Introduction to CLC
Collège Lorette Collegiate has a proud heritage within the community of Lorette. The
school boasts a dual track setting offering a French Immersion Program, and an English Program. As well as offering an academic program, in both official languages, Collège Lorette
Collegiate offers an Apprenticeship Program, in the indentured trades, to students that are
interested in technical vocational education.
Our school population is drawn from the communities in Lorette, Ile Des Chênes, and Ste.
Anne in south-eastern Manitoba. Students attend Collège Lorette Collegiate primarily
from our partner schools within the Seine River School Division. These schools are Dawson
Trail Elementary School, École Lorette Immersion, École Ste. Anne Immersion, and École
Iles Des Chênes School.
Collège Lorette Collegiate operates as a regular high school where students may take
courses that lead to attaining a high school diploma upon graduation. Students learn in a
variety of ways, and in order to accommodate this, teachers will support student learning
in various ways. Students may take courses in a traditional manner, inside and outside of
the regular classroom, within industry, or with other accommodations if required. Students are supported in a learning environment that is stimulating, challenging, and progressive.
Collège Lorette Collegiate has a wide range of extra-curricular and co-curricular activities to
offer. These activities take place after school, on
weekends, and during the noon hour. We offer a
very successful basketball program and hockey
programs for boys and girls. Many other teams,
and activities are offered, including a Tech Club,
Writer’s
Club,
Newsletter Committee,
Yearbook
Committee, and a Student Leadership Program,
to name a few.
Above all, we, at Collège Lorette Collegiate pride
ourselves on the fact that we care about our students and their success. Collège Lorette Collegiate welcomes you to our school, and invites
you to succeed in a caring, safe environment.

High School Credit System
Semester and Annual System
Collège Lorette Collegiate operates on a combined semester and annual system. This
type of system provides for greater flexibility for individualized student programs and
timetables.
The school year is divided into two equal blocks of time. The first block runs
from September to January, and the second block from February to June. Those courses
that are in a semester will be taught in either block of time, and are completed at the end
of the particular semester.
Annual courses will be taught all year long. Students in Grade 9 will take most of their compulsory courses in the annual system, which occur in the morning from September to June.
Grade 9 elective courses occur in the afternoon and are on the semester system. The semester system courses occur from September to February, and February to June.
Back to General Information
Credit System and Diplomas
Manitoba Education requires that students accumulate a minimum of thirty (30) credits for
graduation from high school (Grade 9 t0 12), provided that all mandatory courses have
been successfully completed. In order for a student to achieve a credit in a course, the student must obtain a minimum of 50% in that course.
A student who has successfully completed the minimum number of credits will graduate
from Collège Lorette Collegiate with an Academic Diploma, granted by the Seine River
School Division. The graduating student will also receive a graduation diploma from the
Province of Manitoba.
To graduate with a French Immersion Diploma, students require 30 credits (as in the regular English Program). However, 21 of these credits must be in French.
To graduate with a Technology Diploma (Apprenticeship Program), students require 30
credits (as in the regular English Program). However, a maximum of 8 credits can be awarded from the Apprenticeship Program.
For more detailed information, please consult the Manitoba Education website :
www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/policy/grad_require.html

CLC School Information
Grade 9 Transition Program
All students entering Collège Lorette Collegiate at the Grade 9
level will benefit from a transitional system whereby students
follow an annual system in the mornings and a semester system in the afternoons. It has been found that this type of system helps to ease the transition into the high school setting
and provides for a structure that enhances academic success.
Assessment, Evaluation, and Reporting
Students are evaluated on a per course basis, and they will receive a numerical mark for
each course that he or she is enrolled in. Student evaluation at Collège Lorette Collegiate
takes place through the use of a variety of assessment tools. Students will be required to
complete term assignments, authentic assessments, portfolios, projects, formal tests,
school-based examinations, and provincial Grade 12 examinations.
School-based examinations are set and designed by individual classroom teachers and make
up part of the summative assessment. These examinations will take place at the end of
each semester for all students. Provincial examinations are set by Manitoba Education and
are administered to Grade 12 students. All student’s marks are reported in a percentage format.
Parents shall receive four formal reports per year. In Semester 1, a mid-term report will be
sent out in November; the final report will go out at the end of January at the completion of
Back to General Information
Semester 1. In semester 2, the mid-term report will be sent in April and the final report at
the end of June.
In addition to formal reports, progress reports containing student progress to date, current
assignments and an attendance summary will be sent home, either via the mail or by students, at the end of each month. Should parents have some concerns in regard to a student’s progress, the options of calling the school, contacting the teacher via email, or setting up an appointment always exists.
Parent-teacher interviews are scheduled twice per year. Each session is scheduled before
the mid-term of each semester. A registration letter will sent out via the mail to sign up for
appointments with teachers. Once all appointments are set up, an appointment sheet will
be sent home with the student.
If parents are unable to attend we encourage them to make an appointment to meet with
the teachers at another time outside of class hours.
Honour Roll
In order for students to achieve Honour Roll status, the following conditions must be met:
 Honours -80% average in the term, with no one mark
less than 70%.
 Distinction –90% average in the term, with no one mark
less than 70%.
Insurance
A student who is injured is asked to report the injury immediately to the classroom or supervising teacher on duty. This will ensure that first-aid can be administered if necessary and
that accident reports will be filled out for insurance purposes. Please ensure that you are
fully covered, either through your family insurance or by taking our Board recommended
Accident Insurance. Although optional, student accident insurance is recommended for
those students involved in inter-scholastic sports.
School Pictures
Individual student pictures will usually be taken in September. The date will be published
early in September and will be posted on the school website.
School Closure Due to Inclement Weather
In case of severe weather conditions, school bus transportation may not operate. In such
circumstances the school will be closed.
Announcements to this effect will be broadcast on CJOB, CBC and CKY starting at 7:00 a.m.

Back to General Information
Absenteeism Procedures
Attendance for Grade 9 to 12 students is based on course attendance. Attendance will be
taken for every class by the course teacher, and submitted to the office by 3:00 p.m. daily.
An automated-dialer will contact the student’s residence on a daily basis informing of the
student’s absence.
The attendance policy is based on total absences from a course. At a point determined by
the teacher, in consultation with the vice principal, and having previously consulted with
the student, and his/her parents, the credit for that course may be suspended. If the student's attendance is unsatisfactory, it is expected that, in addition to the regular reports
occurring at mid-term and term end, parents must be notified by the classroom teacher, prior to involving the principal or designate.
Once the credit has been suspended, the student must meet certain criteria set up by the
teacher, principal or designate, with input from the parents, to regain the credit. One of the
criteria that will be common to all cases\courses will be regular attendance in the remainder
of the classes. Due to the individuality of the courses being taught, the point at which a
credit may be suspended will be determined by the teacher, again in consultation with the
vice principal.
PROCEDURAL STEPS OF THE ATTENDANCE POLICY
Step 1
Attendance will be taken for each course each period, sent to the office by 3:00 p.m. daily,
and be entered in the school's records. A call back system will be in place to notify parents
daily if the student is absent.
Step 2
Teachers will monitor students, as always, consulting with students if attendance problems
become evident. It is also expected that teachers will notify parents if problems become
evident.
Step 3
Based on documentation, approaches, and actions taken to date by the teacher to cause a
change, the teacher will recommend to the principal or designate the suspension of credit.
Step 4
After consultation with the principal or designate, the teacher will give notification to the
student that the credit has been suspended. At that point, the principal or designate will
set up a meeting with the parents, student, and teacher to establish the criteria for the
credit to be regained. When the criteria and school expectations are fulfilled, the credit will
be reinstated

Nutrition
Philosophy Statement
CLC recognizes its responsibility in cooperation with the home and community to encourage healthy lifestyles for our students. We recognize and acknowledge the important role
nutrition plays in the development and performance of the individual.
Canada’s Food Guide for Healthy Living was chosen as the basis for our school policy. We
will strive to:
Provide students with an education for lifelong good habits regarding food choices;
Provide students and staff with access to nutritious food during the school day;
Provide students with positive role models;
Provide multiple opportunities through various curriculum, to develop healthy lifestyle
choices;
Ensure our food services (canteen and vending machines) conform with healthy food choices as outlined in Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating.
Ensure our food services (canteen) practice proper food handling and food security protocols.
Provide a safe eating environment that include appropriate supervision, adequate time and
space to eat meals;
Provide information and strategies for supporting students and staff with food related
chronic diseases (URIS training, info sessions, etc.).
Textbooks
All textbooks are to be issued and kept track of by teachers. Teachers are to report any
missing textbooks to the office where a list is maintained, and bills will be issued for the
missing textbooks.
Once the textbook is returned, or the outstanding bill is paid, the student’s name will be removed from the master list. If the book is not returned, or the bill is NOT paid, then the outstanding balance will be added to the student graduation fees.
Tobacco Usage
As per the Seine River School Division Policy, there is to be no smoking of, or chewing of,
tobacco, on SRSD property for all students and staff.
Appropriate Dress
Students are required to dress in a manner appropriate for school. There are to be no obscene or suggestive sayings or pictures on clothing, no drug paraphernalia (pictures or other), and no racist comments or pictures.
If a student should wear an article that is inappropriate, the student will be required to
change. If no other clothing is available at school the student must go home to change.

From Grade 9 to Grade 12, students earn course credits toward high school graduation. To
obtain a Manitoba high school diploma, students must accumulate the required number of
credits from a combination of compulsory and optional courses.
A compulsory course is a course for which students must receive credit (ex: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Physical Education/Health Education, etc.).
An optional course (sometimes called an elective) is a course that students may choose
based on their interests, abilities, values and career goals (ex: arts, languages, technology,
etc.). Some courses are full credit; others are half credit. Students and parents are encouraged to discuss credit requirements with their school counsellors and teachers.
Manitoba Education requires that students accumulate a minimum of thirty (30) credits for
graduation from the Senior Years (Grades 9 to 12). All students in Manitoba must have a
basic minimum academic subject component (compulsory courses), and these subjects
must be successfully completed for graduation. As well as successful completion of these
compulsory courses, students must successfully complete a minimum number of optional
courses to attain the 30 credits for graduation. Detailed information can be found on the

Distance Learning Courses
Students may take compulsory or optional courses in either
print, or on-line format, including approved courses delivered
from outside the province. For more information, please refer
to Distance Learning link at the Manitoba Education website.
School-Initiated Courses (S.I.C.'s) /Student-Initiated Projects (S.I.P.’s)
School-Initiated Courses (S.I.C.’s) are curricula that have been
developed by school divisions or schools to meet local needs and interests.
For the Student-Initiated Projects (S.I.P.’s), the process is different whereby a student is required to make the application following certain guidelines, criteria and regulations. Teachers are responsible for reviewing, approving and supervising S.I.P.’s.
Community Service
Students may earn one Community Service credit (in the form of a S.I.P.) within the 30 credits for graduation. Credit for community service activities will be given not simply for participation in an activity, or for the amount of time spent in an activity, but for the achievement
of an educational purpose.
Special Language Credit Option
Provides for the recognition of Manitoba’s linguistic diversity. Students proficient in languages other than English or French are eligible. Only one special language credit may be
earned at each of the Senior Years. For further information please refer to the Manitoba
Education website.
The Private Music Option
Open to students who have successfully obtained standing in the Conservatory Canada Programs or Royal Conservatory of Toronto starting at the grade level for instrument or voice.
One credit may be earned at each of the Seniors Years.
Substitution of Credits
The Principal may substitute a maximum of two compulsory credits within Grade 9 to Grade 12 where there is a
strong case for doing so. For example, Grade 10 Art or a
School-Initiated Course (S.I.C.) could be substituted for
Grade 10 Science.
Back to General Information

Special Programs
High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP)
Seamless transition from school to work and authentic learning opportunities are just a
few of the many advantages our students can access through the High School Apprenticeship Program (HASP) . The HSAP integrates senior years courses
with on-the-job Apprenticeship training. It is open to high school
students who meet the required age and educational requirements. In the HSAP students can earn up to eight credits and
must be paid at least 10% above minimum wage. We provide for
over 40 trade specific learning options
by qualified experts often using state
of the art equipment and technology.
Collège Lorette Collegiate has arranged the timetable to allow for compulsory courses to be completed in half a day and working at a
work-site the other half day.
For more information about the HSAP, please contact Mr. Graham Collier at the school, or
by email at [email protected].
