We are so excited that you will be joining us at one of our awesome Catholic high schools in September! There will be lots of people who will help you along the way. Link Crew is a group of people who will definitely be a positive part of your Grade 9 experience.

This group of senior students will act as mentors for Grade 9 students throughout the entire year. There will be an initial orientation that is organized by the Link Crew of your high school. On this day, you will meet lots of other Grade 9 students, as well as many senior students.

The day promises to be a fun-filled, energy boosting opportunity to get to know others, and become more comfortable with beginning Grade 9. Be sure to attend the orientation day at your high school. It will take place during the last week of summer, so stay tuned for more information!

In addition to meeting the entire Link Crew in the Fall, you will also be introduced to your individual Link Crew leaders. These two or three senior students will be responsible for meeting with a small group of Grade 9 students regularly throughout the school year. They will help to answer many of your questions, and point you in the right direction if you need additional support. Your group of ten or twelve Grade 9 students will form a “family” with your Link leaders, and this group will share their Grade 9 experience together.

Again, a warm welcome to our Wellington Catholic High School family! We can’t wait to share your journey with you!

Warmest regards,Your Link Crew Coordinator

Some of the things you can do at your new High School:

• Sports• Student Council• Arts Council• Athletic Council• Social Justice• Band• Choir• Drama Productions• Intramurals• Dances• Clubs• Retreats

Welcome Grads of 2020!

Who can I go to if I

need help?

How will I know when the

first meetings for clubs or

tryouts for sports teams

will be?

What are teachers like?

Where do I eat my lunch?

When do we start wearingour uniforms?

What if I get lost the first day; what will I do?

Always begin by talking to your teacher. He/she will be able to provide you with the help you need to get on track. There are also many other people who can help. For example, there are Guidance Counsellors, Chaplains, Student Success Teachers (SSTs), Special Education Resource Teachers (SERTs), Secretaries, Educational Assistants (EAs), Social Workers and your Link Crew leaders.

Listen to the announcements each morning. If you miss something, they are always posted on a bulletin board or an electronic bulletin board. Ask your teacher if you are unsure where to find this information.

High School teachers are just like

your elementary school teachers.

They care about young people, and

they want to get to know you. Make

sure you try to get to know them

too!

The cafeteria is available for students to eat their lunch from

home or to buy lunch. Some students may prefer to eat in other

designated areas or a smaller,

quieter space. An adult will be

there to help you.

Students need to wear their uniform

on the first day of school until the

last day of school in June. You do

not have to wear it for exam or

civies days.

There will be many people who will be helping you your first few days of high school. Your Link Crew leaders will tell you all about this at orientation.

What do you need to graduate?

The Ontario Secondary School Certificate (OSSC)

The Ontario Secondary School Certificate (OSSC) will be granted, on request, to students who are leaving secondary school upon reaching the age of eighteen without having met the requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. To be granted an OSSC, a student must have earned a minimum of 14 credits, distributed as follows:

7 required compulsory credits

• 2 credits in English• 1 credit in Mathematics• 1 credit in Science• 1 credit in Canadian History or Canadian Geography• 1 credit in Health and Physical Education• 1 credit in the Arts, Computer Studies, or Technological Education

7 required optional courses

• 7 credits selected by the student from available courses

The provisions for making substitutions for com-pulsory credits described for the diploma also apply to the Ontario Secondary School Certificate.

The Certificate of Accomplishment

Students who are leaving secondary school upon reaching the age of eighteen without having met the requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma or the Ontario Secondary School Certificate may be granted a Certificate of Accom-plishment. The Certificate of Accomplishment may be a useful means of recognizing achievement for students who plan to take certain kinds of further training, or who plan to find employment directly after leaving school. The Certificate of Accom-plishment is to be accompanied by the student’s Ontario Student Transcript. For students who have an Individual Education Plan (IEP), a copy of the IEP may be included.

Students who return to school to complete addi-tional credit and non-credit courses (including courses with modified or alternative expecta-tions in special education programs) will have their transcript updated accordingly but will not be issued a new Certificate of Accomplishment. The Ontario Secondary school Certificate will be granted when the returning student has fulfilled the appropriate requirements.
