Course Planning

Course planning for the 2024/2025 school year begins in February. Counsellors will be communicating with students and parents to discuss course selection along with graduation and post-secondary entrance requirements. Students and parents are encouraged to participate in these meetings and to then carefully review their choices together in order to make wise decisions. Planning carefully for a successful graduation and to maximize post-secondary opportunities is critical.
