of courses which will best meet their individual needs.
Courses designated 200 are open to all students from grade 9 to grade 13. They are
introductory courses in nature and are recommended prerequisites for continued study in
grades 11 and 12. Students entering grade 9 are informed that each course can be selected
either at the grade 9 or 10 level but not both. Students entering grade 10 are recommended to
select different junior options rather than selecting the senior course option that is a
continuation of their grade 9 choice. This is to give the students an opportunity to experience
many different courses at the junior level. This will assist them in obtaining as wide an
experience as possible, and broaden their knowledge for better program selection at the senior
level.
Courses designated 340 and 440 are open to all students who have successfully completed the
recommended prerequisite courses. These courses offer a more in-depth study of the subject
introduced at the junior level. Students are informed that the Construction Technology TCT
340 and TCT 440 as well as Mechanical Technology TMT 340 and TMT 440 are double
period and double credit courses. This means for example that a student choosing Construction
Technology in grade 11 will have 1 period in Architectural Drafting and 1 period in Building
Construction and if successful can obtain two credits.The same is possible in grade 12
Construction Technology. In the Mechanical Technology program the two components will be
Mechanical Drafting and Machine Shop. The grade 12 programs are a continuation of grade
11 and are also 2 credit programs. All other courses at the 340 and 440 level are single period
and single credit courses.
Students should be aware of the recommended prerequisites for the courses at the senior level
so that these can be obtained at the junior level. For example the recommended prerequisites
for Construction Technology are TDG 200 and T W W 200. A student could choose to do both
in grade 9 or choose TDG 200 in grade 9 and TWW 200 in grade 10.
The technological studies department offers courses to help students reach these goals:
- specialization by students to obtain saleable skills for immediate employment
- background knowledge for post -secondary education and future employment
- general technological awareness for personal use.
We hope this information, as well as the course descriptions, will offer sufficient assistance to
the students to help them select appropriate programs in the technological studies area to best
meet their immediate educational- needs as well as their future academic and employment
needs. May we suggest that you consult with your parents and guidance counsellor before
making your final choice. Do not hesitate to contact the head of the Technological Studies
Department, Mr. Lavictoire, if you wish any additional information concerning these
programs.
Note: Courses designated 200 replace courses previously designated 140/240
