COURSE PLANNING FOR SUCCESS The courses offered at Fraser Heights Secondary follow guidelines set out by the Ministry of Education and

the Surrey School Board. The program consists of a combination of core courses and elective courses. The

courses you choose may help you to explore new fields and perhaps find capabilities and interests you never

knew you had.

Selecting elective courses is an important process and should be carried out in consultation with parents.

Because courses with insufficient enrollment will not be offered, it is important that students choose

alternate electives with care.

Please review your graduation program carefully to ensure that you have enough credits to graduate and to

meet the entrance requirements for the post-secondary institution to which you wish to apply.

Please study the contents of this booklet carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to a

school counsellor. BC Ministry of Education Grad Planner

credits, and must complete activities under Community Connections, Personal Health and Career and Life. More information can be found at Grad Transitions Blog

the course is worth four credits, and counts toward the necessary 80 credits of graduation,

but it is not a Grade 12 course;

there will be no percentage for the course but students will get a RM (requirement met) on their transcript which will symbolize the completion of this course;

in order to successfully meet the requirements of this course students must do the following:

a) Community Connections - students must do 30 hours of community involvement. Ideally this would be volunteer work, but it could also be paid work, attending

Meet-an-Expert sessions (they must do at least one of these) and/or other career

related activities such as Trading Up. These hours can be accumulated throughout

the student's years at Fraser Heights. Students must bring in documentation to

show that they have done the 30 hours, this could be a pay stub, a letter from a

supervisor or other items handed in to the Career Centre. Once they have done the 30 hours, a one page reflection sheet (available in the Career Centre) must also be

filled out and submitted.

b) Personal Health - students must complete 150 minutes of physical activity per week in Grades 10, 11 and 12. Physical Activity logs are available from the Career

Centre so that they can chart their physical activity on a regular basis. Students

will be expected to hand these logs in every semester. Once they have\

completed their activity logs, a one page reflection sheet (available in the Career

Centre) must also be filled out and submitted.

c) Career and Life - students must do five things in order to complete this portion of

the course:

research a career using a program like Career Cruising and writing what they

plan to do after graduating from Fraser Heights; reflect on how they meet the attributes of a B.C. Grad;

discuss how they plan to achieve their career goals, including in this some sort

of financial planning and a brochure from the school they plan to attend;

do a website research assignment using the websites web page connected to

this website Career Websites

Program, explore a wide-range of career and post-secondary education and career options, think critically

about health issues and decisions, develop financial literacy skills, and plan actions required to pursue post-

secondary destinations and career paths. Planning 10 provides relevant and experiential learning opportunities, helping students relate their learning in school to the demands of the working world and

expectations of society.

Study and response to the writing process (generating, drafting, revising, editing and publishing). Study and response to the fundamentals of effective writing (grammar, spelling, vocabulary, sentence

structure, paragraph structure, and essay writing).

Students are expected to work both independently and cooperatively. Since students will be learning in an

integrated classroom, they are expected to appreciate and respect the learning styles and varied points of view of other students.

communication, research and media viewing.

ENGLISH 12 (5000 – MEN–12)


English 12 is a mandatory course which all students, except those in English 12 First Peoples or Communications 12, must pass in order to graduate. English 12 draws together the learning experiences of

12 years of schooling, it encourages the development of students’ confidence, independence and appreciation

in the areas of reading, writing, oral communications, viewing and representing. It continues to develop and

enhance students’ appreciation of literature and language. The activities and resources are increasingly more

sophisticated, but are carefully selected to appeal to the range of students’ interests and abilities.

Students will read for a variety of purposes, demonstrate interpretive understanding and critically analyze short stories, novels, poetry, drama (e.g. a Shakespeare play) and nonfiction.

In writing, students will write in a variety of formats employing all stages of the writing process: pre-

writing drafting, editing, proofreading and publishing. Emphasis will be on multi-paragraph

composition.

Students will select and create a variety of representational forms to assist in the expression,

development and extension of ideas.

English 12 is a provincially examinable course. The exam is worth 40% of the student’s final mark.



ENGLISH 12 FIRST PEOPLES (5005 – MEFP-12)


English 12 First Peoples is a new and exciting course that has been developed by the provincial government in

consultation with First Nations and Métis people. It is recognized by the BC Ministry of Education and BC

universities as equivalent to English 12 and can be used to graduate from high school and for university

entrance in BC. (Check university and college websites to verify, especially those outside of BC). English 12 First Peoples is an academically rigorous course that teaches all the skills found in English 12 but the focus

is on the culture and history of First Nations and Métis people and the role they have played in the history of

British Columbia and Canada. Teaching methods and activities will be culturally sensitive.

The teacher may include activities such as listening to a story teller, participating in a traditional healing

circle or listening to a First Nations elder relate stories, legends and myths that have been passed down from

generation to generation for the past 10,000 years. English 12 First Peoples is a provincially examinable course. The exam is worth 40% of the student’s

final mark.

COMMUNICATIONS 11 (4010 – MCOM-11) Prerequisite: English 10 with teacher recommendation

The major goal of Communications 11 is to provide a learning program that will best meet the needs of those

students who display significant weaknesses in the following skills: study, organization, reading, writing, oral

communication, library research, and media viewing. The pace of this course is slower, but the content will

be similar to the regular English 11 program. The course content will generally include:

Study and response to literature (short stories, novels, poetry, plays, and media viewing).

Study and response to the writing process (generating, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing).

Study and response to the fundamentals of effective writing (grammar, spelling, vocabulary, sentence

structure and paragraph structure).

Students are expected to work both independently, and cooperatively. Since students will be learning in an

integrated classroom, they are expected to appreciate and respect the learning styles and varied points of view

of other students.

Assessment and evaluation will be based on projects, presentations, responses, examinations, class

participation, and also improvements related to following skills: study, organization, reading, writing, oral communication, research, and media viewing.

COMMUNICATIONS 12 (5010 – MCOM-12)

Prerequisite: Communications 11 or English 11 Communications 12, an alternative to English 12, is designed for students not proceeding directly to

university. Like English 12, it integrates the skills of reading, writing, oral communication, viewing and

representing. It is intended to develop and enhance students’ appreciation for literature and language. The

activities and resources are increasingly more sophisticated, but are carefully selected to appeal to the range

of students’ interests and abilities. Students will read for a variety of purposes and demonstrate understanding of short stories, novels,

poetry, drama and nonfiction.

Oral communication skills develop an awareness and appreciation of audience, purpose and context.

In viewing, students will study techniques used to convey meaning in visual and mass media.

Students select and create a variety of representational forms to assist in the development and

expression of ideas. Communications 12 is a provincially examinable course. The exam is worth 40% of the student’s final

mark.



CROSSROADS CO-OP (5015 – XAT–12C-1)

Prerequisite: English 10 with teacher recommendation

The Crossroads Program offers students a unique opportunity to complete the English and Social Studies

courses they require for graduation and to gain career experience all in one classroom. Students will spend

the semester working together toward success at school in a learning cohort and will also complete 90 hours

of work experience in the community. Students will complete the following courses to earn 20 credits in one semester:

Communications 11

Communications 12

First Nations 12

Career Transitions 12

Work Experience 12A

Communications 12 is a provincially examinable course. The exam is worth 40% of the student’s final mark. First Nations 12 is a provincially examinable course. The exam is

worth 20% of the student’s final mark.

ENGLISH LITERATURE 12 (5020 – MLIT-12) Prerequisite: A love of literature. Literature 12 is the advanced academic elective course in English and must be taken in conjunction with English 12.

This is a survey course in English literature. It traces the development of English literature

from Anglo-Saxon times to the twentieth century. It includes a study of the social and

historical background, as well as the major writers of each literary period. Students will develop critical skills in evaluating and appreciating English literature, and their

understanding of self and society should increase their knowledge of their cultural heritage.

This course is particularly valuable for students who wish to acquire the wide reading

background and critical skills necessary for university English and Humanities courses, or

who are planning careers in Fine Arts fields such as music, drama or art.

CREATIVE WRITING 12 (5030 – MWR–12)

This course is designed for those who enjoy writing for an audience, those who

write in order to think, those who want an opportunity to share their writing, and those who want to explore a variety of forms of writing by experimenting

and sharing.

Classes will be organized in a workshop format in which the majority of time

will be spent either writing, conferencing with the teacher or other students, or

sharing pieces of writing. Daily lessons will be brief and will focus on areas which suit the needs of the class. Regular feedback will be given during

informal group sharing and conferences. It is expected that during the course

of the workshop students will write regularly in class and at home, finish

pieces of writing in a variety of formats and share their work.

Evaluation will take place in the form of formal conferences, a midterm, and an evaluation at the end of the semester. This evaluation will be based on an

assessment of progress towards goals established during initial conferences, as

well as a portfolio presentation of works selected by the student. Throughout

the course, there will be opportunities to publish work through contests and

outside publications. This course can be used as an academic course for entry

to some university programs including Simon Fraser University.



EEN10 – ENGLISH 10/ELL WRITING 11 (9336 – XAT--10E-4) (3001 – MEN--10 4 credits &

9201 - YESFL1B 4 credits)

ELL students have the opportunity to receive extra time and help in English 10 at Fraser

Heights, because we are offering a course that goes all year - a combination of regular English

10 and ELL writing 11, taught by an English teacher. Students receive credit for both

courses. The course helps students prepare for success in English 11 and 12, and onward

into university. There is extra emphasis placed on speaking skills in the course, and because the course is year-long, the students get more writing practice, and more feedback on their

writing.

Many ELL students in the past have tried to find an easy fast way to pass through English

courses, such as taking them in summer school or on-line, and then have encountered

serious difficulties in English 11 and 12, and with the provincial exam. We hope to change this outcome by offering this course during grade 10, and building for success.

English 10 is a provincially examinable course. The exam is worth 20% of the student’s

final mark.

ELL WRITING 11 (9211 – YESFL1B) (4 Fine Arts/Applied Skills credits)

ELL Writing 11 is for senior students who have acquired English 10 but still need the specific

skills necessary for successful academic writing at the senior levels (English 11 and 12) or

simply desire to improve their writing skills. Mastering writing skills and understanding the

discourse of the academic classroom are the greatest challenges for ELL students attempting to meet graduation requirements.

Current evidence of poor performance by Grade 11 ELL students on district and provincial

writing assessments indicate a need to provide specific instruction in writing skills and

strategies. Without strong writing skills, ELL students will not be able to achieve their full academic potential.

ELL Writing 11 will provide structured support and instruction to bridge the gap between

students’ language abilities and the demands of the regular academic classes. Students will

experience the process of writing through interesting content combined with focused work on

vocabulary, grammar and syntax, and rhetorical patterns. Students will practice expressing information, ideas, and opinions in logical and coherent order and in a variety of written

formats. Students will gain the skills, experience, and confidence necessary to meet the

writing expectations of the senior level English curriculum.



SOCIAL STUDIES Social Studies is a multidisciplinary subject that draws from the social sciences and The overall goal of Social Studies is to develop thoughtful, responsible, active citizens who are able to acquire requisite information to consider multiple perspectives and to defend a position. The curriculum provides students with opportunities as future citizens to critically reflect upon events and issues in order to examine the present, make connections with the past, and consider the future. Through their participation in the social studies courses, students are encouraged to develop an appreciation for democracy, for what it means to be a Canadian and for respect for human equality and cultural diversity. Students will develop the ability to critically evaluate information and practice effective communication.

SOCIAL STUDIES 10 (3200 – MSS–10)

Prerequisite: Social Studies 9 The curricular competencies and course content for the Social Studies 10 course are currently

under review and it is expected that the content portion of the course will remain in its

present form during the 2013-2014 school year. The development of an increasing focus on

the core competencies that are integrated into the Social Studies 8 and 9 courses is already in

progress in the delivery of the Social Studies 10 course and this will continue in the 2013-

2014 school year. The basic objective of the course is to continue to promote the development of critical historical thinking and the course content - 19th century Canada - will be used to

foster this objective. Emphasis will also be placed on the goal of giving students the

knowledge, skills, and competencies to become active, informed citizens through the

integration of the core content with the issues of:

Canadian society and identity,

Canadian and world history,

Canadian and world geography,

Canadian politics and government,

Major economic systems.

Students will continue to be involved in examining broad, open-ended questions so they can make informed decisions on issues based on an understanding of, and use of, the disciplinary

concepts that historians and geographers use to examine topics in their fields. In the process

of using these concepts to examine specific questions, students will be gaining an

understanding of various specific competencies including:

Understanding the process of inquiry, collaboration, and critical thinking.

The construction and defense of an argument with respect to the significance of specific

people, places, events and/or developments.

The examination and use of a variety of sources in conjunction with an evaluation of

their reliability and validity.

The assessment of the similarities and differences involved in different events together

with an examination of the causal interrelationships among events.

The Social Studies 10 course continues the development of student abilities in the core

competencies of “thinking”, “communication”, and “personal and social development”, as each student comes to understand their identity and purpose as members of their communities.

The delivery of the Social Studies curriculum is designed to encourage the development of

critical thinking and problem solving skills; to help students retain and transfer what they

learn to new contexts; and to master the tools of thoughtful, critical, evidence-based historical

understanding. Students will learn to connect new knowledge to what they already know in a flexible learning environment using creative approaches to teaching, learning and assessment

focusing on the “why” rather than simply the “what.”



SOCIAL STUDIES 11 (4200 – MSS–11)

Prerequisite: Social Studies 10 The study of Canada during and after World War I to the end of the 20th century forms the basis for the Social Studies 11 course. The course examines three units of study – History; Government; and Human Geography and Global issues. These three units are used to:

Enable student to become familiar with the rights, responsibilities and practices of active Canadian citizenship;

Explore Canada’s role in the conflicts of the 20th century;

Develop an understanding of key environmental issues and challenges; and

Explore important issues relating to Canada’s evolving identity and contributions to the global community.

Students in the Social Studies 11 course are expected to be active learners and in the process of mastering the course material are encouraged to develop and expand their skills in the areas of critical thinking, research and communication skills and to demonstrate the skills and attitudes of active

citizenship.

Social Studies 11 is a required course for graduation although students may substitute the First Nations Studies 12 course to meet their graduation requirement. The Social Studies 11 course is recommended for any student planning to study History 12, Comparative Civilizations 12, Geography 12, Law or the Global Socials (Global Citizenship, Travel and Inquiry) course.

Social Studies 11 and First Nations Studies 12 are both provincially examinable courses.

The exam is worth 20% of the student’s final mark.

SOCIAL STUDIES 10/11 YEARLONG (4207 – XAT--11--2) (3201 – MSS--10 & 4202 – MSS--11) The combined Social Studies 10 and 11 course will cover the history and development of Canada from 1814 to the present day through an integration of the curriculum organizers for the two courses. The potential of a combined Social Studies 10 and Social Studies 11 course is intended to provide opportunities for students to use the content of the course to develop the skills and processes of social studies and, in particular, to develop skills as:

cooperative and collaborative learners, capable and competent communicators, critical thinkers, developing citizens who understand connections between historical events and current

developments and policies, and as young adults who are aware of and involved in the rights, responsibilities, and practices of

active Canadian citizenship.

The content of the course will be studied on a thematic basis covering the two centuries of the curriculum with a view to understanding the direction that Canada is taking nationally and internationally in key present day activities. Students will be actively engaged in the curriculum through inquiry-based and project-based learning opportunities. The course is designed for students who have or can meet the following criteria:

a level of maturity that will provide the foundation for the expectation of success at the school level and in the requisite Provincial Examination on the Grade 11 course content and skills,

a commitment to the requirements of a year-long course of study, and an acceptable arrangement with respect to the opportunities to participate in the Work

Experience Program.

Social Studies 11 is a provincially examinable course. The exam is worth 20% of the student’s final mark.



BC FIRST NATIONS STUDIES 12 (5250 – MFNS-12)

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Social Studies 10 is strongly recommended. FNS 12 and SS 11 are equal graduation options as part of the BC Dogwood program. (FNS 12 is recognized by Simon Fraser University, The University of British Columbia and The University of Northern British Columbia as a grade 12 course that may be used to calculate the admission average if it is not being used as a Social Studies 11 credit.)

Lively discussions! Hands on activities! FNS 12 is an interesting academic course designed for everyone in Grade 11 or 12. Who really owns the land that makes up British Columbia?

Is it First Nations people who have been here for thousands of years and never legally gave up

ownership or is it the settlers who arrived 200 years ago? Should First Nations bands be able

to form their own government separate from the provincial or federal government? Will

private property be included in the land claims process?

How will the answer to these questions affect us all today? Learn about land claims and the

treaty making process that is in progress right now between the government of Canada,

British Columbia and local First Nations bands. You will also learn about First Nations art,

history and cultural values.

There will be several guest speakers and opportunities for hands on activities. Possible

activities include cedar bark rope or baskets, beading, speakers on residential schools, Metis

culture, fisheries, treaties, and traditional pre-contact artifacts and technology.

Students are encouraged to take both Social Studies 11 and First Nations 12. First Nations 12 can be used as an equivalent course for Social studies 11 if it is not used as a Grade 12

course; however, we do not advise students to take only FNS 12 if they are planning to take

Law 12, History 12 or Geography 12.

First Nations 12 is a provincially examinable course. The exam is worth 20% of the

student’s final mark.

COMPARATIVE CIVILIZATIONS 12 (5210 – MCCN-12)

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Social Studies 11 is strongly recommended.

Have you ever wanted to know more about the many ancient empires and civilizations that

have shaped and influenced world history? Comparative Civilizations 12 (open to both Grade 11 and 12 students) begins with the early history of the world’s most captivating civilizations

such as the ancient Greek and Roman empires, the growth and rise of Islam, and the

fascinating dynasties that shaped China and Japan’s way of life.

In addition to studying events from the past, this course provides students the opportunity to

explore interesting modern-day cultural issues. How have popular musical trends like punk-rock and hip-hop changed how people dress (fashion), think, and behave (values)? Who are

the icons or role models of today’s youth and how do they differ from the heroes/heroines

from the past? In what ways are some of today’s cultural values similar to or different from

those from past civilizations?

Comparative Civilizations 12 course DOES NOT have a provincial exam allowing time for

interesting and thought-provoking assignments, discussion and projects that will refine your

skills and better prepare you for the world that awaits you after high school. This course is

highly recommended for any student wishing to take post-secondary social sciences courses

at any of our colleges and universities.



GEOGRAPHY 12 (5260 – MGEO-12)

Prerequisite: A C+ standing in Social Studies 11 is strongly recommended before entering this course.

This dynamic course explores both physical and human geography under the concepts of

place and location. To understand the physical world (place), the following areas will be

investigated: the formation of landforms, factors affecting weather and climate, erosional and

weathering agents and their continual effect on earth features. The human component

considers how humans affect and are affected by their environment. Areas of study include: resources management [For e.g. Mining, Forestry and Damming]; as well as proactive methods

for conservation and pollution control. Topical issues will be addressed and students will be

expected to research and understand opposing sides of environmental and human issues

before drawing conclusions. Students have the opportunity to learn about location by

studying the use of (GPS) global positioning systems and topographical maps. A field study to Mt. St. Helen’s is planned when there is sufficient interest and numbers to attend.

GLOBAL SOCIALS 12 (GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP, TRAVEL & INQUIRY 12) (5270 – XAT-12-3)

Students will apply historical and geographical thinking skills in an exploration of international

issues involving history; geography; politics; human, social, and environmental interactions; economics; technology; religious, artistic and other cultural expressions; language and travel

literacy generally and as they relate to a specific region or country of study. A variety of

inquiry-based learning approaches will be employed to focus the direction of inquiry on that

region or country and to develop students as informed, knowledgeable global citizens.

Students will combine their areas of study with a focused trip of approximately two weeks duration to the area of study or to an area providing contrasting aspects of study. Significant

cost will be incurred by students and their families in conjunction with the trip portion of the

course and students will need to actively participate in fundraising or otherwise meet the costs

of the trip if they are to participate in this aspect of the course.

An underlying objective of the course is to engage students in gaining mastery of core academic subject matter in conjunction with learning essential 21st century critical thinking, problem

solving, and communication and cooperation skills. The learning in which students are

involved will enable them to become global citizens capable of effecting meaningful change in

their immediate and extended communities.

HISTORY 12 (5200 – MHI–12)

Prerequisite: A C+ standing in Social Studies 11 along with strong research, writing and critical thinking skills is strongly recommended before undertaking this course.

This is a must-take course for those who wish to better understand the events that are

presently shaping our modern world. Students will need to be able to demonstrate graduation

level competency in research, writing and oral presentation skills. Back to Table of Contents


LAW 12 (5230 – MLAW-12) Prerequisite: Social Studies 10 and good critical thinking, writing, and oral skills. Citizens should know their rights and responsibilities. The legal maxim “without knowledge no

right exists”, and the legal principle “ignorance of the law is no excuse” illustrate the extent to

which knowledge of the content of law is presupposed by our legal system. This is a course

that will look at government, criminal law, civil law, family law, contract law through cases,

current events and other items of interest. Highlights of the course may include a trip to the

court house, guest speakers and mock trials. There is a strong emphasis on class discussion and participation. Interested Grade 11 students are encouraged to take this course.

Law 12 may be accepted for university entrance requirements at some post- secondary

institutions.

SOCIAL JUSTICE 12 (5240 – MSJ–12)

Prerequisite: Good critical thinking and writing skills

A society without social justice is not a strong society. A progressive, democratic country values inherent differences in its society and the creation of a caring and fair community. In

Social Justice 12, students will learn to define social justice, recognize and analyze injustice,

and understand movements promoting a socially just world. Areas of focus include peace

education, human rights, ethics, diversity, equity and equality, and oppression, to mention a

few. Further investigation includes a description of and analysis of the causes and consequences of social injustices, and assessment of various models of promoting and

applying social justice.

PROJECT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT 10, 11 AND 12 (http://www.fhlearn.ca/vlees/)

Inquiring, questioning, researching

Problem solving and critical thinking

Creativity and innovation

Communication

Collaboration

Technology embedded

The course seeks to empower students to explore curiosities, talents and interests while

developing leadership skills in a collaboratively supportive environment. The first part of the

course involves improving upon collaboration and communication skills and learning varied

inquiry models (eg. Project-based, problem-based, challenge based learning). For the remainder of the course students will design, research/implement, present and reflect upon

their own “passion projects.”



The class is open to grade 9 – 12 students and their will be great opportunity for students to

develop their decision making skills through lots of choice within their “passion projects.”

Students will need to not only choose their focus, but also consider:

What is their intention? Who might their intended audience be?

How will they best meet the needs of their intentions and their audience?

How will they present?

Will they work independently, in small or large groups?

Reflections: What could I improve upon next time?

Although the structure of the course will be consistent throughout the grade levels, the

leadership focus at each grade level will vary to enable students to continue to take this

course through multiple grades. Students are asked to choose the course appropriate for

their grade. See details below:

SCIENCE ACADEMY (4207 – XAT--12---2) (FRASER HEIGHTS ACADEMY FOR INTEGRATED

MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE) (5113 - PREC--12, 4321 - MCH--11, 5321 - MCH--12, 4331 -- MPH--11) Students must be selected to enroll into this program as it is open to all students in the district. Please visit our website fhtsscienceacademy.ca for program details and important dates regarding selection.

Goal: To allow students in grade 11 and 12 an opportunity to enrich their science experience

in a secondary school setting. This enrichment will include:

Promoting a community of learners to engage in creative and meaningful questions in the field of mathematics and science.

An opportunity for students to better appreciate the process of acquiring scientific knowledge.

Allowing students to inquire, seek answers and defend their findings by effectively communicating their ideas.

Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 11 and a passion for Mathematics and Science

Logistics: The program will require a two-year commitment for the student starting in their

grade 11 year. Each semester, half of their timetable, two blocks (morning or afternoon) will

be designated for the Science Academy. This will continue over the four semesters of their

grade 11 and 12 years. During the other two blocks, students will be timetabled with all other

Fraser Heights students. This will allow students to take English 11 and 12, Social Studies11

and other electives within the school community.



During their two blocks of Science Academy students will be in their cohort with a flexible

instructional schedule designed by their instructors. The two and half hours each day will be

used for lectures, labs, group work and/or independent studies. With this flexible schedule curriculum can be compressed, integration between mathematics and science can be better

achieved and the scientific process can be modeled and reinforced.

Students who complete this program will receive:

- 44 high school credit (equivalent to 11 classes) - Pre-Calculus 12, Chemistry 11 and 12, Physics 11 and 12 (all 4 credits

each)

- AP Calculus BC (8 credits), AP Physics I and II (8 credits)

-University Chemistry equivalent (8 credits)

- 20 University credits (~6 classes)

- AP Calculus BC (6 credits)

- AP Physics I and II (6 credits)

- SFU Chemistry 121 (4credits), 122 (2credits) and 126 (2credits)

Enrollment: Applications for this program can be found at http://fhtsscienceacademy.ca/ as

the deadline is in December of their grade 10 year. Each year 60 grade 11 students will be

accepted into this program and notified in early February. Please visit the website for exact

dates and important updates regarding the application process.

In the first year of study, students will be instructed in Pre-Calculus 12, Chemistry 11 and 12,

Physics 11 and some Physics 12 topics. Along with traditional instruction, an open inquiry

approach to learning will be used in preparation for a Capstone project in the grade 12 year.

This will include the use of technology in a laboratory setting to model the scientific process.

Furthermore field trips will be taken and work experience placements will be offered to students to reinforce the process of acquiring and applying scientific knowledge.

In the second year of study, students will be instructed in AP Calculus BC, Physics 12, AP

Physics I and II and SFU Chemistry 121, 122 and 126. The SFU courses will be instructed by

SFU professors at the Surrey Campus.

Costs to the Students: This is yet to be finalized as there are some factors beyond our

control. However this is a potential list of costs associated with being part of the Science

Academy.

- This fee includes: lab equipment, chemicals over and above what is normally provided and field studies. ~$150 per year

- AP Exams written in grade 12 ~$90

- U-pass during grade 12 year ~$280 for 8 months

The Ministry of Education will be paying for University tuition while taking courses at

SFU. This is a savings of about $1400.

MATHEMATICS FLOW CHART FOR STUDENTS ENTERING MATH 10 – 12



STRUCTURE OF GRADE 8 - 12

MATH COURSES – CURRICULUM BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 2010 All students from Grade 7 entering high school are required to take Math 8 or Math 8

Honours. Students are selected for Math 8 Honours on Grade 7 teachers’ recommendations and testing results.

Students from Mathematics 9 may take Apprenticeship and Workplace 10 or Foundations of

Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10. Apprenticeship and Workplace 10 may be of interest to

students wishing to pursue a career in the trades.

Apprenticeship and Workplace 10 students will continue with Apprenticeship and Workplace

11 and then 12. Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 students need to choose

whether they will take Foundations of Math 11 and 12 or Pre-Calculus 11 and 12.

Students should note that because this is a new Mathematics curriculum, universities and many other post- secondary programs are indicating they will be accepting Foundations of

Mathematics 11 and/or 12 for entry into select programs that do not require Calculus. It is

important that students check with the post- secondary school of their choice to confirm their

PEER TUTORING 12 (5915 - YIPS-2A)

The most effective way to learn is to teach. Peer Tutoring provides students a unique opportunity to examine

and share knowledge and learning strategies. These courses are designed for peer tutors to address the diversity of a given student population and to model and reinforce successful learning behaviours as well as

organizational, study and communication skills.

Students who want to take part in the Peer Tutoring program must:

be in Grades 11 or 12;

be students who are willing to help support younger students; be excellent role models;

be recommended by at least two teachers or staff; and

maintain a C+ or better GPA.

the teacher-librarian, this course provides students with an opportunity to practice work related skills in

dealing with the public. Students will also be given an opportunity to explore library or information related

careers.

WORK EXPERIENCE 12A (7100 - MWEX-2A)

Work experience is intended to meet the needs of students by preparing them for the transition from

secondary school to the world of work or further training and education. Work Experience allows students to

connect what they learn in school with the skills and knowledge needed in the work place and society in general. Through work experience opportunities, the community provides a “classroom” where students are

able to gain knowledge and experience about the work place and their own careers. Students must complete

100 hours of work, and if they are successful they will gain four Grade 12 credits, a Career Diploma in one of

eight designated areas of study, and valuable experience for their resume.

WORK EXPERIENCE 12B (7102 - MWEX-2B)

Students who are successful in WEX12A can take an additional course that provides four more credits and a

second Career Diploma. The expectations of this course are the same as they would be for WEX12A. This is

a good option for those students who decide on a career path after they have completed their first work experience.

types of support available to you include:

1. Peer Tutors: Peer Tutors are students in Grades 11-12 with a C+ average or better who

want to help students in the younger grades be successful. Peer tutors are trained by the LST department and then placed in classes to work with any students who are struggling.

This course offers students a chance to give back to the Fraser Heights community and

step beyond their usual role as students to take on more responsibility as mentors in the

classroom. In addition, Peer tutors are also available for all students during lunch from

11:30 am to 12:00 pm for Homework Club.

The goal of the B.A.S.E.S. program is to prepare students for the working world and independent living within

the community.

Functional academics, life skills, social skills, community skills and employment skills are the main focus of

the B.A.S.E.S. program.

Increase positive identity and sense of belonging for all Aboriginal learners;

Increase knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal History, traditions, and cultures for all learners; and

Increase achievement for Aboriginal learners.

FINANCIAL AWARDS INFORMATION

Each year, hundreds of Surrey high school students apply for scholarships and other forms of financial aid in order to pursue their interests and studies at the post-secondary level. Many of these students choose to expand their educational horizons by participating in a wide variety of specialized programs, ranging from student exchanges and youth conferences to work-study programs. Others invest time, energy and expertise in preparing for contests and competitions designed specifically for the benefit of secondary students. Information on financial opportunities can be accessed from a variety of sources. School counselling staff and/or individuals from a Scholarship Committee will circulate information on scholarship opportunities during the course of the school year. Students should review the Fraser Heights website Firehawks.ca to gain a broad perspective of existing scholarship and contest possibilities. Students are also encouraged to consult university and college calendars for additional information on scholarships and specific criteria. The following information highlights a few of the many scholarship opportunities that are available:

GRADE 12 GRADUATION PROGRAM EXAMINATIONS SCHOLARSHIP ($1000 or $2500)

Graduation Program Examinations Scholarships will be awarded based on students’ performance on the

Graduation Program Exams. These revisions are intended to recognize students’ academic excellence across

the suite of graduation provincial exams. For students graduating on or after September 1, 2012, the

following rules apply:

A student will receive a $1000 Examinations Scholarship if he or she:

Writes and passes one exam in each of the five (5) provincial exam categories from grades 10-12.

Achieves at least a “B” (73% or above) final mark (provincial exam and school mark combined) in one of the Language Arts 12 (Communications 12, English 12, Francais langue premiere 12, or English 12

First Peoples).

Must have a final course mark (course and exam combined) for the exam to be counted towards scholarship.

Ranks among the top 5,000 scholarship students in BC (based on their percentage score).

AP scores do not count towards scholarship.

Students must meet the BC graduation requirements for either the 2004 Grad Program or the Adult Grad Program.

A student will receive a $2500 Examinations Scholarship if he or she:

Meets all the qualifications for the Graduation Program Examinations Scholarship;

Ranks among the top twenty scholarship students in BC (based on their percentage score)

Any student who achieves a perfect score (100%) in each of three provincial exams from grades 10 – 12 (exam

mark) will also be awarded an Academic Medal of Excellence.

A student can receive only one Graduation Program Examinations Scholarship in their lifetime. A student

can receive both a Graduation Program Examinations Scholarship and a Dogwood District/Authority Award in the same year.

Rewriting Required Provincial Examinations for Scholarship

Students may rewrite a provincial exam once within the 12-month period following the first attempt at the examination. The 12 months are inclusive (e.g., from the June examination session, one year through to the

June examination session of the next year). To rewrite a provincial examination more than once, a student

must retake the course.

Students will qualify for an Exam Scholarship only the year in which they graduate. Students wishing to

improve their exam score for any first attempt exams taken in any of the June 2012 to June 2013 examination sessions must rewrite their exam by August 31, 2013 in order to qualify for the exam

scholarship.

UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE SCHOLARSHIPS (up to $30,000)

Students apply directly to various post-secondary institutions for consideration based on the Grade Point

Average and extra-curricular involvement in athletics, the arts, community service and student government.

Additional entrance scholarships require nominations from high school staff.

SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS, BURSARIES AND AWARDS

Students are considered for a variety of school-based and community awards based largely on Grade Point

Average and extra-curricular involvement in athletics, the arts, student government and community service. In some cases, citizenship, humanitarianism, special needs and/or contribution to specific programs are an

integral part of the scholarship and award. The Surrey School District administers several scholarships and

bursary opportunities to its graduates called Partners 36 Scholarship. This is made possible through the

contributions of individuals, corporations and community service organizations. Application forms are

available at your school and submitted to your school’s scholarship contact each year.



PASSPORT TO EDUCATION

In the past, the Passport to Education Program recognized and rewarded student achievement in Grades 10,

11 and 12 in a broad range of academic and non-academic areas according to guidelines set out by the

Ministry of Education. Over the past 2 school years, the award program has been going through a phase out process. The final year of the program is the 2014 – 2015 school year. The Grade 12 award of $500.00 is the

only remaining award. The award is designed to be used to further students’ post-secondary education and

job training.

The stamps are cumulative to a maximum of $1000 by Grade 12. Passport awards must be redeemed within five years from September 30th of a student’s expected graduating year from high school.

For Grade 12’s to qualify for a passport to education, students must meet the basic eligibility requirements

outlined by the Ministry of Education on the Passport to Ed website. In addition, the passport awards will be

determined based on course grades in the student’s best five provincially authorized or board authorized four-

credit courses. Please consult your school-based Counselling Department or Student Services Centre for additional information

on financial opportunities.
