Community Based Education

Co-operative Education ProgramCo-operative Education is a credit granting, planned learning experience that integrates classroom theory with practical experience in the workplace. The placement is directly related to the subject to which it is linked and enables the student to apply and refine the knowledge and skills acquired in a related curriculum course. Students earn credits when course expectations are met. Co-operative Education courses can be linked to any Grade 11 or 12 course that the student has already passed or will be taking concurrently with Co-op. Who is ready for Co-op? Students who have the educational background, demonstrate responsibility, motivation, commitment, and the willingness to learn in an adult workplace environment will be considered for entry into the program. Work placements are dependent upon the skills, strengths, academic backgrounds, attitudes, and work ethics of individual students. Possibilities include, but are not limited to:

Communications Technology (Computer Graphics/Programming/Technician, Web Design, Animation) Business (Accounting, Law, Human Resources, Entrepreneurship, Marketing) Social Sciences (Teaching, Social Work, Recreational Services, Nutritionist) Science (Medicine, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Nursing, Veterinarian, Dentistry) Media Arts (Journalism, Fashion Design, Television/Radio Productions)

Alternate Education

The Alternative Education Program is designed for students who are committed to academic study and developing workplace skills, and are not achieving maximum success in the traditional high school learning environment. The program combines in-school courses with the academic and experiential requirements of workplace learning in order that both junior and senior secondary credits may be earned for graduation purposes. Students are referred to the Alternative Education Program by Administrators and/or Guidance Counsellors. A structured interview with students and/or parents will be held to discuss suitability, student needs, and program options.

Library Information CentreThe School Library Information Centre is focused on helping students with their studies in all subject areas as well as fostering the joy of reading. The overall goal of the Library Information Centre is to help students develop strong research skills that they will need for academic achievement in the 21st Century and to become life-long learners. Classes visit the library for resource-based learning, created and facilitated by the classroom teacher and teacher-librarians.

Films such as Titanic, Schindler’s List and Hotel Rwanda have dramatically increased the profile of history in popular culture in the last 15 years. However, to what extent is history accurately reflected and portrayed in Hollywood films? And how do our current beliefs shape the way that history is portrayed in film?

This course requires students to actively examine the dynamic relationship between history and film. Student learning will focus on social, political, and military themes in the twentieth century. Students will assess the historical context of the film and the film-making process, defend their own point of view on given films, and most importantly explain the advantages and disadvantages of using film to convey history. As well, they will be given opportunities to use a variety of research models, develop informed opinions, and present information in a variety of ways. No pre-requisite is required.
