Mission Statement
Of
The Carleton Board of Education
ITo develop and provide to each student, regardless of age, an education of the highest
quality in a positive environment, with caring, dedicated, and effective staff members.
INTRODUCTION
The information in this booklet is directed to students presently enrolled in secondary
school. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN INFORMATION ON THE GRADE 9 PROGRAM.
The grade 9 program will be described in a separate course booklet. Grade 8 students
and their parents should consult this booklet.
This booklet is a guide to the courses offered in the Carleton Board of Education's secondary schools. It
is designed to help you and your parents select a program of studies which will best suit your particular
abilities, interests and educational goals. The Board has attempted to make this booklet complete and
accurate. In all cases, Ministry of Education directives take precedence over any information provided
here.
Students: the ultimate responsibility for selecting your program rests with your parents, or, if you are
over eighteen years old, with you. Your school offers you considerable advice to help you make your
decisions. Consult your Guidance Department and subject teachers.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Carleton Board of Education offers a wide variety of programs and services to its secondary school
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 three sections. Section I presents information about programs and services
available in all CBE secondary schools. Section H describes the courses offered at Bell High School for
grades 10 to OAC.

COURSES
Ministry of Education Courses
All courses offered in Carleton Board schools have been developed according to Ontario Ministry of
Education and Training requirements. All courses are open to students of both sexes. Outlines of courses
of study are available in each school office for parents to examine.
Although the Ministry of Education provides general guidelines for both compulsory and optional areas
of study, the content in optional course units may vary from school to school. The sequence of compulsory
courses may vary among schools. While the Ministry requires that certain compulsory courses be
completed at the Intermediate Division in secondary schools, it does not specify precisely at which
grade level they must be taught.
Definition of a Credit
For students in Grades 10 -OAC a credit is granted to a student by the principal for successful completion
of a course which is scheduled for a minimum of 110 hours.
6
Level of Difficulty
Courses are offered at up to three levels of difficulty for grades 10 -12: Advanced, General and Basic.
The level of difficulty for each course is indicated in its subject code. It is important that you select
courses at a level appropriate to your abilities and future educational plans. However, you need not
select all of your courses at the same level of difficulty. All OAC courses are offered at the Advanced
level. The three levels of difficulty are described below.
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
Basic level courses are designed to improve a student's basic academic skills and are appropriate
preparation for employment.
The Common Course Coding System
All course codes have been assigned according to the Common Course Coding System developed by the
Ontario Ministry of Education. Each course code has at least 5 characters. Some have an optional sixth
character. The characters are used as follows:
The first three characters indicate the subject group and course. For example:
BLW = Business -Law
FIG = French Immersion
MAT = Mathematics
7
PAM
The fourth character indicates the grade level:
1 = Grade 9
2 = Grade 10
3 = Grade 11
4 = Grade 12
0 = OAC
The fifth character indicates the level of difficulty:
A =
Advanced level
G =
General level
B =
Basic level
W =
Grade 9 Transition Course
The sixth character (optional) carries additional information. In Carleton Board secondary
schools, the following sixth character designators are used:
C Single credit Co-operative Education
D Double credit Co-operative Education
E Enriched
F French Immersion course (other than French language)
G Gifted
K Sheltered Course
Example: MAT 2AF designates Mathd6matiques, Grade 10, Advanced Level, French
Immersion.
Ontario Academic Courses (OAC'S)
The Ministry of Education defines an Ontario Academic Course as "a prescriptive provincially -
designated university -entrance course". Students going on to university normally take most of their
credits at the advanced level in preparation for the OAC's. OAC's have replaced the old Grade 13
courses. You may complete the required OAC's either in addition to, or as part of, the 30 credits you
need for an OSSD. Notice, however, that there is no required OAC program. You should select OAC's
on the basis of the courses required by the university program you wish to take.
Prerequisite Courses
For certain courses, the Ontario Ministry of Education mandates that before you take the course, you
must successfully complete another course, normally at a lower grade level. In this booklet, such a
prerequisite is noted at the beginning of the course description with the heading "Ministry
Prerequisite." Should you or your parent ask that you be exempted from a Ministry prerequisite course,
your principal will rule on the request.
Some courses bear the description "Suggested Prerequisite." This description means that your school
10
recommends that you take the prerequisite because your degree of success in the course will be increased
by what you learn in the prerequisite. Such recommendations are good advice. However, you will not
be denied entry into the course if you have not completed the suggested prerequisite.
Several courses are offered every second year. Students interested in two or more of the
following courses should plan their programs carefully. If you have any questions, please see your
Guidance counsellor.
The following courses will be offered in
BMR3G -
Retailing
FIGOA -

For more information on these courses, please read course descriptions in Section II of this
calendar.
Course Cancellations
Courses may be cancelled because of insufficient enrollment. Should a cancellation occur, either you
will be notified and asked to select an alternate course, or an alternate course you selected on your option
sheet will be substituted.
Course Transfers
Requests to change your program during the academic year will be considered only for a valid reason.
Your school may consider a timetable change request for reasons involving:
• a change in level of difficulty,
• a timetable error,
• Summer School results,
• a change in career plans,
• post -secondary education admission requirements, or
• medical matters.
Should your request be deemed valid, your timetable will be adjusted, if possible, taking into account
the master timetable and class sizes.

Ontario Student Transcript
A record of courses you have successfully completed and credits you have earned towards diploma
requirements is maintained on the Ontario Student Transcript. Completed courses are entered on your
Transcript using common course code designations issued by the Ministry of Education.
School -Related Package of Courses
A school -related package consists of eight credits (minimum) in either Business Education or
Technological Studies. If you successfully complete a school -related package, your accomplishment is
recorded on your Ontario Student Transcript in the form of an endorsement.
10
COURSE SELECTION
Grade 10 to OAC
In selecting his or her program, a student should answer the following questions: Which courses? What
levels of difficulty? How many courses? The following pages are designed to help you answer these
questions.
WHICH COURSES?
1. There are compulsory courses which must be completed to meet the requirements for the Ontario
Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). See diploma requirements on page 5.
2. The remaining courses in a student's high school program are "electives" (courses chosen to meet a
student's needs and interests).
3. Students must carefully consider the courses that they may need for future employment and for
further education at university or at the colleges of applied arts and technology.
4. Secondary school education is more than just an accumulation of credits. It is an opportunity to
explore the full range of knowledge before the specialization of post -secondary programs or
employment. A student's selection of courses should be broad enough to ensure a comprehensive
education program
WHAT LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY
1. Courses at Bell High School are offered at two levels of difficulty: General and Advanced.
Please note that not all courses are offered at both levels. Students may take courses at either
or both levels of difficulty.
a ) General Level courses are considered to be appropriate preparation for employment or further
education in certain programs in the colleges of applied arts and technology and other non -
degree granting post -secondary educational institutions. They are NOT appropriate
preparation for either Ontario Academic Credit (OAC) or for entry into university.
b) Advanced Level courses are focused on the development of academic skills and prepare students
for entry to university and the more demanding programs at the colleges of applied arts and
technology.
HOW MANY COURSES?
a) Students entering Grades 10 and 11 must select 8 courses plus an alternate.
b) Students entering Grade 12 or 13 may have a spare if their credits will total
23 by the end of June 1995.

(`G CHOOSING YOUR COURSES WISELY
Place a check mark in the box to the left of each suggested activity when you have completed the item.
�1
1.
Check the diploma requirements on page 5 to be certain that all compulsory courses
for your OSSD have been completed.
❑
2.
Consider all other possible options by carefully examining the course outline section
which is part II of this book.
U
3.
Read page 13, titled "After High School." Examine university and college calendars
for compulsory prerequisite courses which must be completed before entering the
program.
❑
4.
Determine your interests. Students tend to have high grades in courses that they enjoy.
❑
5.
Evaluate your abilities. Look at your grades in previous related courses. Read page 11,
titled "Course Selection", to help you decide on the appropriate level of difficulty.
❑
6.
Talk to your teachers. Both your present teachers and the teachers of the courses which
you are considering will be of assistance to you.
❑
7.
Talk to your parents. Discuss your choices with your parents. Don't just ask them to sign
the form!
❑ 8. Talk to other students. Find out as much information about the course as possible now.
Be sure it's what you want.
❑ 9. Talk to other adults who are currently employed in the area of your career interest.
These people may be able to recommend appropriate courses.
0 10. Tentatively plan the OAC courses you expect to take. Make sure that you have
included the necessary senior level prerequisites if you intend to complete OAC courses.
0 11. Make an appointment to discuss your choices with your Guidance counsellor. If your
parents wish to speak to a counsellor, they can call the school at 828-9101.
❑ 12. Evaluate the choices you have made. Do your courses satisfy your needs, abilities, and
interests? Once the school year begins, very few changes will be made and the rules
will be strictly followed.
12
POINTS TO CONSIDER
In Grade 10, select courses at the appropriate level of difficulty and work on the completion of
most of your compulsory credits.
As you enter Grade 11 look ahead at your next few school years and plan how you will complete
all your diploma requirements. Choose elective courses that will give you a range of
experiences and prepare you for courses you may want to take at the senior level.
a) Immersion students need to plan carefully to fulfill the requirements of the French
Immersion Certificate.
b) Students in advanced -level courses should make sure they have the prerequisites
for any OAC courses they wish to take.
3. As you enter Grade 12, make sure that you have completed your compulsory credits. You should
research post -secondary education requirements carefully.
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL
University
Universities require an OSSD and 6 OAC credits for entrance. Admission requirements vary for
different programs. Students should plan early in their high school years to make sure they have the
required courses for the program of their choice. It is very important that you consult the university
calendars in the Guidance Office and talk to your counsellor about specific requirements. As well you
should be aware that limited enrolment courses have very high academic requirements.
Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology
Most college programs require an OSSD for entry. Some programs require specific high school
credits, but subjects may be at the advanced or general level, and no OACs are required. Again, you
should consult the calendars in the Guidance Office and discuss programs with your counsellor.
Private Vocational Schools
Students should consult the booklets titled "Spectrum" available in the Guidance Department
for information on these schools. Local private vocational schools are listed in the Yellow Pages as
well.
Apprenticeships for Skilled Trades
Apprenticeship training is administered by the Skills Development Division of the Ministry of
Colleges and Universities. For more information see your counsellor or phone 731-7100.
Other Training Institutions
A number of Professional Associations offer specific training for potential members. In addition,
a number of government or private institutions offer training programs. Check with your Guidance
counsellor for more information.
13
Performing/Visual Arts
Skills and knowledge gained in school courses will help students meet portfolio/audition
requirements for further training. Consult your specialty teacher and your counsellor for information
and assistance.
Armed Forces
Contact the C.A.F. recruiting office at 992-3038 to find out about occupational and educational
opportunities available and entry requirements.
Part -Time Studies
For some people, it is advantageous to prepare for an occupation on a part-time basis through
"continuing studies". Such study programs are frequently offered at night through colleges and
universities. Contact your local college and university for brochures outlining the programs available
through their Continuing Education Department or see your counsellor.
14
SPECIAL PROGRAMS IN CBE SCHOOLS
The French Immersion Program
The Carleton Board of Education offers a French Immersion program in all its secondary schools
with the exception of Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School. Through its schools, the Board offers the
Carleton Board of Education Certificate in French Immersion which is awarded to secondary school
graduates who have earned the requisite number of Late Immersion/ Extended or Early Immersion
French program credits.
Students entering Grade 9 prior to September 1993 must earn a minimum of 12 French Immersion
program credits. [Students in the Gifted program must complete at least 10 French Immersion program
credits to qualify.]
Students entering Grade 9 in September 1993 or thereafter must acquire a minimum of half their
instruction in the French language during their Grade 9 Transition Year, and complete at least 7
additional French Immersion program credits beyond Grade 9.
** Exceptions:
Students completing the Grade 9 Gifted Immersion program must
acquire a minimum of 6 French Immersion program credits beyond
Grade 9.
2. Students completing the Grade 9 Gifted Semi -Immersion program
must acquire a minimum of 8 French Immersion program credits beyond Grade 9.
** Note: At least 1 French Immersion program credit must be earned in the
Senior Division (i.e. must be a Grade 11,12 or OAC course).
Alternate Education Program
The Carleton Board of Education's Alternate Education Program is designed for students who have
difficulty coping in a traditional secondary school setting. The program 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) 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 work -education program for which students receive credits. The program
promotes skill development, career development and self-awareness by integrating classroom learning
with supervised work experiences in a business, an industry or a community service organization. The
goals of Co-operative Education are:
• To prepare students for careers,
• To help students understand classroom learning through practical applications in
real-life situations,
• To develop in students an understanding of employers' expectations in real job
situations,
• To increase students' motivation,
15
• To help students develop appropriate plans for post -secondary employment and
education,
• To develop in each student a positive self-image,
• To help students develop and reinforce marketable skills,
• To help students understand and appreciate the world of work, and
• To help students discover their true interests and abilities and to test their
aptitudes and skills in the world of work.
As a student in Co-operative Education, you spend a portion of your school day in a curriculum -related
community work setting for the term or semester. The program involves an individualized training plan
and an individual Work Education Agreement which sets out the time that you spend at the worksite.
Your progress is monitored every three weeks by a teacher knowledgeable in the subject area, and an
evaluation is carried out co-operatively by your teacher monitor and the supervisor at your work site.
You meet regularly throughout the semester or term with other co-operative education students to share
experiences, reflect on learning and participate in integration activities and assignments.
To enter a Co-operative Education program, you must:
• choose "Co-operative Education" on your option sheet,
• ensure that you have successfully completed the related in -school course to which
your placement will be linked, or have arranged to take the course concurrently
with your out -0f -school program,
• submit a completed Co-operative Education Application Form to the Co-operative
Education Co-ordinator, and
• participate in an interview with school staff to discuss the suitability of the co-
operative program you would like to take.
For detailed information about Co-op at Bell High School, please refer to the Co-operative
Education course description in Part II of this calendar.
16
English as a Second Language Program
English as a Second Language (ESL) is a program designed to aid students whose first language is not
English. It covers the four critical areas of language acquisition: listening, speaking, reading and
writing. Normally, a beginning student takes all three levels of ESL before entering the regular English
program. A formal initial assessment is done to determine the appropriate ESL level for each student.
ESL programs are offered at the following schools:
• Bell High School
• Colonel By Secondary School
• Gloucester High School
• J.S. Woodsworth Secondary School
• Merivale High School
• Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School
• Sir Robert Borden High School
For further information, contact the English as a Second Language Reception Centre, Brooklane
Education Centre (224-7818).
Program for the Intellectually Gifted
The mandate of the Secondary School Gifted Program is to provide differentiated learning experiences
beyond those normally provided in the regular school program to those students who have been
identified as intellectually gifted by an Identification, Placement and Review Committee (IPRC).
Students in the program 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 and Science). In these classes, a differentiated curriculum is offered to expand both
the depth and breadth of their learning. All such gifted courses are given at the advanced level as
described in Ministry guidelines. Gifted students take their elective subjects as members of the regular
program.
Secondary School Gifted Programs are offered at the following schools:
Bell High School
Gloucester High School
Merivale High School
For more information, please consult the Special Education fact sheet entitled Programs for
Intellectually Gifted Students available in your child's school.
17
Linkage
As of September 1991, linkage or articulation agreements have been signed between Algonquin College
and the four area school boards in order to ease the transition from high school to college. The intent of
these agreements is to recognize student preparation for college. Students may earn advanced standing
at the college level for courses taken in high school, or they may be given consideration for admission to
specific programs at Algonquin.
To date, linkage agreements have been signed for the following programs at Algonquin:
1. 3 year Business Administration
2. Early Childhood Education
3. Graphic Technician -Printing
See your guidance counsellor for further details.
International Language Programs
International language programs are offered in selected Carleton Board schools. These programs may
include German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Latin, Hebrew, and Korean. Information about the nature
and location of these programs may be obtained from your school's guidance office.
18
Semestered Programs
With full -credit semestering, the school 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:
• A.Y. Jackson S.S. Senior Division only
• Bell H.S. Senior Division only
• Cairine Wilson S.S. Intermediate and Senior Divisions
• Gloucester H.S. Intermediate and Senior Divisions
• J.S. Woodsworth S.S. Intermediate and Senior Divisions
• West Carleton S.S. Intermediate and Senior Divisions
Vocational Program - Sir Guy Carleton S.S.
The primary purpose of the vocational program at Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School is to prepare
students for entry to the work force. At this 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. Academic and
technical courses are offered at the basic level and are combined with external programs which provide
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 at
723-5136.
Specialized Programs in Fine Arts
and Technological Studies
Specialized programs in Fine Arts and Technological Studies are offered at different schools.
Information about the nature and location of these programs may be obtained from your school's
guidance office.
19
STUDENT SERVICES IN CBE SCHOOLS
Guidance and Counselling Programs
Guidance and Counselling Programs in each secondary school serve students, parents and staff by
providing three different kinds of counselling and instruction: educational, career, and personal.
Educational Counselling and Instruction. This program helps students and their parents
decide on current and future secondary school programs and on post -secondary education
and training opportunities.
Career Counselling and Instruction. This program helps students with their career
exploration and decision-making. Counsellors encourage students to examine their
strengths and preferences and relate these to a wide range of occupations. Students use
the career and educational information in the guidance information centre and visit or
work in various occupations through job shadowing, work experience and Co-operative
Education.
Personal Counselling. This program helps students deal with their personal concerns
and their relationships with others.
Special Education Services
The Special Education Department within each school provides services for all students identified as
"exceptional" as defined by an Identification, Placement and Review Committee (IPRC). In addition,
it meets the needs of other students identified through an in -school process by making modifications to
their regular academic program. The Special Education Department in each school has access to the
Board's Special Services Department for additional support.
These services include social workers, psychologists, speech language pathologists, itinerant teachers
of the visually and hearing impaired, and an educational audiologist. For more information about the
Carleton Board's Special Education Services please consult the following pamphlets available in your
child's schools: Overview of Special Education - Part 1 (Programs and Services Assessment Procedures)
and Part 2 (Identification, Placement and Review Committee and Appeal Process).
20
Special Education Resource Unit
The Special Education Resource Unit (SERU) helps students who require more individualized support
than a regular class is able to provide. To discuss receiving SERU support, a parent, student or teacher
may contact the head of Special Education at the school at any time throughout the year. For more
information, please consult the Special Education fact sheet entitled Resource Units and Designated
Resource Units available in your school.
Special Education Composite Unit
The Composite Unit (CU) helps students whose learning needs require a higher level of intervention
than is possible through the Special Education Resource Unit. The program consists of many regular
classroom credits plus the added non-credit support time built into the student's timetable. Since the
learning disabilities which make academic learning difficult also make social learning difficult, the
program addresses both these areas. Admission to the CU is through the Identification, Placement and
Review Committee.
Structured Learning Unit
The Structured Learning Unit (SLU) helps students who require a high degree of structure and
supervision to be successful. The program consists of many regular classroom credits plus added non-
credit support time built into the student's timetable. A prime focus of the SLU is the development of
strategies to deal with successful work completion and to get along with others. Admission to the SLU
is through the Identification, Placement and Review Committee.
Library Services
Carleton Board school libraries have facilities for reading, studying, research and teaching. The
libraries contain leisure reading for students' personal reading interests and curriculum -oriented
materials for their research assignments. They also contain periodicals and audio-visual materials.
Through the Interlibrary Loan Network, the resources of all Carleton Board school libraries are
available to students. Several schools offer automated reference services and database searching.
Students may use the library before and after school, at noon, and during study periods.
The Library Program is designed so that all students develop both information -gathering skills and
skills for learning throughout life. Teacher -librarians plan research projects in co-operation with
subject teachers. Teachers who assign research projects bring their classes to the Library for one or more
periods of research. At this time, the Teacher -librarians introduce students to resources, teach required
library skills and assist students with their research. The reference service is available throughout
the day for students requiring assistance with independent study projects.
STUDENTS
Expectations of Students and Student Attendance
Regular attendance is essential to the learning process. When your learning is disrupted by irregular
attendance, both you and your class lose experiences which cannot be entirely replaced. Moreover, if
you habitually miss classes you suffer in the evaluation process because your participation and
achievement cannot be assessed. Attendance is, therefore, an essential component of every course. A
student who has been appropriately counselled and provided with support to promote regular
attendance, but who is still unwilling to attend classes regularly, will normally fail the course.
21
Student Contract Option Sheet
Students indicate the courses they wish to take during the coming academic year by completing a
Student Contract Option Sheet. On the basis of these sheets, school officials construct the master
timetable and staff the school. As these decisions are based on the information from student option
sheets, it is imperative that this information be accurate and complete. You and your parents must,
therefore, give careful thought to the course options you select, Opportunities to change option
selections are limited.
Student Evaluation
Evaluation is not an end in itself. It is part of the learning process for both the teacher and the student.
Its purpose is to assess a student's achievement in relation to the stated objectives of the course.
The procedures for evaluating student progress vary from course to course to meet the requirements of
different subjects, different levels of difficulty, and different learning environments. Teachers provide
students with specific, written evaluation procedures at the beginning of each course.
Board -wide Examinations
Each Board -wide examination is marked according to a uniform set of criteria which is applied in all
schools. Board -wide examinations are administered in the following subjects, at the grade levels and
times of year indicated below:
Mathematics
*Grade 10 Advanced End of course
*OAC Calculus End of course
English
*OAC I End of course (semestered), Jan. (non-semestered)
•Grade 12 General End of course (semestered), Jan. (non-semestered)
In Mathematics and English, all students taking the course write the same examination.
Science
,OAC Chemistry End of course (semestered), Jan. (non-semestered)
In OAC Chemistry, each school's examination is based on a Board -wide set of specifications.
Transportation of Students
The Carleton Board provides transportation for all secondary students who live 3.2 km (2.0 miles) or
more from the school that they are directed to attend. Public transit (OC Transpo) is used where
adequate service is available and cost effective. Students using OC Transpo must possess an OC Transpo
identification card before they can be issued a pass. Passes are issued through the schools.
All regular school bus routes are described in a detailed schedule circulated by the Board before the
start of school each year. Students on special routes are notified by their school bus carrier, prior to the
start of school, of their pick-up time and other details of the route.
22
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 student's
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:
• The student wishes to take a program which is not available at his or her designated
school and which is required for employment or entry into a post -secondary program of
study. (A program is defined as three or more sequential courses beginning at the Grade
10 level, or two sequential courses beginning at the Grade 11 level.)
• 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.
• The student has special needs relating to medical problems, identified educational needs,
or emotional hardship.
• The student is able to complete diploma requirements in one semester (two to four credits to
be completed).
If a student withdraws from the program or course for which the variance was granted, or if the
program is cancelled, the student must return to the designated school.
PARTNERS IN EDUCATION
The enthusiasm and inexperience of youth combined with the dedication and experience of the adult
meet in a true partnership of theory and its application in the successful Bell High School/Computing
Devices Canada Partners In Education program. It is a place where deadlines, budgets, teamwork,
course work, market fluctuations, manufacturing, research and development take on an intensity laden
with value, purpose, and commitment in a regional, national, and global setting. The friendships
developed and educational goals attained through this partnership are limitless for both school and
industry with guaranteed exponential growth in the years to come. The FUTURE makes a good
PRESENT.

Devices Canada, Bell High School's Partner in
Education. Placements that compliment the
student's in -school learning activities are
available in a variety of organizations within
our community. Students are given a hands-on
learning experience which provides them with
the opportunity to clarify career objectives,
develop employable skills, gain work experience
with modern systems, procedures and equipment
and develop communication skills in a work
environment. Students are placed in a career area
of their choice and a training plan is developed
by the teacher and work supervisor to ensure a
valuable experience.
Co-operative Education is open to all students in
grades 11, 12 and 13 at Bell High School.
Students must select CO-OP on their option sheet,
complete an application form, receive a teacher's
recommendation and successfully complete an
interview in order to be eligible for the program.
The application form will be submitted at the
same time as the option sheet.
Co-operative Education consists of two related
components, the in -school course (1 credit) and
the out-of-school work placement (2 credits).
Any senior level credit can be linked with a co-op
placement. The student should have completed
the in -school course during the previous semester
or be taking it concurrently with the placement.
The out-of-school co-operative education course
consists of two parts:
Part 1: Placement orientation classes for the
first two weeks of the semester and reflection
classes during the semester.
Part 2: Supervised learning activities at the
placement for three hours a day for
29
approximately fifteen weeks. The employer and
the school jointly develop, monitor and evaluate
the student's out-of-school training program and
progress. It is the intent of Co-operative
Education to assist students in making the
transition from school to career by becoming
familiar with the realities of the "world of
work". Students may be required to purchase
materials (work books, lab coats etc.) as required
at their co-op placement. They will also be

ESLZA ESF3A
English as a Second Language is primarily
designed to aid students, whose first language is
not English, in four critical areas of language
acquisition (understanding, speaking, reading and
writing). A standardized test (the
Comprehensive English Language Test) is used to
determine the appropriate ESL level. Students
are assigned to classes on the basis of these test
results. Under normal circumstances a beginner
would complete all five Second Language credits
before entering the mainstream English program
at Bell High School.
It should be noted that the purpose of the ESL
program is first and foremost the acquisition of
language.
