There are several new courses that are offered for students entering grade 10 next year.
Basic Car Care 11: Open to students in grades 10 to 12, this is a general interest course directed towards anyone with limited knowledge about cars. The course will deal more with the maintenance rather than the repair of your car, and may be of special interest to those who are thinking about purchasing a vehicle. Topics covered in this class includes: vehicle ownership, maintenance practices, power train, body and chassis, as well as electrical and electronic systems. For more information, please contact Mr. Cameron.
Astronomy 11: This course is an introduction to astronomical techniques, theories and features in the universe. Topics covered include: night sky observation, solar system components, stellar and planetary formation, evolution and classifications of stars, star clusters and black holes, galaxy structure and formation, extraterrestrial life, etc. The course has a significant math component in it. Students considering signing up for this course should have completed science 10 and foundations of math and pre-calculus 10, or should at least be taking these courses concurrently. For more information, please contact Mr. Hengeveld.
PE 10 - Outdoor Education Option: This course gives students the physical education 10 credit required for graduation. The emphasis of the course is to introduce students to alternative physical activities outside of traditional PE programs, with an additional focus on environment and sustainability. Activities in the course include: backpacking, kayaking, orienteering, rock climbing, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, trail running, etc. A willingness to be in the outdoors is a requirement for admission. Students must be willing to challenge their physical and emotional self. For more information, please contact Mr. Kuniss.
