PLANNING YOUR GRADE TWELVE YEAR Archbishop Denis O’Connor C.H.S. January 2017

Before We Begin… Summer School information and registration will be available in April or May. Remedial Courses: courses for students unsuccessful in a semester course with a mark of greater than 35%. Remedial courses are 2 weeks long. Acceleration Courses: courses for students who have not previously taken a particular course or who did not earn a 35% in the course during the school year. Acceleration courses are 4 weeks long. If you would like help selecting courses make an appointment with your Guidance Counsellor as soon as possible. Some acceleration courses fill quickly – be prepared to register when information becomes available. If you were unsuccessful in a course in semester one and plan to go to summer school, you may need to see a Guidance Counsellor to add the grade 12 course for your timetable next year! Do so as soon as possible!

Our 2017– 2018 On-Line Course Calendar! A course calendar provides you with information about the school, graduation requirements, general information, courses available to students. Important planning charts (Department Flow Charts) are included as well as web sites to assist with your academic planning. To access, go to doc.dcdsb.ca; select the STUDENTS link and click GUIDANCE Click on the Course Levels and Calendar tab on the left; select DO’C COURSE CALENDAR

Selecting Courses for Grade 12 Two compulsory courses: English, Religion Check with your Guidance Counsellor if you need to complete any other compulsory credits. You must select a minimum of 6 courses (3 per semester). You must have 24 credits to have 2 spares. E-Learning courses count as one of the 6! Two Alternate credits (used if one of your optional courses is not available or a course is cancelled) If you plan to apply to university you must earn six credits in grade 12 at the U or M level REMEMBER: Select course levels that reflect the pathway you are considering. Consider all pathways as you plan your post-secondary years: apprenticeship, work, college, university.

NEW COURSES FOR 2017-18: Hockey Focus Phys-ed PPL3OH– Will run in Semester 1 during Period 1 On–ice classes will be held at the Ajax Community Center Students must be able to get transportation and from the arena An additional fee of $50 is required for this course This class is a co-ed class; both males and females can sign up

NEW COURSES FOR 2017-18: Drama Music Theatre ADB4M1 This course extends students’ well-developed capacity for musical theatre performance. Students are challenged to analyze, interpret, and perform musical theatre from various cultural and historical periods, especially shows which focus on a diverse range of sources. Workshops encourage students to explore the tension between character archetypes and modern influences, refine vocal skills and approaches to movement on- stage, and to reflect on and analyze their own practice. In the grade twelve course, students attend to musical theatre as a unique genre of performance, as a mode of expression, and as and a vehicle for social chance. They are led to consider how musical theatre criticism both advances their understanding of themselves and the world around us, which might inspire novel risks in dramatic, vocal/ musical, and movement styles and practice. Students will explore modern production values, including the integration of technology as a mode of expression on stage. As such, students will have the unique opportunity to explore technical elements of musical production, and the array of vibrant and exciting careers which support the performing arts.

NEW COURSES FOR 2017-18: Hairstyling & Aesthetics TXJ3E – Hairstyling and Aesthetics Dual credit course; students will earn TXJ3E high school course and Makeup Artistry from Loyalist College Open if both male and female students in Grade 11 or 12 Focus will be on Makeup Artistry not Hairstyling
