This course enables students to broaden mathematical knowledge and skills related to abstract mathematical topics and to the solving of complex
problems. Students will solve problems involving geometric and Cartesian vectors, and intersections of lines and planes in three-space. They will
also develop an understanding of proof, using deductive, algebraic, vector, and indirect methods. Students will solve problems involving counting
techniques and prove results using mathematical induction.
PREREQUISITE: MCR 3U1
BIOLOGY, University Preparation
SB1 4U1
This course provides students with the opportunity for in-depth study of the concepts and processes associated with biological systems. Students
will study theory and conduct investigations in the areas of metabolic processes, molecular genetics, homeostasis, evolution, and population
dynamics. Emphasis will be placed on achievement of the detailed knowledge and refined skills needed for further study in the various branches
of life sciences and related fields.
PREREQUISITE: SB1 3U1
Locations: St. Aloysius Gonzaga and John Cabot
CHEMISTRY, College Preparation
SCH 4C1
This course introduces students to the concepts that form the basis of modern chemistry. Students will study qualitative analysis, quantitative
relationships in chemical reactions, organic chemistry and electrochemistry, and chemistry as it relates to the quality of the environment. Students
will employ a variety of laboratory techniques, develop skills of data collection and scientific analysis, and communicate scientific information
using appropriate terminology. Emphasis will be placed on the role of chemistry in daily life and in the development of new technologies and
products.
PREREQUISITE: SNC 2D1 or SNC 2P1
CHEMISTRY, University Preparation
SCH 4U1
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of organic chemistry, energy changes and rates
of reaction, chemical equilibrium, atomic and molecular structure, and electrochemistry. Students will further develop problem-solving and
laboratory skills as they investigate chemical processes, at the same time refining their ability to communicate scientific information. Emphasis
will be placed on the importance of chemistry in daily life, and on evaluating the impact of chemical technology on the environment.
PREREQUISITE: SCH 3U1

PHYSICS, College Preparation
SPH 4C1
This course develops students’ understanding of the basic concepts of physics. Students will explore these concepts as they relate to mechanical,
electrical, fluid (hydraulic and pneumatic), and communications systems, as well as to the operation of commonly used tools and equipment.
They will develop scientific-inquiry skills as they verify accepted laws of physics and solve both assigned problems and those emerging from their
investigations. Students will also consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment.
PREREQUISITE: SNC 2D1 or SNC 2P1
PHYSICS, University Preparation
SPH 4U1
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of the concepts and theories of physics. Students will explore further the laws of
dynamics and energy transformations, and will investigate electrical, gravitational, and magnetic fields; electromagnetic radiation; and the interface
between energy and matter. They will further develop inquiry skills, learning, for example, how the interpretation of experimental data can
provide indirect evidence to support the development of a scientific model. Students will also consider the impact on society and the environment
of technological applications of physics.
PREREQUISITE: SPH 3U1
PLAR For Mature Students
Prior Learning Assessment Recognition
A formal evaluation and accreditation process for secondary school adult learners to achieve recognition for their prior
learning towards completion of diploma requirements.
What is PLAR?
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is the formal evaluation and credit-granting process through which
mature students may obtain credits for prior learning - the knowledge and skills that adults have acquired, in both
formal and informal ways, outside secondary school.
The PLAR process for mature students involves three procedures:
• Individual assessment/equivalency (Gr. 9/10)
• Equivalency (Gr. 11/12)
• Challenge (Gr. 11/12)
There is no charge for mature students to participate in the PLAR process.

Adobe Photoshop
Software for your Digital Camera Pictures (Adobe Photoshop CS2)
Today, digital photography has superceded film photography and the power of digital media is exponentially increasing
what the average person can do with their photographs. Today we can simply turn on our computers, load Adobe
Photoshop CS2 (Creative Suite 2) and in minutes edit our imperfect digital pictures into superb photographs. In this
beginner course you will learn the basic skills to get you comfortable with the Adobe Photoshop CS2 interface and the
use of the tools and palettes. The focus of this course is to show you the skills that the average digital photographer
would find useful every day in an entirely hands-on environment. Since Adobe Photoshop CS2 is identical on both a
Macintosh and a PC, it doesn’t matter what computer you have at home, the skills are fully transferrable. In addition
you will learn about the qualities of a good digital camera and what would be the best choice for your needs.
So what can I do?
• Did Aunt Sally miss the family photo at your recent reunion? If you had digitized photos,
you could add her in from another photograph and then print a copy of the whole family
together.
• Do you have an excellent picture of your son except for that person walking past in the
background? If the picture is digital, you could remove that person with no noticeable
traces.
• Did you ever want to add text, adjust the colours to a scene, add more trees to a picture,
enhance the clarity, eliminate red-eye, make photo-collages, or simply just play with
photographs?
For maximum benefit you should have access to a home computer with Photoshop CS2.
