— Jeremiah 29:11

Loving God,

you invite me to rely on your goodness

as I prepare for high school and my future.

Help me to trust in the plans you have for me

that I may readily commit to the unique tasks to which you call me

as your beloved child.

Spirit of God,

you are the source of wisdom and understanding.

Guide and fill me with your grace

as I set out to discern and identify the skills and interests

that will direct my educational and career paths.

Sustain me in my efforts to develop

that I may become an engaged and successful life-long learner

who brings you glory.

Lord Jesus,

you invite me to learn from your gentle and humble heart.

Teach me your ways that,

as I live and learn in our Catholic faith,

my life might be rooted in love and mercy and

I may contribute to the building of a school community

that is marked by the spirit of the Gospel.

Amen

Message from Your Chief Superintendent Dear Students:

Footprints to Your Future: a Guide to High School is a resource to help you prepare for an exciting new chapter in your life – your high school journey. High School is a challeng-ing journey and a very important chapter in your education. This guide is intended to assist you in planning your high school academic years. Calgary Catholic is committed to Success For All Students by providing diverse environments and pathways that meet the unique needs of all High School Students.

Schools in the Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) work collaboratively with parents to support students as they prepare for and progress through high school. Part of this collaborative process involves selecting courses, which can have a significant influ-ence on post-secondary options and career choices following your high school years.

Choosing high school courses might at first seem overwhelming for students. When making course selections, students are encouraged to consider your talents, interests, skills and strengths carefully, and keep an open mind. To assist students with this process and provide some valuable tools to help with the course selection, CCSD has developed Footprints to Your Future: a Guide to High School. This guide will help identify sub-jects of interest to you, and determine what courses and careers might suit your goals. Students, we encourage you to work collaboratively with your families as you make these selections.

The three years spent in senior high school will be a time of self-development and discov-ery. Please keep in mind there are no right or wrong decisions when it comes to course selections. It is, however, important to keep possible career aspirations and future goals in mind. If you are planning to attend college or university it is important to obtain the necessary information regarding admissions requirements into post-secondary programs and tailor your course selections accordingly. A student planning to seek employment immediately after high school should also seek information about what is required to pursue this goal.

Career planning will be an ongoing process throughout your life. Support from teachers, guidance counsellors and school administration is always available and can provide use-ful insight and information.

High school is an exciting time.

I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,

Gary StrotherChief Superintendent

Catholic High School Education PhilosophyEDUCATION“The Catholic school pursues cultural goals and the natural development of youth to the same degree as any other school. What makes the Catholic school distinctive is its attempt to generate a community climate in the school that is permeated by the Gospel spirit of freedom and love.” (Second Vatican Council)

The goal of Catholic schools is to help develop students whose knowledge, skills and attitudes will prepare them to deal with the challenges of life and help them grow in understanding towards the teach-ings and traditions of the Church. In our Catholic schools, faith and culture come together so that faith becomes an active and visible part of the lives of the students and staff – in what they study and in how they relate to one another. In a climate of openness, trust and coopera-tion, the school, the home and the parish must work together to create an authentic community and sense of partnership. Students who choose to attend a Catholic high school will have the benefit of this authentic community.

THE CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL COMMUNITY

A Shared Responsibility

The Catholic academic tradition is strong in our schools. It remains strong through our students, our staff and our beliefs. Calgary Catholic School District teach-ers are role models for our students. They demonstrate Christian values in their daily teaching and in their contact with students, parents and other members of the commu-nity. These values are taught in Religious Studies classes at every grade level and are reinforced in all subjects.

Opportunities for religious celebration and prayers are part of the overall pro-gram in each CCSD school. Each student is expected to be a contributing member of the high school community to which he or she belongs. When a young person chooses to attend a Catholic high school it signifies an acceptance of the teachings and values of the Roman Catholic tradi-tion. These values are lived out when the student displays a serious attitude toward his or her academic studies, commitment to the goals of the school community, a willingness to participate in prayer and liturgical celebrations, respect for mem-bers of the community and a true sense of responsibility for his or her actions.

A chaplain is assigned to each high school. He/she brings theological knowl-edge to the school community and offers pastoral counselling to both students and teachers. All of our high schools have a chapel, which is open for private contem-plation for all members of the school com-munity and for the celebration of mass.

Doing well in high school can be an exciting challenge. In addition to regular at-tendance in classes and time spent in extra-curricular activities outside the classroom, some students also choose to take on a part-time job. It is important to make good choices so that you have a balanced lifestyle.

Students who have one or both parents/guardians who is/are Roman Catholic or students themselves have a Roman Catholic baptismal certificate, even if their parents do not present their proof of Catholicity, may register in a Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) high school. Students whose parents are both non-Catholic and they are non-Catholic may be admitted only if sufficient resourc-es and facilities are available.

It is important to note that as with our el-ementary and junior high schools, CCSD has designated high school boundaries. CCSD uses boundaries strategically to ensure optimal student populations that support viable programming across the district. It is the expectation that students will attend their designated high school based on the resident address of their parents/guardians.

CCSD has seven district recognized programs at various schools throughout the district. These programs are Interna-tional Baccalaureate (English and French), Advanced Placement, Extended French, International Spanish Academy, Bishop Carroll Self-Directed Learning, Bishop Grandin Marching Band and Hockey Canada Skills Academy. Acceptance of students registering into one of these programs is based on specific program

criteria, program qualifications, room and resources. Acceptance into any of the programs is not guaranteed.

Registration of students for programs outside of their designated school are student specific. Siblings of students are not accepted unless they qualify for one of the seven district recognized programs, and there is sufficient room and resources. For example, an older sibling attends St. Mary’s for International Baccalaureate. Younger siblings who do not live in the St. Mary’s High School regular attendance boundary area would not attend St. Mary’s unless they qualify for and are accepted into one of the district recognized pro-grams at St. Mary’s, such as International Baccalaureate or Extended French.

District recognized programs also have defined boundaries. If a student chooses to withdraw from a designated program for which an exemption to high school boundaries is granted, the expectation is that the student would return to his or her designated school. For example, a student is granted acceptance to the Hockey Can-ada Skills Academy at Notre Dame High School and lives in the regular attendance boundary area for Bishop McNally. The student then withdraws from the Hockey Canada Skills Academy. The expectation is that he/she will return to Bishop McNally as this is the student’s designated high

school based on the resident address of his/her parent/guardian.

As well, if a student currently attends a year-round junior high program, the student will follow the guidelines for admission to high school. For example, a student attends the year-round junior high program at St. Joseph School. For high school, the student attends the high school in his/her boundary area based on the resident address of his/her parent/guardian.

Furthermore, a student attending junior high outside of his/her boundary area will transition to the high school in the student’s boundary area unless he/she qualifies for and is accepted into a district designated program at high school. For example, a student lives south of Fish Creek yet attends St. Bonaventure Junior High which is not his/her regular bound-ary school. For regular programming, this student would attend Bishop O’Byrne High School, not Bishop Grandin High School. In another example, a student attends St. Helena for the Hockey Canada Skills Academy. The student does not plan to continue in the Hockey Canada Skills Academy for high school. For regular programming, this student would attend the high school in his/her boundary area based on the resident address of his/her parent/guardian.

District Recognized ProgramsTo meet the diverse needs of all students, some senior high schools offer a number of district recognized programs. Not all programs are available at all high schools. A student who wishes to access one of these district recognized programs, outside of their school boundary must meet specific criteria for the program. It is expected that students attending these programs need to register in a mini-mum of two classes in order to be accepted. These designated programs are listed below. Please inquire at your local school regard-ing specific boundaries for schools and programs. There may be exceptional circumstances where students are admitted to schools outside their boundaries. Students should speak with their Junior High Principal for further information. Boundary maps are also included in this booklet, beginning on page 51. Please be advised that Footprints To Your Future is printed at the beginning of each school year and changes to boundary information may occur throughout the year after the document is printed.

AP & IB PROGRAMS - RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUCCESSAdvanced Placement and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme are instructional program options that provide enriched and challenging academic opportunities for CCSD high school students. Students interested in registering in AP or IB programs/courses located outside of their designated high school geo-graphic area should meet the following general criteria:

• Consistent junior high academic course average of 75% or higher • Demonstrate knowledge and commitment to the AP or IB program in which

they wish to register • Are prepared to continue in their AP or IB course work through Grade 12

Further information is available from the coordinators of AP and IB programs at each school.

SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING Bishop Carroll High School is a unique self-directed learning en-vironment, which puts students in the driver’s seat of their educational journey. Students have the freedom to customize a learning program that is best suited for their unique goals, abilities and interests. With the guidance of a teacher-advisor and parents, students choose the program and courses they want to follow. Students can then progress through these courses at a personal-ized rate reflecting their individual needs and learning pace. Although students study at their own pace, they must still follow the curriculum set out by Alberta Education and must fulfill the requirements mandated by the province to receive their Alberta High School Diploma.

3ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP)The Advanced Placement (AP) program is a co-operative educa-tional endeavour between secondary schools, colleges and universities. AP allows high school students to take college level academic learning in AP courses and gives them the opportunity to show that they have mastered the advanced material by taking AP exams. Students can receive credit, advanced placement, or both from thousands of colleges and universities that participate in the Advanced Placement program. Please check with your school coun-sellor for more details.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB) DIPLOMA PROGRAMME

Life in the 21st century, in an interconnected, globalized world, requires critical-thinking skills and a sense of international-mindedness, something that International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme students come to know and understand.

Designed as an academically challenging and balanced pro-gram of education, IB Diploma Programme prepares students for success at university and beyond. The program is normally taught in grades 11 and 12, though stu-dents may enter honours courses in Grade 10 to help them better prepare for the program.

EXTENDED FRENCH PROGRAM Five of our high schools offer courses in the Extended French program for students choosing to continue in French Immersion. French Language Arts, Mathematics and Social Studies are offered in French. CCSD maxi-mizes course availability according to demand.

Students who are currently enrolled in Grade 9 French Immersion may register in an Extended French program. Thirty per cent of their subjects are taught in French. The Extended French program enables students to maintain and extend the level of French proficiency they have already achieved. Students who have completed a minimum of 30 credits in Extended French including FLA 30 will receive CCSD’s Certificate of Bilingual Competence.

SENIOR HIGH MARCHING BANDStudents from any area of the city are eligible to attend Bishop Grandin High School to participate in the Senior High Marching Band pro-gram. The Bishop Grandin Marching Ghosts is western Canada’s only high school based marching show band. The marching band has won awards internationally, has garnered gold medals in the Calgary Stampede com-petition for marching show bands and has earned Canadian marching band championships. In addition to performance repertoire, the concert band program focuses on individual, sectional and ensemble development in instrumental technique, music reading, theory and history.CAMPUS EDUCATION

4 5 HOCKEY CANADA SKILLS ACADEMYHockey Canada has partnered with the Calgary Catholic School District to assist with the hockey portion of the program. In addition to hockey, this program offers a dry land com-ponent that consists of training in a variety of sports, fitness, nutrition, sports history and some athletic therapy.

SPANISH BILINGUAL PROGRAM Bishop McNally High School, Bishop Grandin High School and St. Francis High School offer the Spanish Bilin-gual program. This is a continuation of the junior high bilingual program. Spanish Language Arts and Film Studies are offered in Spanish (25 per cent of subjects are taught in Spanish). CCSD maximizes course availability according to demand.

Students who are currently enrolled in the Grade 9 Spanish Bilingual program or who successfully complete a placement exam may register in the Spanish Bilingual program at Bishop McNally, Bishop Grandin and St. Francis High Schools. The program enables students to maintain and extend the level of Spanish proficiency they have already achieved.

Students who have completed a minimum of 25 credits in the Spanish Bilingual program and a mandatory completion of SLA 30, will receive upon graduation from Grade 12 a cer-tificate from the government of Spain.

District Supports FIRST NATIONS, MÉTIS AND INUIT (FNMI)Aboriginal education programs have been in effect at CCSD high schools since 1983. Optional courses are offered to provide op-portunities for aboriginal students to learn about their culture and to develop a sense of identity. All high schools can access aborigi-nal liaison staff and students are encouraged to utilize the expertise of these individuals. Aboriginal Studies 10, 20 and 30 is offered in selected high schools. All high schools have a diverse learning teacher who will support aboriginal students.

PROGRAMS AND SUPPORTS FOR DIVERSE LEARNERSA wide range of programming and instruc-tional supports are available for students with diverse learning needs. Parents and students are encouraged to participate as members of the student’s Diverse Learning Team. This team consults and collaborates regarding individual student learning needs to develop Learner Support Plan (L.S.P.). The L.S.P. is a written agreement which guides instruction designed for student success.

Learning Strategies

The learning strategies courses of study have been designed to assist high school students in developing an in depth understanding of strategies they can use to be successful learn-ers. Through explicit instruction, guided practice and ongoing feedback students will have the opportunity to apply a broader scope of strategies to maximize their learn-ing and achievement. It is the mission of the learning strategies staff to provide students with the information, opportunity, and assistance to achieve to their highest level and work towards greater self-advocacy. Stu-dents can earn up to 15 high school credits in Learning Strategies.

OFF-CAMPUS EDUCATIONCalgary Catholic School District’s Off-Campus Education program is designed to help all students recognize their special gifts, talents and interests, and to put education into a meaningful framework.

HIGH SCHOOL OUTREACH PROGRAMS The Calgary Catholic School District offers outreach programming for those students who find it to be very challenging to be successful in a traditional learning environment. These outreach programs provide new and different opportunities for students to engage in learning environments that are based on individual student learning needs. They serve as alternative educational settings for students who require a different type of structured learning environ-ment in order to assist them to engage in a delivery model at the high school level that is also linked to other academic and community supports. For further information, students and parents should contact a guidance counsellor at their designated high school.

CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES (CTS) CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE/DUAL CREDIT PROGRAMS: The following are district programs which students may travel to other schools or post-secondary institutions to take these courses.

Students can take these courses and receive only high school credit or may choose to write the external certification exam offered by an outside agency such as the Alberta Apprenticeship Board, Microsoft, SAIT, etc.

If interested in these courses students can check with their High School Counsellor or Career Practitioner.

The counsellor provides counselling, student appraisal, referral and educational/occupational planning services in an attempt to meet the devel-opmental needs of students. The Catholic counsellor is concerned with all aspects of a student’s growth. The counsellor also accesses district and community pro-grams to support students in all aspects of their development.

TEACHER ADVISORS Each student is matched with a teacher who acts as mentor, liaison and advocate for the student. As mentor, the teacher guides students through program and course selection, career options and minor personal problems. As liaison, the teacher monitors and initiates com-munication between students, teachers, parents/guardians and school adminis-trators. As advocate, the teacher as-sists students in conflict situations and promotes action plans that will benefit the student. With this teacher advisory system, parents/guardians can contact a specific teacher who will have a personal involvement and special interest in their son or daughter.

SCHOOL CHAPLAINSchool chaplains work with staff, ad-ministration and students to create and sustain a consistent, coherent Catholic educational environment for our school communities. Chaplains coordinate liturgical celebrations in the schools, act as a liaison between schools and Catholic parishes, chair their high school Pastoral Care Teams, and deliver comprehensive retreat programs for the students. They are available for pastoral counselling for both staff and students, providing an es-sential service in keeping spirituality an explicit component of Catholic education.

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER The Calgary Police Service, through its School Resource Officers (SROs), assigns a police officer to high schools in Cal-gary. The officers are resource persons for anyone in the school community. They engage in a variety of activities in the schools, from formal classroom presen-tations to individual consultations with students. Officers also provide additional connections for referrals to many social service agencies as needed. SROs are an essential component of the support system in our district high schools.

CAREER PRACTITIONER Within the career centre at each high school, a career practitioner is available to help students make informed deci-sions about their futures. Using a variety of resources, the career practitioner helps students begin their journey toward discovering the opportunities available in today’s constantly changing world. Students may ask for assistance in career exploration activities, interest invento-ries, resume writing, job interview prepa-ration and work experience programs.

SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOLSIn senior high school, you will discover more about yourself, including what you are good at and what you enjoy. These discoveries may cause you to change your career goals and re-evaluate your selection of courses. It is important to set career goals and work toward them, but also to be realistic and adaptable. The following tools are intended to assist you with the process of learning more about yourself and beginning to plan for your future.

CONSIDER YOUR INTERESTSCertain subjects are associated with certain interests. School is more enjoyable when you study subjects you find inter-esting. Check the areas in which you are interested, and note the related subjects.

The senior high school you attend may of-fer courses in subjects you have not stud-ied before, so you may not know if you are interested in them. Your teacher or counsellor can tell you more about these courses. You may develop new interests as well as new abilities.

Setting Your GoalsYou have your own abilities, interests and values. Being aware of these will help you decide what you should study in senior high school and what career goals you should set for yourself.

CONSIDER YOUR ABILITIESTake a realistic look at yourself and consider your abilities. Your marks and other ac-complishments in junior high school, as well as your activities outside of school, may be an indication of your abilities. Your chances of success in senior high school will be greater if you build on these abilities. Some abilities are listed below, along with some related subjects. Check the abilities in which you are strongest and note the subjects that you could take to develop them.

ENTERING THE WORK FORCEIf your long-term career goal is to work right after graduation, take a careful look at the workplace opportunities you may be considering. What do you really know about the work?

• Do you know what the work involves?• Does it involve the kind of tasks you

will enjoy doing?• Do you know what kind of training is

required?• Will you have the necessary knowl-

edge and skills?• Do you know what the job has to offer?• Will it provide you with the job sat-

isfaction, salary and benefits you are seeking?

• Will there be job openings in your field when you graduate?

• Will the job provide you with oppor-tunities for advancement and personal growth?

POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION If your long-term career goal involves studying at a post-secondary institution, you need to select your courses with the entrance requirements of those institu-tions in mind. These requirements vary between institutions and among programs within institutions. For example, the faculty of arts may require that you have a second language in order to be admit-ted, while other faculties at the same institution may not. Each post-secondary institution sets its own requirements for entrance into their particular institution or program. Many of these guides are located online.

Guides may also be available from your school counsellor, or by visiting www.alis.alberta.ca.

Although most post-secondary institu-tions set a minimum average for admis-sion, that average does not guarantee admission. Admission to most programs is highly competitive, which often means that students with the highest averages are the ones admitted.

An Alberta High School Diploma does not guarantee admission to ANY post-secondary institution. The requirements for a high school diploma are not the same as the admission requirements to post-secondary institutions.

AFTER THINKING IT OVER...Now you have a better idea of who you are and how that influences your choices of programs and courses in senior high school and your future career goals. To summarize what you’ve done, you have:

• Reviewed your abilities• Considered your interests• Identified your values• Thought about related courses• Set short-term goals• Set long-term goals

Your teachers and school counsellor can assist you further. You may also want to talk to others who know you well: your parents, relatives and friends.

My career goals are:

SET YOUR CAREER GOALSOnce you know your abilities, interests and values, you can set your goals. Short-term goals are the ones you hope to fulfill soon. It is also important to set long-term career goals for your future. You may need to revisit your goals several times throughout your high school career.

Be open-minded when you think about your goals, and don’t put obstacles in your way. For example, if you are planning to continue studying after senior high school because you are uncertain about finding a job, maybe you first need to investigate potential jobs. Or, if you are planning to go right to work because you can’t afford to continue your studies, find out more about student loans and scholarships. There may be financial assistance of which you are unaware.

Career planning is an ongoing process and will probably change over time. Thinking now about your career interests and op-tions gives you a head start.

Each of these short-term and long-term career goals should be considered when selecting your senior high courses.

English Language Arts 10-2 (5 credits)

English Language Arts 10-2 is intended to develop language arts strategies and skills to strengthen the confident and competent use of language and under-standing of texts. Students in 10-2 are taught additional reading comprehension strategies to assist them in developing their reading and text study skills. ELA 10-2 requires the study of popular nonfic-tion. ELA 10-2 emphasizes the creation of personal responses to contexts, and re-quires analytical responses to other print and non-print texts and contexts.

Religious EducationReligious Education 15, 25, 35 are ex-pected courses in the Calgary Catholic School District’s senior high schools. Some high schools offer Religious Stud-ies for 3 and 5 credits. Completion of 9 full credits is required for participation in each local senior high school’s gradu-ation exercises.

“Go and Make Disciples”: Living the Great Commission is the Program of Religious Education (Roman Catho-lic) for Alberta Catholic Schools. In each course, RE 15, RE 25, and RE 35, the general outcomes are developed through specific learning outcomes, recommended resources, and teaching time frames.

English Language Arts 10-4 (5 credits) only for K&E

This course is only for students entering Knowledge & Employability (K&E). The course helps develop reading, writing, lis-tening, speaking, viewing and represent-ing skills with an emphasis on application to the work world. It also emphasizes recreational reading and viewing. Students wanting to pursue their Alberta High School Diploma should consult a guid-ance counsellor regarding moving into -2 courses (ex: ELA 20-2 and 30-2).

TRANSFER POINTS In the model, the solid arrows denote the typi-cal pathways that students follow to progress from grade to grade. Students generally take the prerequisite in a course sequence such as 10-2; 20-2; 30-2. The dotted arrows denote potential and transfer points from course se-quence to course sequence with the bold dot-ted arrows being the preferred transfer point. Alberta Education states, “For students who require ELA 30-1 to enter a particular post-secondary program and are registered in the ELA 10-2; 20-2; 30-2 course sequence, the preferred transfer point to the other course sequence is at the 20 level. It is recommended that students take ELA 20-2, transfer to the other sequence and take 20-1, and then take ELA 30-1. Students generally experience more success in ELA 30-1 following this pathway.”

English Language Arts 10-1 (5 credits)

English Language Arts 10-1 is intended for students who have demonstrated strengths in their use of language and in their understanding of print and non-print texts. The ELA 10-1 course provides a more in-depth study of text in terms of increased emphasis on textual analysis. ELA 10-1 requires both the study of and writing of essays. ELA 10-1 emphasizes the creation of personal responses to texts, and requires critical analytical responses to literary texts and contexts.

Religious Education (Roman Catholic) 15 - Christ and Culture

The principal aim of Christ and Culture is to assist students, with the help of the Gospel, to participate as Christians in the shaping of our culture. The program explores major cultural issues from a Christological perspective. Beginning with their own life experiences, students acquire a deeper and more systematic knowledge of themselves, Christ’s message, and the Church. Connections between the Church and contemporary culture are explored in terms of what it means to be a responsible adolescent developing as a member of a Catholic, Christian community while liv-ing within the context of a broader culture.

Religious Education (Roman Catholic) 25 - Jesus Christ: God’s Gift of Salvation

Jesus Christ: God’s Gift of Salvation invites students to deepen their relationship with Jesus through a prayerful study of Scripture. Students will explore the Jewish historical, religious, and cultural world into which the Messiah was born and the Old Testament covenant fulfilled. Us-ing the Gospels as primary sources, the course explores Jesus’ birth, early life, and ministry; his preaching of the Kingdom of God; his special teachings, particularly the parables; and his miracles. It then focuses on the scriptural accounts of his death and Resurrection, and the Ascension, and their central significance for the church’s understanding of Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God.

Religious Education (Roman Catholic) 35 - In Search of the Good

In Search of the Good challenges stu-dents to understand themselves as moral persons called to discipleship by living the way of Christ. Through an examina-tion of ethical theories, the revelation of Sacred Scripture, and the lived experience and teaching of the Catholic Church, the course invites students to mature as active participants in their faith. At the heart of catechesis is the human search for happi-ness as the completion of the superabun-dant love of God. The same tension which exists between the revelation of God’s love and the explorations of human reason are worked out in the areas of freedom, jus-tice, human relations, ecology, reconcilia-tion, life in community and political life.

English Language Arts Alberta Education requires that students obtain at least 15 credits in English Lan-guage Arts in either of two streams 10-1; 20-1; 30-1 or 10-2; 20-2; 30-2. To obtain a Alberta High School Diploma, English Language Arts 30-1 or 30-2 is required. The dash one (-1) stream (English 10-1, 20-1, 30-1) is considered more challeng-ing and is often required for admittance into universities. The dash two (-2) stream (English 10-2, 20-2, 30-2) is less challeng-ing and can often be used at technical institutes and trades schools.

• The comprehension of literature and other texts in oral, print, visual, and multi-media forms.

• The creation of oral, print, visual, and multi-media texts and the enhancement of clarity and artistry of communication.

Alberta Education describes, “The ELA 10-1; 20-1; 30-1 course sequence provides a more in-depth study of text in terms of increased emphasis on textual analysis,” while “The ELA 10-2; 20-2; 30-2 course sequence provides for the study of texts at a variety of different levels of sophistication to meet the needs of a student population that is more diverse in terms of student aspirations and abilities....”

Course DescriptionsConsider how your senior high school courses will be an important part of your faith journey as you discover and pursue the purpose for which God has created you.

The vocations that people choose are the paths that seem the best way for them to live happily in the world and contribute to building the Kingdom of God.

As you make your course selections con-sider carefully how God has gifted you as an individual with particular talents and abilities. Consider how God is inviting you through your uniqueness to be a very special part of this plan to make known His love for all people on earth.

Post-Secondary Certificate, Diploma and Degrees

Applied Degree Programs Are offered by some public colleges and technical institutes; four-year programs (usually a two year diploma plus two ad-ditional years) consisting of six semesters (about one year) of related paid, super-vised work experience in the industry.

Bachelor’s Degree Programs Are offered by universities and private institutions authorized to offer accredited degree programs. Involve the equivalent of three or four years of full-time study.

Master’s Degree Programs Involve a minimum of two years of full-time university study beyond the bach-elor’s degree level. Require a bachelor’s degree for admission.

Doctoral Degree Programs Require two or three years of full-time university study and research beyond the master’s degree level. Involve planning and carrying out high quality research.

Alberta Journeyman Certificate (Apprenticeship) Programs Involve registered apprentices completing a specified number of on-the-job training hours and periods of formal instruction at one of Alberta’s training institutions, followed by examinations.

Certificate Programs Prepare students for entry into specific occupations. Involve one year or less of full-time, hands-on study at a college or technical institute.

Diploma Programs Prepare students for employment in a particular field or group of occupations. Involve two years of full-time, applied study at a college or technical institute.

People sometimes use terms such as certificate, diploma, applied degree and degree to mean the same thing. However, there are some important differences in the way these words are used in Alberta's post-secondary education system.

Additional Information

STUDENT FINANCE INFORMATION If you want to go to a post-secondary institution but think you can’t afford to, you may be eligible for a student loan. You can find out more from your school counsellor or by phone at 780-427-3722 or toll free at 1-800-222-6485 or by visiting the Alberta Learning Information Services (ALIS) website at www.alis.alberta.ca/studentsfinance.

POST-SECONDARY INFORMATION All post-secondary institutions have counsellors who can provide you with information such as admission require-ments and scholarships. Your school counsellor also has information about these institutions. You can also seek information through the Alberta Learn-ing Information Service (ALIS) website and through the individual post-sec-ondary websites.

RETURNING GRADE 12 STUDENTS Consistent with its authority under Sec-tion 45(4) of the School Act, the Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) identi-fies St. Anne Academic Centre as the designated high school to which students requesting a fourth year of high school in the district are directed. St. Anne Academic Centre provides direct instruction classes, self-directed stud-ies, on-line learning opportunities, work experience and apprenticeship program-ming, and home schooling options for students. Students must be under the age of 20 by September 1st of the year they seek enrolment at St. Anne. Recognizing individual differences, St. Anne strives to meet the needs of students with flexibility and innovation in a safe and nurturing environment that provides individualized support for each student.

All fourth year high school students are expected to attend St. Anne Academic Centre if they wish to enroll in an ad-ditional year. However, when a returning Grade 12 student has been involved in and can benefit from the continuation of specialized programming, a student’s local school, in consultation with Calgary Catholic’s Instructional Services Depart-ment, may develop an alternative plan to meet the student’s needs through continu-ation at their local high school.

SUMMER SCHOOL Students looking for a way to get a head start on high school courses may wish to consider taking a course during the summer. Calgary Catholic School District offers core and non-core courses in differ-ent high school locations in July each year. Any student completing Grade 9 is eligible to take most Grade 10 courses in sum-mer school. These are condensed courses and offer students the option to com-plete a high school credit course within one month. 5-credit courses, normally completed in 125 hours during the regular school year, are condensed to just 80 hours in summer school. In the same way, 3-credit courses, usually completed in 62.5 hours are completed in 48 hours. For more information about summer school, see www.cssd.ab.ca/academicser-vices or speak with your school guidance counsellor.

The option to remain for a fourth year at a student’s local high school is only available in specific circumstances. The opportunity to remain at the local high school is grant-ed at the sole discretion of the Calgary Catholic School District. Students access this option through an application process determined at the local school level. The development of a plan for student success during a fourth year may involve: • continuation of specialized programming;• the use of a contract or specific in-

structional plan;• the development of a collaborative

Individual Program Plan (IPP);• articulation of clear expectations,

including processes for direction to other district programs, including St. Anne when necessary.

Lifelong Learning Even if you are not intending to continue your formal education immediately after grad-uation, your learning will continue throughout adulthood. New technology is affecting workplaces dramatically resulting in the need for continuous training and retraining. Upgrading skills and a willingness to accept career changes will become essential. It is important to see the challenge and opportunity in learning new information, not only to keep up with new technology, but also in order for you to become the best that you can be. You are beginning an exciting chapter in your life in which YOU begin to take on greater responsibility for your own learning. Remember, there’s lots of help available. Keep this booklet together with other career plans that you develop. This will help guide you as you create “Footprints to Your Future.” Best wishes and good luck!

High School Boundary Maps

As previously noted, CCSD has designated boundaries for all high schools. CCSD uses boundaries strategically to ensure optimal student populations that support viable programming across the district. It is the expectation that students will attend their designated high school. Please be aware that school attendance boundaries can and do change to accom-modate factors including changing demo-graphic information, the opening of a new school, the closing of an existing school, to relieve overcrowding in schools, etc. The attached maps have been provided for the convenience of parents and students for reference as a guide only and CCSD can-not guarantee their accuracy or precision

after the printing of this booklet. These maps should be used only as a guide and should not be used to determine school attendance or transportation eligibility. Parents are encouraged to contact the school directly to determine eligibility, or to phone 403-500-2000 for more informa-tion. The Calgary Catholic School District will not be held liable for any actions taken, decisions made, or actions not taken from reliance on any information presented in the attached maps. The most current boundary information for all schools can be found online at www.cssd.ab.ca.
