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 willhave 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.
In addition, students at Sir Robert Borden must take eight (8) courses in Grades 9 and 10.
Students taking less than the required number will be assigned to a supervised study.
Students in Grades 11 and 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.
DIPLOMA REQUIREMENTS
A SECONDARY SCHOOL HONOURS GRADUATION DIPLOMA (Grade 13 -
SSHGD) will be granted to a candidate who obtains a minimum of 6 credits from subjects
offered in Year 5.
A SECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATION DIPLOMA (Grade 12 - SSGD) 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.
As part of the diploma requirements each student must have credit in the following compulsory
courses:
English
4 credits (2 of which must be at senior level)
Mathematics
2 credits
Science
1 credit
Canadian Geography
1 credit
Canadian History
1 credit
N.B.
1. At Sir Robert Borden High School the Canadian History requirement may be fulfilled by
taking course HIS 240, HIS 250, HIS 260 or HIS 251. The Canadian Geography requirement
may be fulfilled by taking course GEO 140, GEO 150 or GEO 151. The Science requirement
may be fulfilled by 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 SSGD.
The Four Areas of Study are:
i) Communications
ii) Social & Environmental Studies
iii) Pure & Applied Sciences
iv) Arts
NOTE: Required subjects (core curriculum) to be selected are designated in this booklet
as follows:
ENGLISH (E)
GEOGRAPHY (G)
HISTORY (H)
MATHEMATICS (M)
SCIENCE (S)
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.
G. Special Programmes
The following special programmes, Independent Studies (XIS 370, XIS 470),
Co-operative Education and Resource Unit, require permission from the teacher
co-ordinator before admittance can be granted. The latter programme is non-
credit.
The Independent Studies programme is available to Grades 11 and 12 students on
an individualized basis. Students interested in enrolling in this programme should
read the programme description included in this booklet.
The Co -Operative Education programme is a joint effort between the schools and the
community to provide a limited number of students with learning experiences outside
the classroom. It involves the use of community resources to meet particular
educational needs of some 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. At Sir Robert Borden High School students nearing the
completion of their secondary graduation diploma have benefitted from this pro-
gramme. Other students with Business or Technical concentrations have found the
practical nature of this programme a help in career selection.
The 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.
H. How do I make my programme selection for the 1983-84 academic year?
1. Carefully read this programme booklet.
2. Show the booklet to your parents and discuss the information contained in the
booklet.
3. Consult your teachers and counsellor regarding your programme choice.
4. Carefully consider your capabilities, work habits, past performance, and future plans
before making your final selection of subjects.
5. Return your completed option sheet, signed by your parents, to your homeform
teacher. Grade 8 students should return their option sheet as directed by their school.
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:
TWW 200 -non -phased -open to all pupils
MAT 130 -basic
MAT 140 -general
MAT 150 -advanced
MAT 160 -enriched
iii) The last digit indicates the language of instruction:
GEO 150 -geography (in English)
GEO 151-geographie (in French)
iv) Non -phased courses:
TWW 200 is an example of a junior credit course open to
all students in grade 9 or 10.
BMG 400 is an example of a senior credit course open to
all students in grade 11, 12 or 13.
F. Enrichment
A number of students, whose ultimate goal is to enter university, should consider taking
enrichment courses. These courses are more challenging and may well result in students
acquiring better work habits as well as additional knowledge. Consequently, the degree
of preparation for Level V or Grade XIII subjects will be greater.
The enriched courses are designed for students with a high level of ability and self-
motivation.
Consultation with the Department Head is required prior to a student entering an
enriched course.
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.
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.
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.

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 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/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 Introduction to Business (BIB 140).
Grade 10 Typewriting (BTY 240), Accounting (BAC 200), and Data Processing
(BDP 240 or 250).
Grade 11 Communications and Business Procedures (BCB 340), Shorthand (BSH 340),
Data Processing (BDP 340 or 350) and one of the following: Law (BBL 340 or

Grade 12 Communications and Business Procedures (BCB 440), and one of the following:
Law (BBL 450), Marketing (BMK 440 or 450), Data Processing (BDP 440).
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:
10
Grade 9 Typewriting (BTY 140) and Introduction to Business (BIB 140).
Grade 10 Accounting (BAC 200), Data Processing (BDP 240 or 250) and Typewriting

Grade 12 Marketing (BMK 440 or 450) or Modem Advertising (BMG 400)
ALLSTUDENTS
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. The studying of optional areas by students often awakens
aptitudes and abilities not previously realized. Any parentor 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.

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, contracts, personal injuries and employment. Students will acquire a
knowledge of law that will help them to understand our legal system and to prevent personal
legal mistakes.
12
BBL 350 CANADIAN LAW Credit: I Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None

chance to learn about their legal rights and responsibilities. In this survey course, the student
will learn about criminal law, our court system, human rights, contracts, torts and employment.
BBL 450 CANADIAN LAW Credit: I Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: None

on human rights, recent developments in Canadian law and current legal issues of interest. In
addition, the ctudent will be able to choose a topic that is of special interest to him for individual
research and study.
COMMUNICATIONS AND BUSINESS PROCEDURES:- these courses are designed to
develop a high degree of skill in the use of such common business communication tools as the
typewriter, telephone, copier, and transcribing machine. Students are taught to improve their
communications skills -speaking, writing, and reading. It is our objective to develop in the
students an understanding and appreciation of the requirements, characteristics, and organi-
zation of business offices, and to familiarize them with all office procedures.
Continuing importance is placed on good typing techniques to ensure a high degree of skills,
accuracy, and speed in production work. Other aspects of these courses are taught through the
project method, individual and group research, oral presentation, problem solving, and
decision-making (case method). Current business magazines and newspapers are available for
resource information.
BCB 340 COMMUNICATIONS AND BUSINESS PROCEDURES Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: BTY 240
Practice is given on various electric typewriters. Accuracy, efficiency, and neatness are

urban environment. As citizens they will be expected to make decisions regarding land use
zoning, a new transit system, satellite communities, and renewal of the city core. To make
intelligent decisions students should be aware of the forces that affect land use patterns, city
growth and evolution, and the quality of urban life. In this course students will examine all of
these topics through studies in class, field trips, and research assignments. Students will
compete in a challenging simulation game designed to give them experience in dealing with
practical problems.
GCA 550 CANADA -GEOGRAPHICAL REALITIES Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: GEO 350
Contemporary Canada is a complex blend of physical environment, social attitudes, regional
economic differentiation and external economic and political pressures exerted by the
international community. The course will attempt to review some of these features of our
Canadian existence by following an inquiry method into a number of broad topics originating in
physical, economic and regional geographies. At the same time, the course will stress practice
and application in geographic fundamentals as preparation for more advanced work.
GWP 550 WORLD PROBLEMS Credit: 1 Unit
Recommended Prerequisite: One Senior course in Geography, History, or Economics
The primary purpose of this course is to provide students with a global perspective on the
contemporary world. Other courses at other grade levels have looked at various aspects of our
world, or at particular regions or countries, but no course has integrated all the information and
concentrated all the skills as this one does. The problems considered here include: the effects of
man on natural ecosystems, exploding populations and scarce resources, the impact of
technological change, and the problems of development as experienced in South America and
Africa especially. Since this is a senior course much of the work will involve group study,
library research, special guest speakers, and problem solving. Students whose career plans do
not include geography should consider this course to become informed on important world
issues.

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 erade 13. They are
introductory 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. For example, the recommended prerequisite for TEL 340
Electronics is TEC 200 Electricity. The prerequisite for TAD 340 Architectural Drafting or
TMD 340 Mechanical Drafting is TDG 200 Drafting.
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. McCrossan, if you wish any additional information concerning these
programs.
