Carihi Secondary School is committed to providing a safe, respectful and challenging learning
environment in which diversity is celebrated and individuals are encouraged to maximize their
potential and become positive contributors to the social, cultural and economic fabric of society.
Welcome to Carihi Secondary School!
As a new or returning student to Carihi, you have many
opportunities ahead of you on your path to graduation. We are
very proud of our school and the choices that are available to
students. There is an opportunity for every student at Carihi
to excel in an area that they are passionate about or interested
in. We have a committed staff that provides a wide array of
academic and extra-curricular programs and as such, I encourage
you to explore all of the different and unique programs Carihi
has to offer.
My year so far at Carihi has taught me that there are so many
opportunities available to students here at the school. My years
in education have taught me that the more you involve yourself
in school, the more you are going to get from the experience.
The process you are currently engaged in – course selection
– is very important. Please take the time to carefully read the
course booklet, gather information, and select courses that
are appropriate to your interests and abilities. Staff such as
counsellors and administrators are available to assist you through
this process. Please ask questions and make informed choices.
Carihi is a fantastic school filled with wonderful students and
staff. We look forward to working with you in the 2013-14
school year and helping you achieve your academic goals as
you prepare for the next phase of your life.
Have an enjoyable and memorable year!
Mr. Sean Toal
Principal

Carihi is the place where students can discover what they are
passionate about and pursue those passions to the max!
It is very important that you obtain as much information as
possible in selecting your courses. Please take advantage of
this Registration Guide, and make use of the counsellors in our
school. Program planning is critical to ensure you have the
courses needed for high school graduation and to qualify for
admission to post-secondary programs.
My hope is that each of you will have a positive, productive,
and academically successful year that will lead you closer to
fulfilling your future personal and professional goals. Have a
great year!

Please note: All students are encouraged to make the most of their years at secondary school by achieving their best in
a slate of courses that will give them the best chance to persue a vibrant and fulfilling post-secondary path. This is often
done by taking much more than 80 credits, exploring possible future endeavours well in advance of graduation and
enrolling in classes that keep those options available to them.
Promotion Policy
Previous to grade 10, students were not retained in the event that they did not demonstrate a successful standard
of learning in the course. This policy ends at secondary school. At Carihi, students are expected to demonstrate
successful mastery of learning outcomes as prescribed by the Ministry of Education. Students who are not
successful in meeting outcomes for a course will work with staff on a plan to meet those outcomes. Students in the
graduation program must pass courses as stated above.

is a career program that gives students the
opportunity to begin an apprenticeship
while still in high school, and to earn high

School Apprenticeship involves part-time
work within a trade – something many
secondary students are doing anyway.
Think about it: you can be earning money
and learning valuable skills doing a job
you love, getting high school and postsecondary credits for it, and pursuing
other academic courses at the same time.
Imagine how much more meaningful
school will feel, and how far ahead you’ll
be when you graduate. SSA can give you
a great head start on a career – you could
be up to two years ahead of your peers in
a career in the trades if you participate.

at some, if not all, of the topics in greater
detail. This in depth study will also apply
to labs and lab reports. The evaluation
of the AP/CH 12 part will be done at the
same time as the regular CH 11 evaluation,
however, it will consist of extra questions
being answered on the test. After AP/CH11, the students will enroll in
both CH 12 and AP/CH 12. In addition
to the information and evaluation of the

when you finish secondary
school?
If you don’t have a clear vision of where you would like to go, get on the internet
and follow the three steps below:
Step 1:
Go to careercruising.com. The user name is carihi. The password is tyees. Fill out
the survey to find out what occupations your area of interests lead you to. Make
note of these and proceed to step 2.
Step 2:
Go to http://workfutures.bc.ca. Click the A-Z menu and find the jobs you made
note of in step 1. Read through the listing and make note of the major features of
the job. Go to step 3.
Step 3:
Go to http://educationplanner.ca. Use the filters on the front page to narrow your
search to find what programs are offered where. Check the entrance requirements
in particular. These requirements will partly determine what courses you should
take in secondary school.
If someone is going down the wrong
road, he doesn’t need motivation
to speed him up. What he needs is
education to turn him around.

Making the Grade – Finding Success in
Secondary School
“I have never known a teacher to fail a student who had perfect attendance in their course.”
- John Frishholz, retired Carihi Counsellor
Such a simple piece of advice, but think about it; if you are in class everyday, many things will fall into place that will inevitably
lead to your success. First, you would have to learn something if you were there every day. You would get to know your teacher
really well if you were there every day and they would get to know you. If your teacher knew you really well could they fail you?
You? Not likely!
There are many areas of senior high school to think about and the following are some simple time tested pieces of advice that will
help you find success over the next three years. Success in Classes:
-
Attend every day. If you do have to be away let your teacher know.
-
Talk to your teacher about assignments and anything you do not understand or need help with.
-Develop good note taking and study skills.
-
Be respectful of your teacher; it will not go unnoticed.
-
Get to know someone in your class. You can:
•
get notes if you have to be away,
•
do project work or problem solve together,
•
study together.
-
Involve your parents in your education. They can meet your teacher if you have problems.
Success on Tests and Government Exams:
-
Take good notes in class so you can review easily.
-Study with a friend.
-
Review past exams (can be found on the internet)
-
Make certain that you are well rested prior to writing.
-Arrive at the test on time, not rushed.
-Come prepared – pens, pencils, calculator, eraser.
-
Take the time allowed, read questions carefully, and proof your work thoroughly, and use the planning pages for the written response questions.
Success with Scholarships: - Maintain good grades; the best that you can.
-
Stay informed. Talk to a counselor about what is new and up to date.
-
Keep a current and active resume of all of your activities.
-
Be involved in your school and community. Most scholarships require some or extensive community service and evidence of citizenship and leadership.
-
Develop a file of reference letters. When compiling this file:
•
Ask people who know you the best,
•
Provide them with lots of time to write the letter,
•
Give them your resume and other information that will help them write a good letter. Do not leave it until the last minute,
•
Be clear about why the letter is needed: entrance to an institution or specific program, scholarship, bursary, employment, etc.
-
Keep a copy of your scholarship applications as you might be able to use essay or long answer questions for more than one application.
-
Talk to your parents about possible scholarships or bursaries through their employment.
-
Do not leave scholarships until the last minute; they can be a lot of work.
General or Social Success – Making secondary school positive:
-
Get involved: join a club, a sports team, take part in spirit activities.
-
Respect the staff, other students and the building – it is your school.
-
Don’t let a small concern become a big problem. Talk to a teacher, a counselor or and administrator.
-
Be positive in the halls and at breaks: don’t litter, don’t accept rudeness, be positive with others.
-
Celebrate the differences of those around you; appreciate the diversity or our school.
