Students earn 4 credits/course for each of the following Grade 12 courses:

• Social Justice 12 (Sohal)

• Law 12 (Niemar)

• Human Kinetics 12 (Rosencrans)

• Independent Directed Studies 12 (Hundal) (in depth study of a particular issue or a career of interest to you in the justice field)

Students take all 4 courses in second semester to allow for more freedom to study, take field trips, and organize learning experiences without interfering with other coursework.

This is a cohort program, 30 students maximum per year.

A goal of the JSCP is to prepare students physically and

academically for study at the college, university, and

trade school levels with a view to possible careers in law,

law enforcement, community safety, and social justice

fields.

Upon completion of the program students will graduate

having received the North Delta Secondary Justice

Studies Certificate.

ND JUSTICE STUDIES….

Students can take Law 12 and Social Justice 12 without being in the Justice Studies Certificate Program

However, only students in the JSCP will be eligible to enroll in Human Kinetics 12 and IDS 12.

Goodbye grad trans….

HELLO CAREER LIFE CONNECTIONS & CAPSTONE PROJECT!!

For anyone who has not yet competed Planning 10, you will need to take Career Life Education next year (so get Planning 10 done asap!)

KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GT

& NEW CLC/CAPSTONE

• It is now a GRADED COURSE

• Mandatory Flex Time sessions with your CLC coordinator/advisor as required

• Individualized pull-out sessions with your coordinator/advisor specific to your Capstone project

• Your coordinator/advisor will no longer be your counsellor

CLC/Capstone is a required course for graduation under the new curriculum, just as Grad Trans is a required course currently.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW FOR 2018/2019??

• English 12: English Studies 12 (But is essentially the same course)

• English 11: Being replaced with 4 other Grade 11 level courses:

1. Spoken Language 11

2. Creative Writing 11

3. Lit Studies 11

4. Film/Media 11

**** Please note that all of these 4 options all have the same academic rigour (there is

no “easy” option)***

Grade 12 students can choose any 1 or more of the above Grade 11 English courses

as an elective option if they wish (these course will be offered based on

interest/only If enough register)

• Communications 11 is no longer being offered after this summer

SOCIAL STUDIES

• Socials 11 – no provincial exam at all any more

• Socials 11 : Now Socials 11 Explorations

* For next year, it’s still pretty much the same course

* In future years, students will get to select an interest area/module (ie. Philosophy, Politics, World Religions, etc.)

• Grad 2019: Socials 11, and anything beyond still optional

• Grad 2020: Any Senior Socials course (11 or 12 level) to Graduate

• However, Socials 11 will now be an admissions requirement for SFU specifically (Grads of 2020) (and likely other universities as well)

FINE & PERFORMING ARTS

New Course Offerings:

• Film & Production 11/12 (X block) (script writing, production)

• Dance Company

• Drawing & Painting (2D)
