Bell High School Floor Plan
96
The purpose of this calendar is to inform parents and students of the programme of studies
of Bell High School. It is also intended to provide the basic information required for the important
process of course selection. The choices made by an individual student will have a great influence
on her/his future plans. Decisions should be made carefully.
The Ontario Ministry of Education on establishing diploma requirements recognizes the import-
ance of National Priorities such as personal physical fitness, an understanding of both English
and French languages, and an awareness of Canada's heritage. Students should keep these priorities
in mind and include them in their programmes. The courses offered at Bell have been developed
according to the requirements of The Ministry of Education and are available to students of both
sexes. Courses of study are on file in the office for parents and students to examine.
Before selecting courses, a student should read this booklet, consult teachers and counsellors
regarding course options and consider seriously both short and long term education goals. Ultim-
ately, the responsibility for a student's programme rests with the parent and the student. 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 the most useful assistance avail-
able. For students already registered in this school, the Guidance department and subject teachers
can offer advice and consultation in determining course selection.
Purpose of a Secondary School
A major purpose of a secondary school is to help each student develop to the maximum his or
her potential as an individual and as a contributing, responsible member of society who will think
clearly, feel deeply, and act wisely. The above purpose can be achieved when the school facilitates
the intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and moral growth of each student and develops more
fully the knowledge, skills, and aptitudes that each student brings to the secondary school.
The identification and achievement of the goals of education are the shared responsibility
of students, teachers, and parents. School programs should give emphasis to what the school is
best equipped to do; namely, to fulfil the intellectual, physical, and social needs of the student.
The school should co-operate with the home in satisfying the emotional and moral needs of the student.
School Objectives
The school shall provide an organized, structured environment so that students will have the
opportunity:
(1) to acquire the basic knowledge and skills needed to continue to post -secondary education
and to be productive in the world of work;
(2) to develop further a sense of personal responsibility and self-reliance;
(3) to acquire a balanced programme of knowledge and cultyral ,flppreciation and
(4) to provide a programme of equal opportunity to all students.

EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS
Parents and students are expected to make realistic programme selections based on the student's
individual needs, abilities and past performance. Once the commitment is made to a particular
programme, students are expected to follow their commitment in a responsible manner.
ATTENDANCE
Education is a process of learning that requires continuity in and exposure to learning exper-
iences. Students must learn to work not only as individuals but also with others. This involves
the student in listening, co-operating, sharing, interacting, and experiencing .Mutual evaluation.
Students should be able, singly and in groups, to investigate, analyse. synthesize, generalize,
and make occasional intuitive leaps in the pursuit of knowledge. Students and teachers should
engage in educational processes that are mutually instructive, creative, and satisfying. The ability
to work with and for others- both adults and peers - is an essential ingredient of the learning process.
Regular attendance on the part of students is an important component of this process and of the
evaluation of student achievement. If the process of learning -is disrupted by irregular attendance,
learning experiences are lost that cannot be entirely regained. Students who habitually miss class
will suffer in the evaluation process because their participation and achievement cannot be fully
assessed. If a student should miss more than one month of a class (20 periods), the successful
completion of this course is placed in jeopardy. Should this inadequate attendance be accompanied
by a failing assessment of work completed, the student may be withdrawn from the course upon the
recommendation of the Principal. If attendance is incompleted to the extent of two months (40
periods) by June, the granting of the credit may be deferred until attendance is more satisfactory.
upon the recommendation of the principal.

(2) When a pupil returns to school after an absence, a parent of the pupil, or the pupil where the
pupil is an adult, shall give the reason for the absence orally or in writing as the principal
requires.
(3) A pupil may be excused by the principal from attendance at school temporarily at any time at
the written request of a parent of the pupil or the pupil where the pupil is an adult.
(4) Every pupil is responsible for his or her conduct to the principal of the school that the pupil

El
THE STUDENT'S PROGRAMME
The school suggests that a student take a full timetable. This is eight courses per year in
Grades 9 to 12 and six courses in grade 13. For Grades 9 to 11, students will be required to attend
a Study Hall for all unscheduled class periods. Grade 12 and 13 students may be excused from this
requirement.
The choices made on the Course Selection Sheet in March will determine:
(a) the organization of the entire school timetable
(b) which courses will be offered in 1985-86.
(c) the programme for each student.
Once this process has been completed, students may not be able to change their programmes
UNLESS a change is necessary to obtain a Diploma by June, 1986.
PLANNING A STUDENT PROGRAMME
There are several principles to be considered in planning individual programmes for students.
Basic Skills
Students, when commencing a secondary school programme, should have the basic skills that will
allow them to continue their education with competence and confidence. Principals of secondary schools
should maintain close contact with feeder schools in regard to curriculum planning.
Course Selection
Students should be advised to take courses that will allow them to capitalize on their abilities.
interests, needs, and educational goals without unnecessarily limiting their future educational and
occupational choices. Courses must be selected to include the required subjects. Courses must also
be chosen to satisfy other diploma requirements if students wish to qualify for the Secondary School
Graduation Diploma or the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. The principal and staff will make recommen-
dations regarding the selection of courses. Such advice should have a significant influence on the
choices made by students with the approval of their parents. However, students and their parents have
the right to make alternative course selections provided that the diploma requirements are being met.
Students who have attained the age of majority may accept responsbility for their own curricular choices.
Sample Timetables
Sample timetables for OSIS students are included at the back of this calendar.
HOW DO STUDENTS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THEIR PARENTS CHOOSE COURSES THAT ARE MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THEM 't
Assistance from teachers, counsellors, and the principal of the elementary school that the student
is attending should be sought when courses are selected. They are the people who see the students
regularly and can tell how difficult certain subjects will be for particular students. They can recommend
subjects that will be best suited to individual students and their career goals and ensure that the
diploma requirements with regard to required subjects and areas of study are met. A careful study
of previous report cards may provide further clues to course selection for students. Parents are reminded
that the final selection of courses is their responsibility. Compulsory courses required for the diploma
must be studied. Consultation is available from the staff at Bell. See the list of Opportunities
for Consultation in this calendar.
WITHDRAWAL FROM A REQUIRED SUBJECT
In order for students to fulfil the Ministry policy regarding required subjects, they must
take the required courses, continue in attendance throughout the duration of the courses, success-
fully complete them, and thus earn credits towards the Secondary School Graduation Diploma or Ontario
Secondary School Diploma. If a student completes a required course but is unsuccessful, she/he may
repeat the course or take a permissible substitute in order to earn a credit for the required subject.
In some cases, after a reasonable period of time during which a student has been in attendance in
a required course the principal. in consultation with staff, parents and student may determine that
it is no longer advantageous for the student to continue in that course. The student may then be
permitted to withdraw from that course. By withdrawing in this way the student forfeits the right
to earn a diploma, unless the course or a permissible substitute is successfully completed at a later
date.
TIMETABLE CHANGES
Timetable changes will be possible during the school year for TWO reasons only:
(a) the change is necessary for the student to obtain a diploma in June, 1986.
(b) a change in LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY is necessary for the student's benefit. The time lines
for this type of change vary from department to department, and will be found in the
departmental evaluation schedules distributed in September, 1984
Students should make appropriate course selection in February as changes may not be possible.
No requests for timetable changes will be accepted after August 1, 1985.
COURSE CANCELLATION
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.
PREREQUISITES
Suggested prerequisites are located with the course descriptions for courses leading to
an S.S.G.D. or S.S.H.G.D. Prerequisites for O.S.S.D, courses will be determined by the Ministry
of Education.
STUDENTS REGISTERING FROM OUTSIDE THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO
Any students entering from outside the Province of Ontario into the Ontario Secondary School
system will be placed in a grade level similar to that into which?he would have been placed in her/his
home province or country. That is, students from outside the province are neither accelerated or
demoted. Secondary School commences at grade 9 and terminates at grade 12 or 13. Students will be
awarded credits on the basis of completed years of secondary education as defined by the Ontario system;
i.e., commencing at grade 9.
EARLY SCHOOL -LEAVING (ONTARIO)
Regulation 159/75 permits a parent to apply for the release of a student, aged fourteen or
over, from regular school attendance so that the student can participate in an alternative learning
experience that is considered suitable for him or her. This experience may involve attendance at
some classes or a full-time program away from the school and can enable students to earn credits
for diploma purposes.
After approval of the program is made by a committee established according to the Regulation,
the student continues to be registered at the school until he or she is no longer of compulsory
school attendance age. The principal has an obligation to participate in monitoring the progress
of the student and to report such progress to the parents.
ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES
There are many enrichment learning opportunities at Bell High School. Some offerings fall
within the curriculum and these courses are indicated with an "E" as the 6th character in the
course code.
Those students who exhibit the ability, maturity, and motivation to master an accelerated
educational program, who have parental approval, and who act with the advice and support of the
principal may complete their secondary school education, including the earning of the Secondary
School Honour Graduation Diploma, in fewer than five years. Such students may be able to earn
enough credits to qualify for both the Secondary School Graduation Diploma and the Secondary School
Honour Graduation Diploma by augmenting the normal credit accumulation through special provisions
such as evening classes, summer school, private study, or correspondence courses.
CONTINUOUS PROGRESS ON A LIMITED BASIS
In a few courses, the students work on programmed material at their own rate, and they
are granted the credit when they have completed the prescribed work. In some cases, the students
take several months longer than the normal school year to complete the work, and in a few cases,
they take less than the usual time. It may be necessary for a student to re -register in a course
which�ne has not completed.
INDEPENDENT STUDY COURSES ON A LIMITED BASIS
her
Sometimes circumstances arise which indicate that a student might work better on/his own
rather than in a classroom with a group of students. In these cases, the student is given a course
of study and a schedule of appointments with a teacher who will give help and evaluation, and
the student does not have to attend classes.
This sounds like an attractive proposal, but in fact, the rate of success if not high, mostly
because of the immaturity of students. For that reason, Independent Study Contracts are permitted
only after very careful consideration, usually only to senior students, and usually in no more
than one course per student.
CREDITS FROM OTHER SOURCES
Mature Students
If you are 18 or older and returning to school after one or more years in the labour force,
you may receive some credit for this experience. Details are available from the Guidance Department.
Night School and Summer School
The permission of the principal of Bell H.S. would be required prior to enrolment in any
night school or summer school course. Upon presentation of the certificates to the school office,
these credits may also be counted towards diplomas.
Correspondence Courses
Under certain conditions a student may take correspondence courses offered by the Ministry
opt Education. Specific information is available from the Guidance Department.
ACHIEVEMENT
Evaluation is not an end in itself but rather part of the learning process for both the teacher
and the student. During the school year, formative evaluation will occur on a regular basis. At
the completion of each course, summative evaluation will occur. Its purpose is to judge the student's
achievement in relation to the stated objectives of the course.
The procedures for evaluating student progress will be sufficiently varied to meet the require-
ments of different groups of students, different courses and different levels of difficulty as well
as a variety of learning environments. The specific procedure for each course will be given at the
commencement of each course to every student in the class. The course descriptions contained in
this calendar also contain an overview of each course.
EXAMINATION POLICY
Final examinations are an integral and compulsory component of most courses offered at Bell
High School. Students who have maintained a satisfactory level of academic achievement throughout
the year, and who have fulfilled ALL the requirements of a specific course in respect to completing
assignments, participation, and attendance, will be exempted from writing the final examination.
For ALL courses in which a final examination occurs, the level of academic achievement
required, in order that a student be considered eligible for a recommendation (exemption from
the examination) shall be 65%.
Specific requirements in regard to assignments, participation and attendance will be published
in September.
Students are required to write at least one formal examination during the year in each
of the courses being studied. Should a student not write a mid-term examination the expectation
is that the June Final, or in the case of Grade 13 students the January/June final will be written.
REPORTS OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
There will be four formal report cards of student progress during 1985-86.
Mid -November - letter grades (progress)
Mid -February - percentage mark (final marks for first semester grade 13 courses)
Mid -April - percentage mark (progress)
Late June - percentage mark (FINALS)
ONTARIO STUDENT TRANSCRIPT
A record of courses successfully completed and credits gained towards the requirements for
the OSSGD. OSSHGD or the OSSD, or the Certificate of Education is maintained on what is known
as an Ontario Student Transcript. Marks are recorded in percentage grades only. If a student
gains a minimum of 8 credits in either business studies or technical studies a special note is
made of this on the Ontario Student Transcript.
REGISTRATION FOR SEPTEMBER, 1985.
Registration for September, 1985, for students currently attending Bell H.S. and for students
from Bell's normal feeder schools will be done in school between March and July of the current year.
Other students can register any time prior to school opening.
Timetables will be distributed in Homeroom on the first day of school.

SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS AND SERVICES
GUIDANCE
The Guidance Department at Bell High School exists primarily to assist students in their
Educational. Vocational and Personal development. To obtain these ends the Guidance Department
provides:
- a reading room with a variety of literature for student use (University calendars, College
calendars, course descriptions and other literature).
- a computer assisted educational and vocational information service.
- a job book for part-time, summer and permanent employment,
- a work experience programme.
- a liaison with community agencies
- a limited series of small group discussions.
- a testing programme
- a major part of the Guidance programme is the individual counselling service. An attempt
is made to see each student at least once a year. Students are strongly encouraged to make
appointments with their counsellor whenever the need arises,.
Parents and students are encouraged to make us of all Guidance facilities and staff to assist
in the Educational. Vocational and Personal development of the student.
SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOURCE UNIT
The Resource Unit provides a service to both students and teachers. A limited number
of students with special needs may be enrolled in the unit to receive direct, individualized instr-
uction. The personnel in the Resource Unit also aid in developing and modifying courses for excep-
tional students in consultation with subject teachers.
The unit assesses students to determine their learning abilities and W determine the appropriate-
ness of special programming. Referrals for assessment and admission to instructional programmes
in the Resource Unit may be made by subject teachers, guidance counsellors, parents, or the students
themselves.
Should you feel that the Resource Unit can be of service to you please contact either the Unit
or a guidance counsellor.
CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION
PC
Co-operative Education is a joint effort between the school and the community to provide
students with learning experiences outside the classroom. It is the utilization of community
resources to meet some particular educational needs of 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 bene-
ficial way. Co-operative education can assist students to develop basic employable skills in
some special service to those students who would benefit the most from such a programme and careful
selection must be made in conjunction with the school staff.
CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION CREDIT COURSE
A student participating in this program will earn credits towards a secondary school diploma
or certificate. An in -school subject (one credit) forms at least one-third of the co-operative
education programme. The approved out-of-school placement (worth up to 2 credits) makes up the
balance of the co-operative education programme. The type of out-of-school placement will depend
on the in -school related subject, the student's career objectives and the individual characterist-
ics of the student. A training profile will be developed for each student. The out-of-school
component is worth 2 credits and requires up to 300 hours at the training station. The employer
and the school jointly develop, monitor and evaluate the student's out-of-school programme and
progress. The student may also receive payment working at a Co-op placement.
It is suggested that students selecting the Co-operative Education course on the option
sheet, should also leave their namesand homeformswith the Co-op office.
Students in the programme usually take 2 in -school courses (2 credits) and work half -days
(2 credits for each semester).
The in -school component can actually be related to any of the subject disciplines.
Peer tutoring is also available at the school under the Co-operative Education Programme.
Students who opt for this component may take either Man in Society, Sociology or the Career Develop-
ment option. Students choosing this option may work in the TMR classes for one period or they
can be timetabled for half a day under the supervision of the teacher. Students should note that
the Career Development Course NGC3G allows students to take two Co-op credits working at a variety
of placements in the community. The Career Development course is the only one that has the flexib-
ility to match a variety of Co-op placements.
TW LIBRARY
The Library offers support for the Bell High School curriculum through a completely circ-
ulating, bilingual collection and access to community resources. The collection of approximately
20,000 resources includes books, magazines, newspapers, current information files, kits and audio-
visual materials.
The centre provides an alternative teaching -learning space for classes, small groups or individuals
working under the guidance of teachers and teacher lbirarians.
Teacher -librarians are available to give students instruction in the research processes needed
for written or oral assignments. Students are also encouraged to consult these teachers if they
have difficulty locating information or resources.
STUDENT TRAVEL
Opportunities for travel exist for groups organized under the auspices of the Carleton
Board of Education and its staff. Such trips are normally to Europe, although some small groups
may journey to Central America or the Caribbean. Information is made available to interested
students during the early part of a school year.
10
LINK AGE
Information on Linkage Programmes which provide for the alignment of subject content in
certain secondary school courses with programmes offered by the Ministry of Colleges and
Universities at the post -secondary level is available in the Guidance Office.
BELL HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE TRAINABLE MENTALLY RETARDED
The Bell TMR School is composed of an Intermediate and a Senior class. The students
participate in a semi -integrated programme. The purpose of the programme is to allow
the students to socialize with students of their own age groups within a school setting
during the day and at special school events. While most of the work (mathematics.
writing, crafts) occurs in the self-contained classrooms, the students use the facilities
of the gymnasium, Family Studies area, Computers, and the Greenhouse. Placement of
students in the programme occurs through SPECIAL SERVICES.

SCHOOL INFORMATION
FIELD TRIPS
One day per week may be designated as an ACTIVITY DAY on the weekly schedule. Most field trips
will occur on this day, and any classes affected by a Field Trip(s) will not have tests. Parental
Permission is required in order that a student participate in a field trip.
STUDENT LOCKERS
Each student in Bell High School will be assigned ONE locker. Lockers remain the property of
the Carleton Board of Education at all times, and school administrative officials may require access
tothese lockers. Therefore, students are to provide the combination of their locks. All lockers
will be assigned by the school administration, through the homeroom.
BUS TRANSAORTAXTOR
It is the present policy of the Carleton Board of Education to provide bus transportation for
all students who live further than one mile from their school.
Students are responsible to the p rincipal of the school for their behaviour on school buses,
both to and from school and on field trips. If a student does not exercise self-discipline on a
school bus, the student may have had Mis privilege of bus transportation removed.
Students are to provide their Bell H,S Student Identification Card to the School Bus Driver
upon request. Failure to comply would indicate that the student is not entitled to bus transportation.
The dates for the 1985-86 school year are NOT included in this Course Calendar. When these dates
are published, every effort should be made to arrange holidays to coincide with the Christmas, March
and summer breaks. Credits may be in jeopardy for non- attendance in subject classes. Students
are expected to be present during the school year. These dates will be included in the June Registra-
tion information and/or in the Student Handbook which will be distributed during the first week of
School in Sept.

PACKAGES - BUSINESS STUDIES
The design of the Business Studies packages introduces students to skills and knowledge
associated with the business community. Students will be given an opportunity to explore the
business system, to acquire keyboarding efficiency, to appreciate technological developments in
the business community, to develop communication skills for the business environment, and to
branch out into a specific area of business studies supportive of their goals and needs.
Successful completion of the package will lead to an endorsement on their transcript indicating
a concentration of courses in an area of Business Studies. Each package will consist of eight
business courses. The packages outlined below are designed to assist the students in their
choices of options in a specific area of study. However, students may choose any eight
Business Studies courses for a Business Studies endorsement.
It is important to note that, if a student does not choose a package of studies, it does not
prevent the student from selecting, as options, the individual courses offered by the Business

BLW4A LAW.
1 credit
Prerequisite: BLW3A
Course content is similar to BLW4G in
terms of the issues covered. However,
this course is being offered at the
advanced level, and thus differs in many
respects. The course is taught
completely from case studies which
permit students a greater opportunity to
"visualize" legal principles and the
detail of their application. The
presentation of course material
encourages (if not demands) student
self-motivation. Experiences with case
analysis and problem solving techniques
learned in the grade 11 advanced course
are continually called upon and further
refined.
Evaluation of learning is based entirely
on the "independent contract" model.
Besides the knowledge of advanced legal
concepts, this course has as one of its
objectives the notion of challenging
students to experience and develop the
skills and attitudes helpful in further
academic pursuits.

as supervisor. The student will act as
a teacher's aide and be given the
opportunity to observe and work with the
children and to apply their in -school
learning. They will also develop
interpersonal skills and gain work
experience.
Out of school progress will be evaluated
in consultation with the student,
teacher and supervisor. The in -school
component will be evaluated through
tests, assignments and projects. The
two components will be averaged, but SO%
must be obtained in each for the
granting of two credits.

NFR4G CONTEMPORARY STUDIES:
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Families and individuals are faced with
an increasing number of choices.
Management implies the conscious use of
resources to achieve goals. In the
context of Family Studies, management
consists of the purposeful behaviour
directed towards the creation and use of
resources to achieve individual and
family goals. The three major concepts
of the course include the social and
economic influences on individual and
family management, the elements of
management and the management process.

LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT
3 credit
package
Prerequisite: None
Depending on staffing, number
of students taking the course
may be limited.
This program is designed for senior
students who are or will be in the
transition process from school -to -work
and home to independent living. They
will develop life skills which will
enable them to become balanced
self -determined persons.
The skills are those which enable them
to make decisions and effectively manage
their personal lifestyle in the areas of
family, leisure, community and job.
They will also develop more complex
skills in critical thinking,
interpersonal problem solving and
planning and goal setting.
The program is a 3 credit package with
an in -school Lifestyle Management
component and an out of school Co-op
work placement. It will be scheduled in
the afternoon and students will attend
class and then the rest of the afternoon
will be spent in a training organization
where the focus will be on the
development of skills, necessary for
finding a job and keeping and
progressing on a job. Students will be
encouraged to explore a variety of
situations through different training
organizations and training station
instructions.
Student progress will be evaluated by
the teacher as well as the training
station instructor. The results of the
two components will be averaged, and the
student must obtain 507 in each for the
three credits to be granted. Students
taking this program should have a full
morning timetable.

GRADE 13 FAMILY STUDIES
NFP5A THE CANADIAN FAMILY
IN PERSPECTIVE
1 credit
This course is based on principles of
sociology and social psychology. Topics
studied will include:
a) a sociological study of the family
as an institution in relation to
other social institutions;
b) family structures, forms, roles and
relationships;
C) the Canadian family in a
technological society;
d) demography and heritage of the
Canadian family, including the study
of ethnic groups;
e) the family in cross cultural and
historical perspective, showing
varieties of patterns in mate
selection, marriage, and child
rearing;
f) functions of family, socialization,
economic, housing;
g) independent study.
Some objectives of this course are:
- to discover that the family process
is a plan of family experience,
involving the interaction of the
family with its dynamic cultural
setting, and reflects changing
expectations from generation to
generation.
- to examine critically current
theories and cliches about the
disintegration of the family.
- to trace some of the historical and
cultural elements which lead to a
fuller understanding of contemporary
life in Canada.
An independent study and seminars on
topics selected by the students
encouraging a high level of creative
thinking and research will be of major
importance in this course.

GEA2A GEOGRAPHY OF EURASIA
1 credit
Prerequisite: None
About 70% of the world's people live in
Eurasia. These very different peoples,
in very different environments, are
responsible for many of the world's
economic, cultural and political
happenings which shape OUR daily lives.
This course aims at allowing students to
learn about the world's largest
continent and its diverse human
geography.
The course will include the study of
broad patterns of physical and cultural
systems within Eurasia - in other words,
what does Eurasia have in common
throughout its vast area. However, no
area as large as Eurasia can exist
without many differences within it as
well - the course will then focus on
major regions of Eurasia to describe
both the geography of the area plus the
importance of the region to Eurasia, to
Canada and to the Global Village.
Many people in Canada claim that much of
what goes on in Canada is beyond the
control of Canadians. If this is true,
many of these "uncontrollable" forces
are presently at work in Eurasia. We
should understand these overseas
portions of Canada's environment, both
for understanding of these areas in
themselves and a better understanding of
our own Canadian environment.

Prerequisite: None
People look closely at a component of
the Earth and its atmospheric envelope
when a disaster or a catastrophe to Man
occurs. This human impact can serve as
an opener to the less dramatic and
gradual processes which are occurring on
a daily basis at a slow or imperceptible
rate. These processes take place in the
life -supporting layer or Biosphere which
covers the outer shell of the Earth's
crust and the gaseous layer above it.

Physical Geography may be described as
the building up of landscapes through
time; the wearing down of landscapes;
the relationships between underlying
structures and surface features. All of
thse components will be reveiwed in
units such as: Glaciation and the Ice
Ages in Canada; Rivers; Wind; The Sea;
Weathering and Mass Wasting; Plate
Tectonics and the drifting of the
continents; Volcanic and Earthquake
activity. A natural outcome of these
studies will be the impact of these
agents or processes on Man.
The atmospheric engine with its
immediate, observable characteristics
will be studied. Elements of weather,
climate, and local as well as world
patterns will be studied. Constraints
and limiting factors on the world's
patterns of vegetation and soils will be
looked at. Students will be given an
opportunity to study environments such
as the tropical rainforest.
Many tools and resources will be used
during the course: Library materials,
films, filmstrips, tapes and slides,
guest speakers, local field activities,
maps and air photographs, pamphlets and
government publications.

Countries or regions will be exmained
from three points of view: the character
of the area itself, how the region is
adjusting to change, and the importance
of the area to Canada and the world at
large.
Significant cultural, economic, physical
and political events will be analyzed.
The sample study, in-depth method of
area analysis will be used so that the
students will become more aware of the
distinct regional footprints on the
surface of the Earth. The quality of
each area (looking at the total human
activity) will be developed, analyzed
and appreciated. Scope will be given for
individual research, self-interest
topics, and approaisal of current events
on the world scene.

recommended
Why do people live in cities? Why can't
a factory be built near your house? Why
do you have to have permission to build
a garage on to your house? Who decides
how land is to be used? When do cities
begin to form? How are Rome and Athens
similar or different? These, and a
multitude of other questions will serve
as essential components of the course.
This is an introductory course in Urban
Geography in which the student learns
many of the basic concepts about cities
- their origins, growth, functions,
spheres of influence and zones or
distinct land use patterns. Emphasis is
placed on the study of specific cities
from the world stage to develop theories
and hypotheses about the formation and
patterns of cities. Field trips are
frequently used to illustrate key
concepts about the environment in which
the student lives.
The course will include: definitions of
terms relating to urban studies;
Christaller's Central Place Theory,
historical growth of cities;
Magalopolis, with reference to Boston,
New York and Washington (Bosnywash);
site, situation, function and land use
attributes of cities; Ghettoes and how
they emerge; in-depth studies of several

introduced to the basic internal and
external structures of the earth and the
processes by which they are formed.
Field excursions play a very significant
role in understanding both the geology
of the local area as well as the
principles covered in general studies,
and students will be expected to
participate in this field work.

1 credit
There is a continual demand for
geologists in Canada and many come from
other countries to fill the vacant
positions. It is also shown by
statistics that this situation will
continue for much of the decade.
Geology has a great appeal as it is a
practical subject requiring both field
work and laboratory work, calling for
greater personal involvement on the part
of the students who can make
observations and even minor discoveries
for themselves.
A generalized view of the terrestrial
environment is both beneficial and
i.ntersting. An appreciation of
landscapes and the discovery, collecting
a'nd interpretation of rocks, minerals
and fossils are all of general interest.
These components will form the dominant
parts of the course.

GWI5A WORLD ISSUES: GEOGRAPHICAL
INTERPRETATIONS
1 credit
Prerequisite: None
The intent of this course is to provide
students with a global view of world
problems, and to examine the
complexities of "solving" these issues.
Five major concerns will be examined
from Man -Man and Man- Environment
relationships and will involve studies
of:
- Environmental concerns; the ways in
which man is affecting the
environment and the changes in Man's
activities resulting from changes in
the .physical world.
- demographic trends and concerns;
setting the record "straight" on
population issues, myth -exploding.
- resource concerns; issues resulting

The primary objective of this course is
to teach communication through
comprehension of the spoken and written
word. The emphasis is therefore largely
on the passive skills.
French culture and civilization
constitute an integral part of this
course. The students will be working in
the general framework of Passeport

writing do, however, receive an
increasing emphasis as the program
develops from year to year.
Reading skills no longer are restricted
to previously mastered oral core
structures and vocabulary. Reading
contexts (Lecture de base) are used for
the first time introducing a
considerable number of new vocabulary
items.
Writing is strictly limited to selected
items from the oral core program. Still
the primary function of the writing
program is the consolidation of speech
and reading skills.
The progress of the student is evaluated
formally at the end of each unit and

works in whole and sometimes in parts so
as to become better acquainted with
different "genres litteraires" chosen
from French and French Canadian
literatures. Such a study will lead to
written expression and oral exchanges on
the thoughts and styles of the authors.
The study of grammar will continue

1 credit
Prerequisite: LFR2PC
Continuous development is provided in
each of the four language skill areas:
listening, speaking, reading and writing
with equal emphasis now being placed
upon reading and writing both of which
will account for 50% of the final mark.
Reading selections are more numerous and
more challenging than in previous levels
and serve as source materials for all
new language elements intended for
mastery.
Although writing continues to function
primarily as a support skill, the level
of achievement in all four skill areas
now permits the limited use of writing
for expression. For this purpose, a
short, written composition project is
included in each unit during the second
semester.
The progress of the student is still
evaluated formally and informally
through day-to-day assessment of his
class participation.
The year's
work will cover units 1

with little linguistic ability who
nevertheless wish to learn the basics in
French so that they may eventually
function in a francophone environment.
The primary objective of this course is
to teach communication through
comprehension of the spoken and written
word. The emphasis is, therefore,
largely on the passive skills. French
culture and civilization constitute an
integral part of this course.
Students will be working in the general
framework of Passeport Frangais

Regularly the students are to present a
"causerie" where they must prove that
the language "works" for them.
Furthermore, they will study a few
poems, some literary or informative
passages. They will have to produce book
reports and essays.
The student's progress is evaluated
formally through tests and exams and
informally through assessment of their

given scale from basement to roof. In
this phase of woodworking students will
be required to frame a structure
completely and accurately so it could
pass a building inspection.
Cabinet Making. Students must be able to
plan and layout all aspects of a cabinet
type project before work can begin. They
will be solely responsible for the
accuracy of the project and its design.
The cabinet project should include use
of all major machines and include
intricate joinery to develop competence
with these fits. The student's work will
be evaluated on how closely the finished
product reflects the original design.
Both the building construction and
cabinet making components are intended
to give the students enough knowledge to
be able to build and finish a
residential structure should the need
arise in their future.

GRADE 9 ART
AVIlA VISUAL ARTS
1 credit
Prerequisite: None
This course serves as an introduction to
the principles of design and its
application. The starting point is the
learning of lettering and its proper
spacing. This will be combined at a
later stage with preliminary designs for
a picture. Picture making by itself -
learning the design elements necessary
for a properly designed work of art
receives special attention. Drawings in
black -and -white and some in colour are
done with particular emphasis on colour
and composition.
Progressively more difficult exercises
in the field outlined above will help
the student to develop a background of
knowledge for more mature art work. No
history is taught at this level.

AVI2A GRADE 10 ART
1 credit
Prerequisite: AVAlA
The basic design elements presented in
AVAIA will be reviewed and developed
through a variety of studio problems at
a more advanced level. The study of
colour and its application is also
continued. Drawing, both mechanical and
free hand, ranges from geometric
patterns to the design for posters and
still life. The study of perspective in
its various forms is a very important
part of the course. Some three
dimensional work is also done.
The aim of this course is to teach the
student to work effectively in both a
realistic manner (hence the emphasis on
perspective) and a stylized (non—
realistic) manner.
Art history is introduced at this level,
ranging from the art of prehistoric man
to the beginning of the Gothic period.

has attained the age of 18. The pupil remains a student of the school and is still subject
to all the obligations and duties of a student.
AREA OF STUDY
The Ministry of Education has prescribed four areas of study for secondary school programmes
and requires that courses be grouped under these areas for those entering high school prior
to 1985. They are Communications, Social and Environmental Studies, Pure and Applied Science.
and Arts.
CANADIAN STUDIES
Students who entered secondary school in September 1974 or later must have two courses

ment is met by the Core Programme. In this booklet Canadian Studies courses are listed
in separate boxes,
CORE PROGRAMME
Seven courses that students entering secondary school in September 1977 or later must complete
by the end of Grade 10. In this booklet, all core programme courses are boxed.
COURSE
A course consists of a body of knowledge related to a subject, where knowledge is taken
to include such features as acquiring information, understanding concepts, mastering skills,
utilizing processes, gaining experiences, and developing attitudes.
There are three course lengths offered at Bell H.S.
(a) A course which is taken for one period per day for the entire year has a value
of one credit.
(b) A course taken for one period per day for halt the year (one semester) has a value
of i credit.
(c) Grade 13 courses have double periods per day for half the year (one semester) for
1 credit.
COURSE SELECTION SHEET
List of courses that a student has contracted to take in the 1985-86 school year.
NOTE; Course Selection Sheets are due on March 1, 1985,
CREDIT
Successful completion of a course for which a minimum of 110 hours has been scheduled.
Mork. time. attendance and evaluation are all significant components of a course. The
scheduled time does not include the time required for homework.
CURRICULUM GUIDELINES
Course description guidelines issued by the Ministry of Education. The number of credits
available and the content of a course are established from these guidelines. The appropriate
guideline for each course is listed under each course description.
ENGLISH STUDIES
Four English Studies courses must be completed by the end of Grade 12 by all students who
entered between September 1974 and June 1984. Note that not all English courses meet this
requirement. In this booklet all English Studies courses meeting the requirement are boxed.
GRADE
Grade is an annual stage in a school programme. The Cort: Programme must be successfully
completed before a student can enter grade 11. A student can enter grade 13 upon the attain-
ment of the SSGD.
OAC
A prescriptive. provincially designed university entrance course known as Ontario Academic
Course.
ONTARIO STUDENT TRANSCRIPT
The Ministry of Education has developed a transcript to to used uniformly in the Province
of Ontario in the 1985-86 school year. The course codes as they appear in this calendar
have been revised to prepare for this transcript. The rww forms will be available from
the Ministry of Education. This new transcript will report all courses offered in Ontario
Secondary Schools using common codes and with specific reference to the Ontario Ministry
guidelines from which the courses of study are derived. Currently, the marks of successfully
completed courses are recorded on the form called "Summary of Successful Secondary School
Programmes". This form is filed in the Ontario School Record folder and is available to
parents on request.
tr. o
Ontario Secondary School Diploma for those students entering grade 9 after September 1984.
PREREQUISITE
The school's recommendation of other courses which must be successfully completed prior
to enrolment in a course. While no prerequisite is mandatory, successful completion of
the course is unlikely without this prerequisite.
PROGRAMME
A programme is a set of courses for which the student has riade a commitment. Any alteration
of the programme requires the permission of the school and the parents (unless the student
has obtained the age of majority ).
RECORDS OF ACHIEVEMENT
Past records of student achievement are retained in the student's Ontario Student Record
Folder. A pupil, and her/his parent or guardian where the pupil is a minor, is entitled
to examine the record of such pupil.
SCHOOL DAY
The school day starts with the Homeroom at 08:45 a.m, and continues until the student is
released from school. Regular classes are finished at 3 p.m, and unless required to stay
by school staff, students are free to leave the school.
e'er+
Secondary School Graduation Diploma given at the and of Grade 12 provided that the student
has fulfilled diploma requirements according to the year of entry into Secondary School.
Secondary School Honour Graduation Diploma given at the end of Grade 13 upon completion
of six Grade 13 credits. The diploma reflects the student's selection of a programme and
the achievement in that programme; it is, thus, as individual as the student who earned
it.
STUDY HALL
Supervised student study area. This policy was instituted several years ago because of
community expectation that students should be in school during the school day. Unsupervised
periods were resulting in class skipping and damage to adjacent community areas.
