Introduction This booklet is a program guide to the courses offered in the secondary schools of the Carleton Board of Education. It is designed to assist parents and students in selecting a program of studies which will best suit the particular abilities, interests and educational goals of each student. The ultimate responsibility for selecting a student's program rests with the parents, and in the case of a student over eighteen years of age, with the student herself/ himself. However, the school offers considerable advice to assist in this decision- making process. For students entering grade 9, the recommendations of the Grade 8 teachers are most useful. For students already registered in the secondary school, the Guidance Department and subject teachers can offer consultation and advice in deciding on course selection. General Information The Carleton Board of Education offers a wide variety of programs and services to its students. As a result, variations exist from school to school. At the same time, in accordance with Ministry of Education and Carleton Board expectations, there is a common core of programs and services which are available in all CBE secondary schools. This booklet is divided into two sections. Section I presents information about programs and services available in all CBE secondary schools. Section II presents a description of the courses offered in each individual school, along with additional information and registration procedures specific to that school. 4 SECTION I [DIPLOMA REQUIREMENTS All students enteringsecondary school on or after September 1, 1984 are governed by the Ontario Ministry of Education circular Ontario Schools: Intermediate and Senior Divisions (OS:IS). An Ontario Secondary School- -Diploma (OSSD) will be granted on the recommendation of the Principal to a student who has satisfactorily completed a minimum of 30 credits consisting of 16 compulsory and 14 elective.credits.

The 14 credits will consist of 8 electives and the following 6 compulsory credits: English 2 credits Mathematics 1 credit Science 1 credit Canadian Geography or History 1 credit Physical and Health Education 1 credit Total Compulsory Credits 6 credits Elective Credits 8 credits Total for C. of E. 14 credits 5 Ministry of Education Courses All courses offered by our schools have been developed according to Ontario. Ministry of Education requirements and are available to students of both sexes. Courses of study are available for parents to examine through the school office. Although the Ministry provides general guidelines for both compulsory and optional areas of study, the content within the optional -units in courses may vary among schools. The sequence in which' compulsory courses are offered may also vary among schools. While the Ministry requires that certain compulsory courses be completed at the intermediate division, it does not specify the precise grade level at which they must be taught. Definition of a Credit A credit is granted to a student by the Principal in recognition of the successful completion of a course that has been scheduled for a minimum of 110 hours. Levels of Difficulty Courses are offered at various levels of difficulty. The level of difficulty for each course is indicated in the subject code. It is important that students select courses at a level which is appropriate to their abilities and future educational plans. Please note that students need not select all of their courses at the same level of difficulty. ADVANCED LEVEL Advanced level courses focus on the development of academic skills and prepare students for entry to university and to certain programs in the colleges of applied arts and technology. GENERAL LEVEL BASIC LEVEL General level courses are appropriate preparation for employment, careers or certain programs in the colleges of applied arts and technology and other non -degree -granting post -secondary educational institutions. r These courses are designed to improve a student's basic academic skills. They shoul d be taken only after consultation with, the elementary school guidance and special education staff or in secondary schools with the advice of a counsellor or teachers. Course Coding System Explanation of the Course Coding -System All course codes have beep assigned in accordance with the Common Course Coding System developed by the Ontario Ministry of Education. All course codes have at least 5 characters. Some have an optional sixth character. The characters are used as follows: a) The first three characters indicate the subject group and course. Examples: BLW = Business -Law FIW = French Immersion -Writing ENS = English -Skills b) The fourth character indicates grade level as follows: I = Grade 9 2 = Grade 10 3 = Grade 11 4 = Grade 12 5 = Grade 13 O = OAC c) The fifth character indicates level of difficulty as follows: A = Advanced Level G = General Level B = Basic Level d) The sixth character (optional) carries additional information as follows: F = French Immersion in subjects other than French I = French Immersion Gifted G — Gifted C = Co-operative Education, single credit D = Co-operative Education, double credit E = Enriched M = Co-operative Education; French Immersion, single credit N = Co-operative Education, French Immersion, double credit Example: SNCIAF designates "French Immersion, Science, Grade 9, Advanced Level, Early Immersion." 7 Ontario Academic Courses (OAC'S) The Ministry of Education defines an Ontario Academic Course as "a prescriptive provincially designated university -entrance course". Students who intend to go to university will normally take most of their credits at the advanced level of difficulty as appropriate preparation for the OAC' S. These OAC's are gradually replacing the present grade 13 courses. A student may complete the required OAC's in addition to or as part of the 30 credits required for the OSSD. NOTE: There is no required OAC program. A student's selection of OAC's should be based on the courses required by the university program into which he or she seeks admission. This school encourages students to take additional credits to broaden the base of their education. Prerequisite Courses In some instances, the Ontario Ministry of Education mandates that before a certain course is attempted, another course (normally at a lower grade level) must be successfully completed. For any course requiring a Ministry prerequisite, the prerequisite is noted at the beginning of the course description with the heading "Ministry Prerequisite." In addition, certain courses bear the description "Suggested Prerequisite." Such a recommendation is made by the school and suggests that the level of success in the course will be increased by the knowledge or skills learned in the prerequisite. Such recommendations are good advice, but a student will not be denied entry into the course if the "suggested prerequisite" course has not been successfully completed. Where a student, or his or her parents ask that a student be exempted from a Ministry prerequisite course, the Principal of the school will rule on the request. Cancellation of Courses Courses may be cancelled due to insufficient enrolment. In the event of a cancellation, students will be notified and asked to select an alternate course, or the alternate course selected on the option sheet may be substituted for the cancelled course. 8 Course Transfers Requests for changes to a student's program during the academic year will only be considered for a valid reason: Should the request be deemed to be valid, the student's timetable will be adjusted if at all possible given the structure of the master timetable and class size. Requests for timetable changes may be considered for reasons such as: 1) Change in level of difficulty 2) Timetable error 3) Summer School results 4) Change in career plans 5) Requirements for admission into post -secondary education 6) Medical reasons. School Related Package of Courses A school related package consists of a minimum of eight credits in either Business Education or Technology Studies. A student who successfully completes a school related package will have this accomplishment recorded on the Ontario Student Transcript in the form of an endorsement. Ontario Student Transcript A student's record of courses successfully completed and credits gained towards diploma requirements is recorded and maintained on the Ontario Student Transcript. These are entered using common course code designations issued by the Ministry of Education. All mark entries on the transcript are in the form of percentages. 9 Alternate Program The Carleton Board of Education offers an Alternate Program which is designed for students who experience difficulty coping in a traditional secondary school setting. It also serves as a re-entry point for students who have withdrawn from school. The program consists of a Life Skills credit course, a co-operative education program (work experience) land academic courses based on materials from the.Independent Learning Centre For further information, contact your Guidance Counsellor. Co-operative Education -Program Co-operative Education is a program that integrates academic study -and classrooms theory with practical experience in,the workplace. Students are placed in supervised training positions with organizations whose field of endeavour is related to their area of study. - The aim of the program, which is built on a partnership between educators and business and industry, is to provide students with training and work experience that will enable ,them to make informed decisions about their future education and careers as well as ,help them make the transition from school to the world of work. For more information, please contact the e Co-operative Education Co-ordinator in your school. < English as a Second Language Program English as a Second Language is a course designed to aid students whose first language is not English. It covers the four critical areas of language acquisition: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The Comprehensive English Language Test is used to determine the appropriate ESL level for each student. .Under routine circumstances a beginning student proceeds .through all three levels of ESL before entering the regular English program. Pleasecontact the English as a Second Language Reception Centre at City View School (224-7818) for further information. ESL programs are offered at the following schools: J.S. Woodsworth Secondary School Gloucester High School Bell High School 10 French Immersion Program The Carleton Board of�Education offers early and late French Immersion programs at the secondary, school level. Students can take advanced level courses in French Literature and French Composition and Grammar, as well as other subjects such as History, Geography, Sciences and Mathematics. In order to receive a Certificate of French Immersion a student must obtain twelve (12) credits in French Immersion subjects. Students in a Gifted Program must complete ten (10) French Immersion credits to qualify. Gifted Students Program The Secondary School Gifted Program is a continuation of the Carleton Board's program for the intellectually gifted which begins in Grade 4. The aim of the program is to help those students with a high level of "general intellectual ability" reach their potential, not only intellectually but socially, physically and creatively. To enrol in this program a student must be identified as intellectually gifted by an IPRC. The setting of the program is one in which young people are challenged to achieve with their peers in a secure, confidence -building environment. Gifted students meet daily as a group in their core classes (English, Mathematics, Geography, History, Science). They take their elective subjects as members of the regular program. A differentiated curriculum is.offered in Grades 9 to 12. All gifted courses are at the advanced level as described in Ministry guidelines. They are differentiated for intellectually gifted learners to expand both the depth and breadth of learning. For information about the gifted program, please contact the Special Education Department at your high school or elementary school. Petro Canada Program The Ottawa -Carleton Learning Foundation and Petro -Canada jointly sponsor a program which provides students aged 16-24 with an alternate learning experience in service station management and motor vehicle repair. The objectives of. the program are to motivate young people to complete their education on a full-time or part-time basis, to provide on-the-job training, to promote success -oriented work habits and to earn credits toward the OSSD. 11 Semestered Programs Full -credit semestering is a school structure in which the academic year is divided into two equal sections. The first semester runs from September through January; the second from February through June. Students take a maximum of four subjects per semester. Students may transfer from a non-semestered school to a _ semestered school if the transfer allows them to complete diploma requirements in one semester, rather than a full year. The following schools offer a semestered program: Cairine Wilson S.S. Intermediate and Senior Division - Bell H.S. _ Senior Division only A.Y. Jackson S.S. Senior Division only - West Carleton S.S. Intermediate and Senior Division Third Language Programs The following additional language programs are offered by the CBE: German - Gloucester H.S. / A.Y. Jackson S.S. / South Carleton S.S. Latin - Colonel By S.S. / Confederation H.S. / Earl of March S.S. / Sir Robert Borden H.S. Spanish - Bell H.S. / Colonel By S.S. / Merivale H.S. / Sir Robert Borden H.S. / J.S. Woodsworth S.S. NOTE: Students who wish to enrol in third language programs may apply for a variance if they do not reside in the designated area of the school which offers the program. Vocational Programs At Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School, the CBE offers a full range of courses leading to the Certificate of Education, the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and the world of work. The primary purpose of the program is to prepare students to enter the working world. Academic courses offered at the Basic level of difficulty are combined with an external program which provides students with learning opportunities in the community outside of the school. Information. about the Programs available at Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School may be obtained by contacting the school (723-5136). 12 STUDENT SERVICES IN CBE SCHOOLS Guidance and Counselling Services The main purpose of the Guidance Department in each Secondary School is to assist students through the provision of Educational Counselling, Career Counselling, and Personal Counselling. Educational Counselling Help is provided in choosing courses and in selecting programs at universities or colleges. Students with learning difficulties are referred to the Resource Unit for assessment and possible remedial programs. Such referrals are made in full consultation with parents. Career Counselling Exploration of possible career areas and jobs including: part-time employment, summer jobs, work experience/orientation, co-operative education, full-time employment, apprenticeship, the Career Assessment Centre and post -secondary training is a focus of guidance services. Personal Counselling Assistance is provided to help students deal with personal concerns. When the need arises students and their parents should make use of this aspect of the program as early as possible. An effective school counselling program requires excellent communication and co- operation between parents and school personnel. Counsellors are always willing and eager to meet parents to review student goals and monitor student progress. Students are urged to get acquainted with a counsellor early in their high school careers rather than to wait for a problem to develop. Students are invited to browse in the Guidance Reading Room located in their school. Here they will find considerable information about universities, colleges, specific occupational information, as well as information about viable alternatives to formal education. 13 Special Education Services The Special Education Department provides services for all "exceptional students" as defined by an Identification, Placement, and Review Committee. In addition, they assist other students identified through an in -school case conference so that their needs are met by modifications to their regular academic program. The Special Education Department in each school can can upon the Board's Special Services Department for additional support. This department provides direct access to social workers, and psycho -educational consultants. Special Education Resource Units The Special Education Resource Unit (SERU) helps students with a variety of learning difficulties. This unit works with students who need more individualized attention than a regular class can provide. To discuss receiving SERU support, a parent, student or teacher may contact Resource Unit staff at any time throughout the year. Library Services The Libraries of Carleton are designed for learning and have facilities for reading, studying, research and teaching. Students are welcome to use the Library before and after school, at noon and on study periods. The Libraries have collections of leisure reading books and curriculum - oriented materials to suit students' personal reading interests and research assignment needs. Also available are periodical holdings and audio-visual materials. Through the Interlibrary Loan network the resources of all Carleton Board school libraries are available to all students. Several schools offer automated reference services and database searching. Teacher -Librarians plan research projects in co-operation with Subject Specialists. The Library Program is designed for all students so that they develop information skills as well as skills for learning throughout life. Teachers who assign research projects generally bring their classes to the Library for one or more class periods of research. At this time, the Teacher -Librarians will introduce resources to students, teach any required library skills and assist students with their research. Reference service is available throughout the day for students requiring assistance with independent study projects. Individual teacher -librarians will be pleased to expand upon their school library program. 14 STUDENTS Ex ectations of Students and Student Attendance Regular attendance on the part of students is vital to the process of learning. When the processes and content of learning are disrupted by irregular attendance, both the individual student and the class suffer a loss of experience that cannot be entirely replaced. Students who habitually miss a class suffer in the evaluation process because their participation and achievement cannot be assessed. Attendance is an essential component of every course. A student who has been appropriately counselled and provided with support and direction to promote regular attendance in the course, and is still unwilling to attend regularly, will normally fail to achieve credit for the course. Student Contract Option Sheet Students indicate the courses they wish to take during the academic year by completing a student contract option sheet. Based on this information, school officials construct the master timetable and staff the school. As these major decisions are based on the information determined from student option sheets, it is imperative that the information -received be accurate and complete. We, therefore, ask that students and parents give careful thought to the options selected. Opportunities to change option selections will be limited. Student Evaluation Evaluation is not an end in itself, but rather part of the learning process for both the teacher and the student. Its purpose is to judge a student's achievement in relation to the stated objectives of the course. The procedures for evaluating student progress will vary from course to course to meet the requirements of different subjects (from theoretical to practical), different levels of difficulty, and differing learning environments. Specific, written course evaluation procedures are provided to students at the beginning of each course. 15 Transportation of Students The Carleton Board provides transportation for all secondary students who live 2.4 km (1.5 miles) or more from the school that they are directed to attend. Public transit is used for students where OC Transpo service is available. Students using public transportation must possess an OC Transpo identification card before they can be issued a pass. Passes are issued through the individual schools. All regular school bus routes are described in detail in a schedule published and circulated by the Board before the first day of each school year. Students on special routes are contacted by their school bus carrier prior to the first day of school regarding their pick-up time and -details of the route. Student Attendance Variances Students who reside in one school attendance area may wish to transfer to another secondary school. A request for such an "attendance variance" (transfer) must be initiated in writing by the parent or guardian to the principal of the student's designated school. Transfers between schools are granted only when one of the following criteria is met: a) The student wishes to take a program which is not available at the student's designated school and which is required for entry into a post -secondary program of study or employment. A program is defined as three or more sequential courses beginning at the grade 9 or 10 level, or two sequential courses beginning at the grade 11 level. b) The student wishes to take an OAC course which is not available in the designated school and which is required for admission into a university program. c) The student has. special needs associated with specific medical problems, specific identified educational needs, or emotional hardship. d) The student is able to complete diploma requirements in one semester (2 to 4 credits remaining). Please note that if a student withdraws from the program or course for which the variance was granted, or if the program is cancelled, the student shall be required to return to the designated school. 16 PROGRAM SlE]LIEcCTHON IN SIR ROBERT BORDEN IH[IOIH[ SCHOOL GOALS OF EDUCATION Sir Robert Borden High School's programmes are developed to meet the goals of the Ministry of Education and the Carleton Board of Education.
