Mapping out my last 2 years of High School

1. Graduation credits to be completed ……..2. Interest or skill-based courses I want to take…..3. Pathway preparation courses I will need……4. Co-op or Specialized Courses that will help me

decide and prepare


Now that you are a Senior!!• Students are required to select courses according to

their anticipated pathway to the world of work.• Most students have three compulsory subjects

remaining: Math, Religion & English, which leaves 5 options

• Grade 11 students will take 8 courses, no study periods (spares)

• Full Disclosure-All Grade 11 and 12 marks count• Course selection in February is important. Future

changes will be difficult, and, in some cases, impossible!
