GENERAL INFORMATION
This Course Planning Guide is intended to help
students select courses and programs appropriate
to their personal, career or post-secondary goals.
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.

PROMOTIONAL PROCEDURE

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.

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.

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. The main goal of ACE-IT is to allow students to begin their technical training, as a part
of their secondary school education program. ACE-IT students are registered with the Industry
Training Authority (ITA) as an apprentice, attend a full-time trades program and are sponsored by
the School District. As part of this agreement – School District 70 (Alberni) will pay the student’s
tuition. As well, students will earn credits at both ADSS and the post-secondary institution (Dual
Credits).
Although it takes place during their grade 12 year, students should begin discussions about this
program with Career Centre staff as early as Grade 10.
SSA (Secondary School Apprenticeship)
What is SSA?
Secondary School Apprenticeship (SSA) is an educational program jointly supported by the Ministry
of Education and the Industry Training Authority (ITA). The main goal of SSA is to allow students to
begin apprenticeship training as part of their secondary school education program. SSA typically
involves a student working in their chosen trade, in a paid position, most often outside of the regular
school day (evenings, weekends, holidays, etc.). School District 70 allows for students to begin their
SSA training in Grades 10,11 or 12. Students can begin discussions with Career Centre staff as
early as Grade 9 for SSA opportunities.
WORK EXPERIENCE COURSES (12A & 2B)
The primary goal of work experience is to help students prepare for the transition from secondary
school to the world of work. Students will have the opportunity to observe and practice
employability skills required in the workplace as well as technical and applied skills relating to
specific occupations or industries. This experience is a 100 hour plus placement and it is a Grade
12 elective course. School District 70 allows for students to begin their Work Experience Course in
Grades 10, 11 or 12. Students can begin discussions with Career Centre staff as early as Grade 9.
