  3. Graduation Requirements The Credit System High school students (Grades 10, 11, 12) operate on a credit system. For each class successfully completed, you earn one credit. Students require a minimum of 24 credits to graduate from Grade 12. 16 classes (credits) are compulsory for the English program. Therefore, students have a minimum of 8 electives. 17 courses (credits) are compulsory for the French Immersion program. Therefore, students have a minimum of 7 electives. French Immersion Students must have a minimum of 12credits in French Immersion classes/courses

  4. Graduation Requirements English Program English Language Arts A10, B10, 20, A30 & B30 Native Studies 10 or History 10, Canadian Studies 30 and one other social science elective at the 20 or 30 level Science 10 and a science at the 20 level A Math 10 and a Math 20 Christian Ethics/Catholic Studies 10, 20 & 30 Wellness 10 or a Physical Education credit at the 20 or 30 level *At least 5 credits must be 30-level 10 = grade 10 courses 20 = grade 11 courses 30 = grade 12 courses

  5. Graduation Requirements French Immersion Program English Language Arts A10 or B10, 20, A30 or B30 Français 10, 20, 30 Histoire 10, Sciences Sociales 30 and a social science at the 20 or 30 level (Histoire 20 is recommended) Sciences Naturelles Fr 10 and a science at the 20 level A Mathématiques 10 and 20 Étudescatholiques10, 20 & 30 Mieux-Être 10/Wellness 10or Physical Ed. 20 or 30 *At least 5 credits must be 30-level 10 = grade 10 courses 20 = grade 11 courses 30 = grade 12 courses

  6. 3 year Plan Social Science 20 or 30 Wellness 10 or Phys.Ed 20 or 30

  7. Advanced Placement • University Prep in: • AP ELA A30 & AP ELA B30 • AP Calculus 30 & AP Integral Calculus 30 • AP Psychology 20 & AP Psychology 30 • Can take this in grade 11 • AP Studio Art 30L & AP Visual Art 30 • AP Computer Science 30 (*teacher mentorship) • AP French 30 (*teacher mentorship) • AP Spanish 30 (*teacher mentorship) • Most AP classes take two semesters to complete and grant two high school credits. The university level final exam is written in May. Achieving a mark of 4 or 5 on the AP Exam may result in university 100-level credit. • More Rigorous: • More homework • More reading • More commitment

  8. Grade 10-12 Mathematics Pathways Workplace and Apprenticeship 10 Foundations of Mathematics & Pre-Calculus 10 Workplace and Apprenticeship 20 Foundations of Mathematics 20 Pre-Calculus20 Pre-Calculus30 Workplace and Apprenticeship 30 Foundations of Mathematics 30 Calculus or AP Calculus 30

  9. Workplace Pathway Workplace and Apprenticeship Math will be offered in the second semester. This math class should be taken by students who know that their career and post-secondary path requires this math. Students taking this math, can also take any other math course offered in semester one. A second semester offering allows students that struggle in math with a second chance to earn a math if they are not successful in semester one math. Grade 10 Grade 11 Grade 12

  10. Careers in Trades with Workplace and Apprenticeship Math:

  11. Career Options (non trades) with Workplace & Apprenticeship Math: Human Resources Management Certificate Hotel/Restaurant Administration Integrated Resource Manager (60%) Law Enforcement Media Arts Production Occupational Health & Safety Office Education Primary Care Paramedic Recreation/Tourism Manager (60%) Rehab Worker Resource & Environmental Law (60%) Retail Management – Grocery Therapeutic Recreation Vocational Forestry Library Technician Sustainable Tourism Addictions Counselling Renovations Photography Commercial Pilot Computer Network Technician (60%) Continuing Care Correctional Studies Early Childhood Education Educational Assistant Entrepreneurship/Small Business Film, Video, New Media Food Services Forest Ecosystem Technology (60%) Funeral Services Graphic Communications Geographic Information Science (60%)

  12. Foundations Pathway (suggested)

  13. Calculus Pathway (suggested)

  14. Calculus AP Pathway (suggested)

  15. Science Pre-Requisites Health Science 20 Biology 30 Earth Science 30 Environmental Science 20 Science 10 Physics 30 Physical Science 20 Chemistry 30 Computer Science 30 Computer Science 20

  16. Learning Online Options: • Students must meet with an Administrator to develop an academic plan. • Parental permission is needed to take these courses.

  17. Other Options: *Note: Students are responsible for their own transportation

  18. Regina Trades and Skills Centre TASCAP TRADES AND SKILLS CONSTRUCTION APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM (Offered in both semesters – full time: 5 credits) Grade 11 is the best time to participate in this program

  19. What happens if students failed a class this year? Options: • Summer School online – Regina Catholic ($400) or Saskatoon Catholic ($400) • Summer School – in class through Regina Public School Division ($185-$310) • Retake the course at LeBoldus in the 2018-2019 academic year

  20. Why is it so important to pick your classes carefully? The classes students choose now, will determine how many sections (classes) we make for each course. These classes also determine which careers an individual can go into when he/she is done high school.

  21. Planning For The Future Students who are undecided about their education, career or life direction should: Get to know themselvesby assessing their knowledge, and skills. Think about their interests, personality and values. Do an interest inventory (Strong Interest Inventory) or utilize www.myBlueprint.ca

  22. Planning For The Future • Try more electives or get more involved in school clubs and projects. • Visit Student Services & listen to announcements about Career Fairs, Post-Secondary Workshops or Spend-A-Day Programs. • Re-Evaluate their Direction by keeping options open and re-assessing them each year.
