Careers, Work Experience and Grad Transitions

WORK EXPERIENCE

When students reach the senior grades, they will be considered for possible work placement experience. It is the goal of ‘work placement” to give students on the job experience to practice and demonstrate essential work skills. Students will go to job placements that match interest and ability.

What is the Graduation Transition Plan?

The Graduation Transitions Plan is intended to prepare students for a successful transition to life after secondary school. Students begin work on the Graduation Transition Plan in their Planning 10 class and continue work on it independently through grade 11 and 12. Help is available from Ms. Kimbley in room 302.

The Graduation Transitions Plan is worth four credits and is mandatory for graduation. The Ministry has condensed the requirements into clear and concise sections.

Personal Health (150 minutes of physical activity per week in grade 10 through 12)
Community Connections (30 hours of work and/or volunteer experience)
Career and Life (Graduation Transition package to be completed in grade 12 with a presentation component in the form of an interview)

Help on completing the Graduation Transitions Plan is available everyday in room 302.
