INTRODUCTION

This booklet has been prepared to provide information

which will help you and your parents* understand the

school's educational program, and the requirements for

obtaining an Ontario Secondary School Diploma

(OSSD). Please read carefully.

It also outlines a variety of School Board and Ministry of

Education policies which govern everyone involved in

Ontario education.

If more assistance is required, feel free to consult with

your subject teachers and/or visit the Guidance Office.

TIMETABLE POLICY

1. Students in grades 9, 10 and 11 are required to

have a full timetable (8 courses).

2. Students in grade 12 can request a spare

depending on the number of credits required to

complete the diploma. In all cases, a student must

carry a minimum of 6 courses.

3. To request a spare in their timetable, students must

have at least 23 earned credits.

4. A student who drops a course in day school is not

eligible to take the same course at Night School or

eLearning. The Continuing Education Department

of the Board determines the specific criteria for

eligibility to apply for Continuing Education

courses.

5. Any student who is eligible to drop a course must

meet with his/her guidance counsellor to obtain a

“Change of Program” application. A decision will

be made in consultation with the student, the

appropriate Vice-Principal and parents.

6. “Full Disclosure” for students taking grade 11 or

12 courses is in effect. Students taking grade 12

courses will have up to the “Full Disclosure Date”

to drop a course without having the attempt appear

on their Ontario Student Transcript (OST).

EVALUATING AND REPORTING STUDENT

PROCESS

In September, students are informed of the evaluation

policy in each course. The following topics are

discussed: preparation for class, assignments, note-

taking, extra help and preparation for tests and exams.

Summative evaluations/exams are worth 30% of the

final mark.

Examinations are held in June for full year courses.

Exams for semester courses (Civics, Careers,

Advanced Functions and Calculus) are held in January

and June respectively.

Final marks are based on a combination of

examinations, summative evaluations, tests,

assignments and day-to-day classroom work. All these

areas are important.

REPORTS ARE DISTRIBUTED IN:

November - First formal report will be distributed before

Parent/Guardian conferences.

April - Second formal report. This mark is a cumulative

mark based on all work since September.

June - The final report is based on the year's work and

includes summative evaluations and January/June

examinations. Students who have applied to universities

and colleges should be aware that these final June marks

are sent to the universities and colleges and that, if there

is a significant drop in achievement, university and

college offers of admission may be rescinded.

*Where “parent” is found, it is inclusive of guardian,

caregiver and a significant adult.

PROGRAM

PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITY

It is the responsibility of students, in consultation with

their parents and school officials, to choose and continue

courses which will lead to the Ontario Secondary School

Diploma (OSSD) and post-secondary programs.

Students should maintain accurate and up-to-date records

of their cumulative credit totals each year. They should

check with the Guidance Office if uncertain of their

credit status.

Timetable changes are normally unnecessary provided

that a wise choice of program has been made. Programs

that require adjustment as a result of final marks and/or

summer school will be processed during the week before

the opening of school in September. Course changes and

transfers will not be processed without prior consultation

with parents if the student is under 18 years of age. No

timetable changes will be made after the first two weeks

of school.

interests of effective instruction, all students must

recognize that:

1) course selections are normally made in February for

the following school year;

are based on the February course selections, and a

course will be offered only if a sufficient number of

students request it;

SPECIAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

1. STUDENT SERVICES (GUIDANCE) AND

CAREER EDUCATION

Counsellors meet with Grade 9, 10, 11 and 12 students in

classes and individually to review program choices and

prerequisites. Throughout the year, counsellors are available

to students and parents to help students with academic or

personal concerns and to provide information about future

education and careers.

Students are encouraged to come to the Student Services

(Guidance) Office to make an appointment with a counsellor

to discuss any areas of concern. The office is located in Room

107. The Student Services (Guidance) Department has the

assistance of a support team, comprised of a social worker, a

school psychologist, a child and youth worker, a settlement

worker, a public health nurse and an attendance counsellor

who are called on when necessary to ensure the well-being of

each student.

Students and parents should also be aware that every student

has an Ontario Student Transcript (OST). This form is kept in

the Ontario Student Record (OSR) and contains the courses

he/she has successfully completed. It is the responsibility of

the student and parent to make certain that diploma

requirements are being met from year to year. According to

the Education Act, all students and the parents or guardians of

students under 18 years of age, have the right to examine the

OSR and receive a copy of its contents, if they so desire.

Scholarships

There are many student awards available at Harbord (see

page 24). Academic excellence continues to be one of the

priorities of the school community. Each year, many students

are recognized within the school by an ongoing program of

awards at all grade levels. Graduating students often receive

university entrance scholarships. Usually these are given for

outstanding academic achievement, but more universities are

also rewarding students who have been active in

extracurricular and community activities.

The school is very fortunate in having the Harbord Club (an

organization of former students and teachers) provide the

school with a great deal of scholarship money and support.

2. CONTINUING EDUCATION

A) Night School

Enrollment in a Continuing Education course offered by the

Toronto District School Board is governed by specific criteria

in accordance with Board Policy.

Permission will not be granted for attendance at a Continuing

Education program to students who decide to drop day school

courses at Harbord, who demonstrate unacceptable attendance

patterns at Harbord, or who do not complete the required

evaluation instruments for courses, including examinations.

B) Summer School

The Toronto District School Board offers new credit courses

as well as remedial summer school for students who have

failed a course completed during the school year with a mark

between 35-49%. Summer school courses are available as

either a day school or eLearning option. Information regarding

these courses is available in the Student Services (Guidance)

Office in April.

3. RESOURCE SUPPORT

The Resource program is designed to meet the individual

needs of those students from grades 9 to 12 who have an

I.E.P., many of whom have been identified as ‘exceptional’ by

an area or local Identification, Placement, Review Committee

(I.P.R.C.). Students in this program have educational plans

that are developed to meet their individual needs. The

program focuses on the use of the student’s own work as well

as curriculum materials in order to strengthen areas of

weakness. Students are assisted in developing effective

learning strategies as they apply them to their academic

pursuits. The Resource program also emphasizes the

development of language and numeracy skills in conjunction

with assistance in subject areas.

Students with an I.E.P. can earn a Learning Strategies credit

in the Resource program. Students with an I.E.P. who do not

require a scheduled period of assistance may choose to use the

Resource Room on a monitored basis. This is done outside of

class time.

Further information is available by calling the Resource

Department at (416) 393-1650, ext. 20138 or from the Student

Services (Guidance) counsellors.

4. LIBRARY LEARNING COMMONS (LLC) The HCI Library Learning Commons (LLC) is a warm,

welcoming space that encourages students to read, research,

collaborate and create. Flexible learning spaces allow the

LLC to accommodate a variety of group configurations,

according to individual, class and department needs.

The LLC resource collection reflects both personal and

academic interests. Additional unique learning

opportunities abound through special guests such as authors,

activists, storytellers and musicians. Library Council offers

further enrichment and leadership opportunities. Students in

the Library Council can earn community involvement hours.

The LLC comfortably seats 90 students and houses over

30,000 items, including an extensive fiction collection ranging

from classics and prize-winning Canadian and international

literature, to young adult fiction, manga and other graphic

works.

In addition to English language resources, there is a broad

range of French, Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish material.

As well as books (fiction and non-fiction), the library contains

many magazines, films, audio-books, e-books and

electronic resources. The HCI Virtual Library offers

extensive online resources, expanding our collection

exponentially. Passwords for our various databases are

available in student agendas and on bookmarks available at the

LLC.

Students are encouraged to make use of various technologies

in the library. There are 24 desktop computers, 42

Chromebooks, 6 Netbooks, 6 laptops and a Mobile Chrome

Cart available for school-related use. Audio-visual

equipment, such as a SMART board and data

projector, is also accessible for class presentations. In

addition, black and white and colour printers can be found

on the premises, as well as 20 café-style charging stations

available for all student devices.

ACCESS

The Harbord C.I. Library Learning Commons is open daily

from 8:30 am to 3:45 pm, including lunch, whenever

possible.

The library is a place for independent study, individual or

group research and classroom instruction.

5. PROGRAM SUPPORT

A) Tutoring Centre – The Tutoring Centre is open Tuesdays

and Thursdays after school in Room 125. Teachers and

senior students, who earn community involvement hours,

are available to assist students in a wide variety of

subjects. Students are encouraged to use the centre not

only for tutoring, but also as a supervised study

opportunity.

B) Tutorial Services - Students requiring additional help

should speak to their guidance counsellor.

ENGLISH

English courses at Harbord C.I. are designed to help students gain increasing competence

in thinking, writing, reading, speaking and listening, to appreciate a wide range of

literature both contemporary and from the past, and to develop critical thinking skills in

response to the media.

Students are encouraged to read broadly in the personal reading program and to practice

many types of writing. In all English courses, students are expected to proofread and

revise their written work and to develop an increasing sensitivity to style. Apart from

writing folder activities, tests and exams, evaluation is also based on group work, oral

CORE FRENCH AND INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGES

Harbord Collegiate has been designated an International Languages School in the Toronto District

School Board and the French and International Languages Department firmly believes, as does the

Ministry of Education, that good communication skills are necessary for success in life. All students

are encouraged to investigate studying a third language in high school as a way to develop their

communication skills.

To help develop these skills, courses are offered in Portuguese and Spanish in addition to French.

Learning another language develops logical thinking skills and clarity of expression. It also

introduces students to a dynamic new way of seeing the world through the study of other cultures,

resulting in a growth of tolerance and understanding of others. In Canada, a bilingual country,

employment opportunities and promotions are enhanced by knowledge of both English and French.

With developing world trade patterns, knowledge of other languages, particularly French, Spanish

and Portuguese, opens up many employment and business opportunities.

Portuguese is unique to Harbord. The Spanish program is equally dynamic and exciting. The study

of a second/third language has shown to be a benefit to students as they hone and improve their skills

in their first language, as well as a benefit in all aspects of their personal and professional lives.

As beginner International Language classes are open to students in both Grades 9 and 10, it is

possible to obtain a Grade 12 credit one year early.

GUIDANCE - CAREER EDUCATION

Career Education (GLC2O1/4/5/8)

Career Education is a compulsory half-credit course for grade 10 students (the other half-credit is

Civics). This course teaches students how to develop and achieve personal goals in education and

work, and contribute to their communities. The course explores post-secondary learning options,

prepares students for community-based learning, and helps them build the capabilities needed for

managing work and life transitions.

CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION

Co-operative Education (CO-OP)

Co-operative Education is a program that brings together classroom theory with practical

experience in the workplace. The program is based on a partnership between the school and

business/industry/non-profit and social sectors, and involves the participation of students, teachers

and employers. It allows students to gain practical experience that will help them in their decision-

making process regarding their future educational and career choices. Students undertake a full year

in a Co-operative Education placement. They divide their time between school and the employer,

usually spending one half of every other day at a placement. Students taking Co-op will not miss

time in other subjects when they are at their placements.

Co-op students earn two senior-level credits towards their graduation diploma in a subject area

that is related to their placement with an employer. Co-op students are required to complete

workplace and school assignments as part of their responsibilities in the program. Co-op is offered in

all subject areas, providing that suitable placements can be found.

Students interested in taking Co-operative Education should give careful thought to the planning

of their third and fourth years of study. Students need to consider their time commitment to Co-op

and their overall workload, in order to balance Co-op with the demands of their other senior courses.

Students must go through an application and interview process and show that their level of maturity,

independence and attendance/punctuality history is at an acceptable level, in order to be accepted for

a Co-op placement. See page 27 for more information on the application process.

HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The Health and Physical Education programs at Harbord C.I. are designed as an inclusive,

challenging way of exploring and experiencing a wide variety of physical activities and health

topics.

The Grade 9 and 10 Healthy Active Living Education courses lay a strong foundation of personal

fitness, physical literacy, skill development, and healthy personal and psychological

development.

The Grade 11 and 12 Healthy Active Living Education courses build on the foundations laid in

grades 9 and 10, however depending on the particular stream different physical activities and

health topics are addressed. These courses place special emphasis on how students can maintain

the habits of healthy, active living throughout their lives as they make the transition to adulthood

and independent living.

The Introductory Kinesiology (PSK4U) course focuses on the study of human movement and of

systems, factors, and principles involved in human development. Students will learn about the

effects of physical activity on health and performance.

The Recreation and Healthy Active Living Leadership (PLF4M) course enables students to

explore the benefits of lifelong participation in active recreation and healthy leisure and to

develop the leadership and coordinating skills needed to plan, organize, and safely implement

recreational events and other activities related to healthy, active living.

Students can take two Health and Physical Education courses concurrently.

MUSIC

Harbord’s music courses have been designed to foster the love and enjoyment of music

through performance, listening and composition.

The performance segment provides an opportunity for musical expression either vocal or

instrumental. By physically involving themselves in the production of music, students achieve an

immediate emotional response to a given work of musical art. Opportunities are provided in

classes for solo, chamber and large ensembles and everyone is encouraged to take an active part

in the extracurricular program in which many public performances are scheduled both in and

away from the school.

Grade 9 (Year 1) Band (AMI1O1)

This beginning course (AMI1O1) requires no previous musical experience. AMI1O3 requires

previous experience. Students learn basic playing and reading skills culminating in band

performances at the spring concert.

Grade 9 (Year 1) Strings (AMS1O1)

This beginning course requires no previous musical experience, except AMS1O3.

Students learn basic playing and reading skills culminating in band performances at the spring concert.

***It is possible to skip one year if a student demonstrates a high degree of proficiency.

RESOURCE DEPARTMENT The Resource Department at Harbord Collegiate Institute provides support for students with IEPs by offering

Learning Strategies (GLE) at every secondary grade level. The grade 9 and 10 courses emphasize strategies for

success in high school, while the 11 and 12 courses focus on strategies for success after high school. GLE is open-

level and can be taken all four years. However, students must have an IEP in order to take it.

SCIENCE

The Harbord Science Department offers a rich program supporting scientific literacy for all. Students are

encouraged to choose a learning path which best accommodates their skills and interests.

All our courses focus on three main goals, as stated in the Ontario Curriculum:

1. to relate science to technology, society, and the environment

2. to develop the skills, strategies, and habits of mind required for scientific inquiry

3. to understand the basic concepts of science

In Grades 9 and 10, students study four disciplines of science: earth and space science, biology, chemistry,

and physics. These disciplines can be studied further and more in depth in Grade 11 and 12. Diverse

instructional approaches are used to construct meaningful learning experiences for all students. It is the

goal of the department to instill in students a sense of wonder about the natural and physical world around

them.

SOCIAL AND GLOBAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT

HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES COURSES

The department offers a wide variety of courses for the students to choose from.

The skills and values that students develop by taking courses offered by the History,

Geography, Social Sciences and Humanities section of the Social and Global Studies

Department will prepare them for the future by making them critical thinkers and

responsible citizens.

Civics is a compulsory half-credit for grade 10 students. In this course, students will

explore what it means to be a “responsible citizen” in the provincial, national and global

context. The year two compulsory Canadian History since World War I course

explores the development of the Canadian identity, Canada’s development as a nation,

and Canada’s involvement in global events. Through debates, role playing, report

writing, oral presentations, simulations and a variety of assignments, students will

develop skills in conducting research, organizing ideas, communicating and thinking

critically.

Evaluation in all courses is ongoing throughout the year and is based on homework, a

variety of individual assignments, group work, research projects, tests, and examinations.

Students are expected to come to class prepared with the necessary equipment and all

assigned work completed.
