Welcome to Grade 12 Trojans!
An exciting year lies ahead! Graduation will soon be upon you!
To help us to help you, current Grade 11 students are asked to fill in the Grade 11 Career/Life Planning Pathways Questionnaire (you will need to be logged into your Google account to access it!) prior to starting course selection in January 2025.
Preparing to select your courses for 2025-2026
Start with discussing your pathway plans and goals with your parents/caregivers. If you have any questions, ask your guidance counsellor or teachers. Use the information and links contained on this webpage to do your research.
myBlueprint is key to helping you plan your pathway. Be sure you log into your account and use the resources within the site to help you.
Once you’ve finalized all your course selections, you will submit these choices in myBlueprint (due to open in January 2025 – we will let you know!)
Step 1: Choose Your Compulsory Courses
Students are required to take enough courses Grade 12 to ensure you have completed your 30 credits in order to graduate. You must take a minimum of 3 courses in each semester in order to be considered a full time student and therefore you should plan on taking a minimum of 6 courses.
By your Grade 12 year, you should only still need to take English as a compulsory course. However, if you have missed taking another compulsory credit, now is the time to ensure that you have covered all requirements (e.g. Groups 1,2,3 credits).
- English – ENG4CI/ENG4EI/ENG4UI (college/workplace/university)
- NOTE: Students registered in INNOVATE should take Innovate English (designated by the sixth character of “N” – ENG4UN)
- NOTE: Students in Extended French must also select FEF4UI – consult your guidance counsellor if you think you need to still complete any other outstanding Extended French credits
When you move into the final year of secondary school, your post-secondary plans must be considered as you will be choosing the level of programming based on your desired pathway. You should check your prerequisites carefully to ensure that you have successfully completed the prerequisite courses at the appropriate level to prepare you for the Grade 12 courses you are choosing. Your guidance counsellor will be checking this and will make adjustments to your course selections if you do not have the proper prerequisites.
**Now is the time to be very thoughtful in your selections – senior courses fill up quickly and there are often a limited number of sections (classes) available. If you have any questions about your course selections and how they might impact your pathway planning/post-secondary destination, book an appointment with your guidance counsellor!
Step 2: Choose Your Elective Courses
There are different levels of elective courses:
College Pathway (designated by a “C” as the fifth character – e.g. HFA4CI)
University/College Pathway (designated by an “M” as the fifth character – e.g. BBB4MI)
University Pathway (designated by a “U” as the fifth character – e.g. HSP3UI)
Workplace Pathway (designated by an “E” as the fifth character – e.g. CHM4EI)
Open Level (designated by an “O” as the fifth character) courses are still offered, and are just that: open to everyone to take!
As with compulsory courses, the elective courses may have prerequisites depending on the level you are selecting. Be sure you know that you have the required prerequisite before selecting a senior level course at the various levels.
This is the year where you have lots of freedom in your selections. You can use electives to complete the required number of credits you need in order to graduate, or you can continue to explore various subject areas that interest you. You can also choose Grade 11 courses as well if you wish.
