Mission Statement
of
The Carleton Board of Education
To develop and provide to each student, regardless of age, an education
of the highest quality in a positive environment, with caring and dedicated
staff members.
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 expec-
tations, 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 Bell High School, along with ad-
ditional information and registration procedures.

COURSES
Minishy of Education Courses
All courses offerred 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
r
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
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.
BASIC LEVEL
These courses are designed to improve a student's basic academic skills
in preparation for effective functioning in activities of daily life and employ-
ment. Consultation with guidance/ special education staff is highly recom-
mended before choosing a course at this level.
Course Coding System
Explanation of the Course Coding System
All course codes have been 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 (Early)
FEW =
French (Extended) Writing (Late)
ENS =
English -Writing and Language Skills
b) The fourth character indicates grade level as follows:
1
= 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:
E = Enriched
F = French Immersion in subjects other than French
G = Gifted
C = Co-operative Education, single credit
D = Co-operative Education, double credit
Example: SNC 2AF designates "French Immersion, Science,
Grade 10, Advanced Level, Immersion."
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.
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.
Student Timetables
Students are expected to carry a full timetable. If in their graduating year,
students may enroll in a partial timetable, provided they have sufficent courses to
graduate.
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 com-
pletes 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.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS IN CBE SCHOOLS
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 mid -year 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) and 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 en-
deavour is related to their area of study.
The aim of the program is built on a developing partnership between
educators, business and industry. It provides students with training and work
experience that will enable them to make informed decisions about their future
education and careers, as well as well as help them make the transition from
school to the world of work.
For more information, please contact the Co-operative Education Co-
ordinator in your school.
Who Applies?
-Students who want to investigate job or career possibilities.
-Students who want to obtain work experience working at an AM or
PM placement for a semester.
-Students who will be 16 years of age by September 1, 1990.
How to Apply?
-Complete an application form (available in Guidance or the Co-op Office).
-Arrange an interview to discuss plans with the co-op teacher, or your
guidance counsellor.
-Complete an option sheet requesting the appropriate co-op program.
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 acquisi-
tion: 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.
Please contact 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:
Bell High School
Gloucester High School
J.S. Woodsworth Secondary School
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 an exceptionally 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 environ-
ment. Gifted students meet daily as a group in their course 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 differen-
tiated for intellectually gifted learners to expand both the depth and breadth of
learning.
For information about the gifted program, please contact the Gifted
Program Co-ordinator at the designated high school or the Special Education
teacher in your elementary school.
Learning Disabilities Program
The Secondary School Learning Disabilities Program is a continuation of
the Carleton Board's Elementary School program for learning disabled students.
The aim of the program is to help those students with learning disabilities reach
their potential, not only intellectually but socially, physically and creatively.
To enrol in this program a student must be identified as learning disabled
by an IPRC. The setting of the program is one in which young people are
supported in an individually designed program to attain high school graduation.
The program may modify both course content and evaluation procedures to meet
the student's needs.
While some credit subjects may be taken within the Learning Disabilities
Unit, an effort is made to integrate the student into both advanced and general
level classes where appropriate. The L.D. Unit staff members aid both the
students and their classroom teachers in appropriate modifications for integrated
classes.
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 objec-
tives 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.
Semestered Proms
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 require-
ments in one semester, rather than a full year.
The following schools offer a semestered program:
A.Y. Jackson S.S.
Senior Division only
Bell H.S.
Senior Division only
Cairine Wilson S.S.
Intermediate and Senior Division
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. /
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).
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 univer-
sities 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 employ-
ment, summer jobs, work experience/ orientation, co-operative education, full-
time employment, apprenticeship, the Career Assessment Centre and post-
secondary training.
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 communica-
tion 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.
Svecial 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 confer-
ence so that their needs are met by modifications to their regular academic
program. The Special Education Department in each school can call 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 individu-
alized attention than a regular class can provide. To discuss receiving SERU
support, a parent, student or teacher may contact a Special Education staff
member 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 auto-
mated reference services and database searching.
Teacher -Librarians plan research projects in co-operation with Subject
Specialists. The Library Program is designed for Gifted, Academic and General
Level 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.
STUDENTS
Expectations 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 irregu-
lar attendance, both the individual student and the class suffer a loss of experi-
ence 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 practi-
cal), different levels of difficulty, and differing learning environments. Specific,
written course evaluation procedures are provided to students at the beginning
of each course.
Transportation of Students
The Carleton Board provides transportation for all 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 adequate 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 pub-
lished and circulated by the Board before the first day of school each 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 hard-
ship.
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.

level music course
Any final year group of musicians is likely to include students of varying musical
experience. Most students enrolled in a music course at this level have taken music
courses in each of their Intermediate and Senior years. Some may have studied
music independently or with a private teacher. No matter what the background,
this course can accommodate all students enrolled without sacrificing the intellec-
tual maturity required at this level. Obviously, flexibility of organization is
essential. Students in this course will be expected to have a high degree of
proficiency in reading and performing music and in music theory. At this level
students will refine their instrumental skills in class and through opportunity to
choose from several non-performance units of study to supplement the course's
core components of music history and music rudiments (Elementary Harmony).

concentrate on the meaning of a work of art. Through a careful consideration of the
relationship of subject matter to media and technique, students address the problem
of form and content. Through their work in drawing, painting, sculpture, and
printmaking, students investigate the reconciliation of form and content. The
history/ criticism component continues the comparative study of pairs of important
artworks in anticipation of the historical overview of the OAC.
Students will be required to pay a 15.00 studio fee.
Course Title: Visual Arts
Course Code: AVI OA
Credit Value: 1.0 Prerequisite: AVI 4A
This course is the completion of the advanced -level program, intended for students
continuing to further education. The studio/design and history/ criticism compo-
nents each constitute 50 per cent of the allotted course time. In the studio component,
students select one of painting, sculpture, or printmaking, which they then explore
in depth through the progressive resolution of technical and artistic problems
related to the chosen medium. Students use their study of drawing to support and
expand their evolving ideas within their selected option. The concentration of the
course should assist students in resolving artistic problems and in analyzing their
work critically in relation to the work of classmates and the artistic tradition. The
history/ criticism component will provide students with a sequential overview
based on the key monuments in Art studied in Grades 10-12. It will also stimulate
discussions and supplement the studio work.
Students will be required to pay a $15.00 studio fee.
