They will determine your possible graduation path and post-secondary options. There are many options available to you. The courses you choose should be based on careful consideration. Use your course choices as not only a graduation plan but also a future career path. Think about the answers to the following questions: 1. Where do you see yourself after graduation – University, College, Technical School or work? 2. What are your passions and interests? Those answers could lead to programming options. No matter what you choose, keep the following points in mind: Consider your options carefully Ask questions Be realistic in your expectations Choose wisely The Counselling Department and the Career Center staff are available to offer clarification and advice.

As students’ progress through A.D.S.S. they will have increasing opportunities to customize their educational program to meet these goals. It is extremely important, then, that students select courses that are not only interesting and challenging, but also relevant to post-secondary aspirations. Successful course planning requires that students observe the following three points: First, be knowledgeable of applicable graduation requirements. Second, be aware of the difference between general graduation requirements and specific post-secondary admission expectations. In addition to courses required for graduation, entrance to most post-secondary institutions will require specific coursework and a minimum grade point average during a student’s final years of high school. Consult your counsellor for specific information on the post-secondary institutions of your choice. Third, be aware of course prerequisites and/or recommended marks in prior or related courses. Long-term planning helps avoid the situation of not having appropriate prerequisites. COUNSELLING SERVICES Counselling services are available to students either through the Career Centre or the Counselling Office. The Career Centre provides guidance and information on the apprenticeship programs, careers, work experience, volunteer work and support for the grad transitions plan. The Counselling Office offers many services for students. The secretary can provide transcripts, scholarship information, textbooks and will assist students in making appointments. Counsellors are available for personal counseling. They are also available for programming, academic advice or post- secondary institutions information, academic tracking and progress reports. Counsellors will also provide graduation checks and scholarship information. COUNSELLING CENTRE Phone (250) 724-3284 Ms. C. Graydon Ext: 2409 [email protected] Mr. J. McDonald Ext. 2408 [email protected] Mr. R. Ostwald Ext. 2410 [email protected] PROMOTIONAL PROCEDURE Students are promoted on a course-by-course basis. This means that prerequisite courses must be completed prior to a student advancing to the next level in that subject. Exceptions will be made only in situations where an Individual Education Plan (IEP) exists. CAREER CENTRE Phone (250) 723-1191 Mr. G. Freethy [email protected] Page 1 POST-SECONDARY PLANNING Every student will have a post-secondary (Graduation Transition) plan. Whether it is further education at university, college or technical school, or direct entry into the workforce, each graduate should be able to link his or her final high school years to unique post-secondary aspirations. There are many different post-secondary institutions to choose from. Differences between universities, university-colleges, colleges, and institutes are not as distinct as they once were; this has allowed a large increase in degree-granting programs at various schools other than universities. Students are encouraged to check out a range of options before settling on one or two post-secondary destinations. The following website is very useful for researching post-secondary education, including information on programs, courses, entrance requirements, costs, as well as other relevant facts and material. www.educationplanner.ca (use the search box in the top right corner of the page) Just as there are many different post-secondary institutions, so too are there many different entrance requirements. Entrance requirements have changed in recent years, students should refer to each institution’s calendar for specific entrance requirements. Students also need to ensure that they meet any entrance requirements unique to a particular faculty, department or program. In addition, students interested in studying in either the USA or abroad should consult specific calendars for special entrance requirements and/or restrictions on foreign students. In recent years, there has been increased interest in athletic scholarships to American universities or colleges, both of which require students to attain a minimum score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Information on the SAT is available from your counsellor or the College Board website. Although much of the emphasis in this booklet is on post-secondary institutions within BC there are many universities, colleges, institutes and technical schools across the country that provide post-secondary programs. Page 2 CAREER EDUCATION PROGRAMS TRADES & APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS: Students interested in learning a trade (examples: welding, culinary, automotive, hairdressing, electrical, plumbing, etc.) can begin their training while they are still in high school through our SSA and/or ACE-IT programs. There is a high demand for workers in the trades industry and these jobs are traditionally some of the best paid positions on work sites. ACE-IT (Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training) What is ACE-IT? ACE-IT programs are offered as a partnership between School District 70 and post-secondary institutions.
