Steinbach Regional Secondary School 

MISSION STATEMENT: 

Preparing Today’s Students 

for Tomorrow’s Challenges 

The Steinbach Regional Secondary School is located on 190 McKenzie Avenue near the south side of 

the city of Steinbach. 

Planned by the Hanover School Division Board, in cooperation with representatives from the Seine River, 

Red River, and Boundary School Boards, and financed jointly by the Federal and Provincial governments 

on a cost-sharing basis, the school provides instruction in academic, vocational, business and transition 

programs. 

Built and furnished at a cost of over four million dollars in 1972, the Steinbach Regional Secondary 

School is a modern two storey structure having a floor area of approximately 152,000 square feet, and is 

designed to accommodate 1350 students in Grades 10, 11, and 12 and in Transition Education. 

Renovations to the kitchen were made and a new band room and transition area with 2 classrooms and 2 

labs were added in the fall of 1996. 

The Steinbach Regional Secondary School is a comprehensive high school. It offers secondary education 

for high school age students in Steinbach and area and includes students from neighbouring towns. It 

has all the necessary facilities and equipment, including trained personnel, for a wide range of technical 

programs. There are a variety of programs for students of differing abilities. 

The school provides the following educational alternatives. 

1. An academic program of varying difficulty levels - to meet either post secondary entrance or 

general education requirements. 

2. A combined technical and general academic program designed for entry directly into the work 

force or post secondary institutions. 

3. A Cooperative education program and High School Apprenticeship Program. 

4. A Transition program for students with special education needs. 

The semester system and individualized timetabling allow students considerable freedom in subject and 

program selections. Furthermore, the introduction of designated levels permits students to choose 

courses and programs especially geared to their individual interests and abilities. A spacious library, 

seminar rooms, computers and other technological aids all help to encourage teaching-learning 

approaches which stress individual initiative and application. 

Although provision is made to teach marketable skills in a real on-the-job atmosphere in well-equipped 

shops, every effort is made to ensure that students also get a broad general education. All students 

receive an ample grounding in English, social studies, mathematics, science and physical education. In 

addition, students are given opportunity to participate in music and drama.

SCHOOL PROGRAM 

The basic philosophy of the Steinbach Regional Secondary School is to provide opportunities for all 

students to select courses to meet their individual needs and abilities. Depending upon the interest and 

ability of the individual and his/her plans for further education, students may choose from seven basic 

types of programs offered. 

1. Academic: This program is primarily designed for students wishing a general liberal arts high school 

or specialized education. The main subjects would include English, Math, Science, Languages, Social 

Sciences, and other related subjects. This type of program could prepare a student to enter university, 

college, or other institutions for advanced education. Students have the flexibility to concentrate their 

studies in humanities, sciences, mathematics, arts or music. Students should be sure they meet 

requirements for post-secondary study. Students may choose one of three program concentrations under 

this major. 

2. Business Education: This is a program which deals with business experience both for specialized 

vocational use and for general use, and may lead directly to an office or business career. Its main aims 

are: to offer specialized training in a useful and marketable skill in a certain business area, to provide 

training for intelligent participation in business life as a consumer and to develop better citizens by 

providing social and economic understanding in order to utilize human and material resources for the best 

interests of our nation. To establish a foundation for further training four Business Education majors are 

offered at SRSS: Accounting, Administrative Assistant, Entrepreneurship, and Marketing. 

3. Vocational Technical: These are three-year programs designed to provide pre-employment 

experience in specific trades and occupations, plus a good general education for citizenship. One half of 

the time is spent on general education subjects including English, Math, Science, Language, Social 

Science, and related subjects. The other half of the time is spent in the shop or laboratory working with 

the tools, machines, and materials relating to the area chosen. Upon satisfactory completion of the 

vocational industrial program, the graduate will have a high school standing and should have developed 

vocational, cultural, and social competencies and will be ready to enter the work force, go to an institute 

of technology, or, perhaps, to a university. Eleven Vocational Industrial programs and a cluster of 

information science courses are offered at SRSS: Building Construction, Collision Repair and Refinishing, 

Culinary Arts, Electrical, Environmental/Agriculture Studies, Esthetics, Hairstyling, Human Ecology, 

Industrial Design, Power Mechanics, and Welding. 

4. Individualized Adapted Vocational/Academic: These programs have been prepared for students 

unable to benefit from the regular curriculum at the secondary school level. The program is designed to 

meet the needs of students who have completed the Junior High adapted programs as well as those 

students who may transfer into the course from the regular school program. This program combines basic 

general education with occupational skill training to prepare a student to move directly into the work force. 

It does not qualify him/her to enter post-secondary institutions. Eight Vocational Occupational programs 

are offered at SRSS: Building Construction, Collision Repair and Refinishing, Culinary Arts, 

Environmental/Agriculture Studies, Hairstyling, Human Ecology, Power Mechanics, and Welding. 

Modified programs are only available to students with IEPs and/or Counsellor consultant information. 

5. Cooperative Education: Cooperative Education involves co-operation of the school and community 

to provide an educational program for students. Participants are provided with learning experiences both 

in the community and in the classroom. Students successfully completing courses receive high school 

credits for their work experience. This option works in conjunction with the Academic, Business, Tech 

Prep, Technical, and General Education programs. 

6. Apprenticeship Option: The High School Apprenticeship Program integrates school-based 

education and workplace training through employment. Students will keep a log of their activities and 

time spent at the workplace. The teacher/coordinator, the workplace supervisor and the student will 

share evaluation. Each high school credit will involve 110 hours of documented time-on-task as verified 

by the workplace supervisor. Employee benefits, wages and workers compensation are the responsibility 

of the employer. Upon successful completion of Grade 12, students participating in the High School 

Apprenticeship Program will receive a Senior Years Technology Program diploma and may also receive 

credit for having completed as much as the first level of an apprenticeship training program.

SRSS Resource Department 

All students learn in different ways. The role of the resource department is to assist with drawing out the 

gifts and skills students have so that they can be successful. 

There are four main areas: 

‣ Transitions- for students requiring individualized programming and transitioning them into the 

workplace. 

‣ Modified programming - for students requiring modifications to their courses. 

‣ Course adaptations 

‣ The resource team will assist teachers in identifying needs, providing and monitoring 

programming. 

Resource teachers facilitate programming for students requiring adaptations, modifications or 

individualization to their programs. Resource teachers also provide a variety of resources and supports 

for students and teachers. Communication with parents or guardians is a vital part of effective 

programming. A tutorial centre is also available for students that need assistance with coursework, 

homework or need a supervised area to work. 

SEMESTER SYSTEM: 

The SRSS operates on a semester system. The school year is divided into two equal blocks of time, 

running from September through January, and from February through June. Students should take four 

courses in each semester. 

CREDIT SYSTEM: 

As a method of providing flexibility, a credit system is being used. A total of 32 credits, in Grade 9 - 12, 

are required for a SRSS high school graduation diploma. Students may participate in the grad ceremony 

and reception with a 30 credit program if they have met provincial requirements. 

A credit is defined as one subject that is designed for 110 hours of instruction. 

Students will only be allowed to take 10 credits per year (11 if in Band or Choir): 5 per semester (5.5 with 

band or choir). Any exceptions must be approved by Administration. 

COMPULSORY ACADEMIC SUBJECTS 

To insure that graduates have received a sound high school program, basic minimum academic credits 

are required for graduation. These credits include both those required by the Province of Manitoba for 

graduation and the SRSS. Credit requirements in Grade 10 - 12 are as follows: 

History of Canada 1 credit Grade 11 

English Language Arts 3 credits Grade 10, 11, 12 

Mathematics 3 credits Grade 10, 11. 12 

Physical Education/Health 3 credits Grade 10, 11, 12 

Science 1 credit Grade 10 

Geography 1 credit Grade 10 

Compulsory Credits 

12 credits 

The remaining credits are taken to satisfy the requirements of the program major and electives to 

a total of 32 credits for graduation. This total includes 8 credits for Grade 9. 

Students selecting adapted individualized programs may graduate upon completing 30 credits. 

Private music, professional ballet, cadets, community service, SIC and SIP credits may be used 

for graduation requirements. 

- 7 -

SUBJECT PROMOTION 

A qualifying system exists along with the credit system. Subject promotion affects those students who 

are not successful in a particular subject at any given level. Failure in a compulsory subject makes it 

necessary to repeat that subject or the subject at another phase level before a credit may be received. 

COURSE CODES 

Our course code uses a six-character, alpha-numeric code. The first three letters identify the subject 

area. The fourth number represents the grade level. The fifth number identifies the credit value of the 

course. The sixth character (alpha) identifies the school course designation.

PROGRAM MAJORS 

While it is recognized that flexibility of choice is desirable, it is found necessary for each student to have a 

concentration in one specific area of study. To do this, students select a Program Major, which will give 

them the skills and background which best suits their educational goals. 

Depending upon enrolment the program majors offered are: 

Academic Electrical Human Ecology 

Accounting Entrepreneurship Industrial Design 

Administrative Assistant Environmental/Agricultural Marketing Education 

Building Construction Esthetics Music 

Collision Repair and Refinishing Hairstyling Power Mechanics 

Culinary Arts High School Apprenticeship Program Welding & Metal Fabrication 

 

Any of the above may include a work experience component 

PROGRAM SELECTION 

In general, students qualify for a program by receiving a satisfactory standing in the subject at the 

previous level. Thus a student may enrol in a course or program of the same designation or level as the 

prerequisite course or the qualifying program. However, a student whose marks are under 55% may be 

advised to change courses or move into a less difficult level. Students whose marks are in the 75% plus 

range may qualify for a course at a higher level of difficulty, provided they meet the prerequisites for that 

course. 

Students should select their programs to meet their educational objectives. Examples of the common 

goals are: 

‣ Entrance to Specialized Training Schools 

‣ Entrance to Technical schools 

‣ Entrance to Universities 

‣ Entrance to Apprenticeship programs and trades 

‣ Entrance to Direct Employment 

NOTE: A graduation certificate does NOT guarantee admission to further education. It is the responsibility of the 

student to see that he/she is earning the credits that will admit him/her to the post-secondary program of their choice. 

Please consult the latter pages of this book or your Guidance Counsellor for further information. 

EVALUATION AND STANDARDS 

Each course has definite objectives as set out in the course description. Upon graduation, 

students will receive a transcript that will indicate exactly what credits have been earned and the program 

in which they have been earned. As these are permanent records and will be required by post-secondary 

education institutions as well as most prospective employers, it will be in the best interest of each student 

to strive for a high level of achievement in the course and program in which he/she is enrolled. 

Courses with a Provincial exam will show the exam mark as well. 

The Grading System used at the SRSS is primarily percentage numbers. The following may also 

be used: NC - No Credit, INC-Incomplete, NA-Not Applicable, CO-Complete (primarily used for 

Gr. 11 & 12 Phys. Ed), S-Standing for Out of Province credits and Special Language credits.

SRSS GRADUATION DIPLOMA REQUIREMENTS 

Upon successful completion of all the requirements of the major for which the student has enrolled, 

he/she will receive a SRSS Graduation Certificate indicating his/her major area of concentration. The 

minimum standard required at the SRSS is 32 credits. All majors have the following academic subject 

requirements. 

COMPULSORY ACADEMIC SUBJECTS 

History of Canada 1 credit Science 1 credit 

English Language Arts 3 credits Geography 1 credit 

Mathematics 3 credits Compulsory Credits 12 credits 

Physical Education/Health 

3 credits 

SPECIAL GRADUATION RECOGNITION: 

If the student has enrolled and successfully completed a minimum of two (2) credits over and above 

graduation requirements then he/she may be awarded a High School Merit Graduation Diploma. If a 

student receives an overall average of 80% or more during his/her high school career he/she is awarded 

a High School Laureate Graduation Diploma. 

BLACK AND GOLD HONOUR ROLL 

All students with a weighted average of 80% or more, calculated from Term 1 and Term 2 of each 

semester, are placed on the Black and Gold Honour Roll. The names are posted in the corridor and are 

published in The Carillon newspaper twice per semester. 

OTHER CREDITS 

Community Service (Student Initiated Program) - A student may earn a maximum of one (1) credit 

over the entire senior years program using the Community Service SIP credit opportunity. This credit can 

be at the Grade 9 to Grade 12 level and can be counted towards graduation. 

Challenge Credit - Students may, in exceptional circumstances, have already acquired the knowledge, 

skills and attitudes of a particular course. Challenge for credit opportunity provides a process for students 

to demonstrate they have achieved learning outcomes as defined by Manitoba curriculum for a directly 

related course. 

Substitute Credits - Substitution of up to two compulsory credits is allowable in rare circumstances as 

long as certain guidelines are adhered to. Substitution is made for students having exceptional 

circumstances and is generally made with an equal or higher level course in a similar or related subject 

area. 

Dual credits allow students to obtain credit for high school graduation and post-secondary credit. These 

are credit opportunities unique to individual schools and are subject to a school’s ability to have 

articulated agreements. Dual credits can be University (U) or College (C) based. 

Considerable policy and regulations exist for students who wish to pursue any of these credits. Students 

should check with their appropriate school grade level guidance counsellor for further information, 

procedures and graduation requirements.

SRSS CO-CURRICULAR RECORD PROGRAM 

What is a CCR? 

The SRSS Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is a school program and cap-stone document that supports and 

recognizes student activities that involve service, mentorship, and leadership both in the school and wider 

community. 

What is the purpose of the CCR? 

The purpose of the CCR program is to encourage, support and recognize student involvement and 

learning derived from school and community-initiated volunteer experience. CCR related activities 

complement academic involvement and achievement and further personal growth and development while 

benefiting our community. The CCR is intended to act as a bridging tool that connects students to a 

variety of activities in a variety of contexts, enabling a widely diverse community involvement; with 

multiple connections to different people, activities, and organizations. 

What are the benefits of the CCR? 

The CCR will give students a school-generated document that records their involvement in volunteer 

activities during their time at the SRSS. It will enable students to clearly communicate both the depth and 

breadth of their co-curricular experiences to post-secondary institutions, employers and scholarship 

providers. Student involvement in the CCR program will also contribute to their understanding of their 

own strengths and weaknesses and perhaps nudge them in a life or career direction that they would not 

otherwise have considered. The CCR will also contribute to the existing culture of student involvement 

and community service at the SRSS and in the South East Manitoba community at large and promote the 

development of new initiatives that reach beyond the school and local community. 

What are the guidelines for CCR recognition? 

1. The activity should provide students with meaningful learning opportunities or life experiences. 

2. The activity should be co-curricular and therefore not required for any other academic credit. 

3. The activity should support experiences that benefit the widest number of people (ie. activities that 

would be considered to be inclusive rather than exclusive). 

4. The activity must be recognized by the CCR school representative. 

5. The activity hours must be recorded within the semester that they occur and participation hours must 

have occurred over the student’s four years in high school. 

Who can I contact with questions? 

The CCR school representative at the SRSS is Darcey Steiner (dsteiner@hsd.ca)

VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES 

CU CHANGE 

CU Change is a student-initiated volunteer 

group that serves the community of Steinbach 

and the South Eastman region. CU change 

volunteers help out on a variety of projects that 

change from year to year but all share the focus 

of reaching out to others in the community at 

large. Initiatives range from volunteer service at 

the hospital, food drives and fundraisers to 

awareness campaigns. 

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS 

Community volunteers are those students that 

work directly with outside (non-school) agencies 

on an un-paid basis. These volunteer activities 

vary greatly. Some examples from the Steinbach 

area would include; MCC, personal care homes 

and Steinbach 55 plus. 

ENVIRONMENT CLUB 

The SRSS environment club is a collection of 

students that are motivated to change their 

world. Students in the environment club are 

constantly examining their personal impact on 

the environment and their use of resources with 

responsibility and sustainability in mind. 

PEER MENTORING 

The Peer Mentorship program at the SRSS is 

about making connections with other students. 

Students will aid counselling staff in hosting 

school events and will serve as part of the front 

line for students that are in need of help. Peer 

mentors should be comfortable relating to and 

sharing with other students in a one-on-one 

setting or in small groups. 

PEER TUTORING 

Peer tutors help their fellow students who may 

be struggling in their academic subjects. Peer 

tutors operate out of three locations, two are 

here at the school in L1 and G8 (resource class 

rooms), the other location is at the Steinbach 

Junior High. Peer tutors should have a good 

grasp of the subject material in their core 

courses and a willingness to help. 

PHILANTHROPY 101 

Philanthropy 101 is a student group focussed on 

what they can do for their fellow humankind. 

Philanthropy literally means “mankind loving”. 

Every year the school is given a $2,000 grant 

from the Loewen Foundation. Students 

brainstorm to create a list of values and then 

interview various charities that match up with 

those values. The group comes to a consensus 

about which charity should receive the funds, 

and a celebration dinner is held at the end of the 

program, allowing the various schools involved 

to share their philanthropic journey and to 

celebrate the heart of giving. 

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 

Do you want a chance at the experience of a 

lifetime? An SRSS social responsibility group 

might be for you. Developed through community 

partnerships and school-based groups (like CU 

change) social responsibility initiatives take 

students to places they would not have dreamed 

they could go. One recent initiative that has 

involved SRSS students and staff is the 

Manitoba-to-Ecuador project. 

SPIRIT COMMITTEE 

The SRSS Spirit committee is a group of 

students committed to making the SRSS school 

experience the very best it can be. To that end 

they are involved in planning and putting on 

school events that both entertain and inspire 

students to yet higher levels of school spirit. 

SPORTS LEADERSHIP 

The Sports leadership group assists the phys ed 

staff in the promoting, hosting and documenting 

the variety of sporting events that occur at the 

SRSS over the course of the school year. 

Students might be linesmen, score-keepers, 

team managers or videographers. Sports 

leaders support SRSS athletics in many ways. 

STUDENT COUNCIL 

The SRSS student council is a group of student 

leaders who represent the student body’s wants 

and desires for their school. The student council 

fundraises for special projects through events 

like the Christmas Toy Drive and talent shows. 

It is open to all students who want to make a 

difference for others in both our school and the 

wider community. Student council is overseen 

by staff advisors, but the events are planned and 

put on by the students themselves. 

STUDENT VOICE 

The student voice group also represents the 

general student body. This group is randomly 

selected for the breadth of their opinions and 

can impact school policy based on their 

feedback in voluntary surveys. In the past, 

students have also given presentations to 

teachers and the school board about their 

school experiences. 

SWAT 

The SWAT team is a student group that gives 

information sessions about the dangers of 

smoking and serves as a peer advisor group for 

those who have quit the habit or desire to quit 

sometime in the future. SWAT stands for 

Students Working Against Tobacco.

QUESTIONSANSWERSQUESTIONSANSWERSQUESTIONSANSWERS 

1. How big is the SRSS? We currently have approximately 1250 students in the school. 

2. Is attendance important at the SRSS? Yes, attendance is carefully tracked at the SRSS. 

Students who attend classes regularly generally do well in school. If you skip classes you may be 

removed from the class. We call home each time you are absent. 

3. What are majors? Majors mean that you concentrate your elective choices in one or two course 

areas. 

4. What are electives? Electives are courses you choose to take. They are not required by the 

Department of Education for graduation. 

5. What are compulsory courses? Compulsory courses are courses that you must have in order 

to graduate from high school. 

6. Can I take any course I like? No. Each grade has compulsory courses that must be taken. 

Grade 10 has the most compulsory courses and Grade 12 has the least. Also, many courses 

have prerequisites. 

7. What is a prerequisite? A prerequisite is a condition or course that must be in place before you 

can take a certain course. For example, you cannot take Pre Calculus Math 40S until you have 

Pre Calculus 30S and LAW 40S is reserved for Grade 12 students. 

8. What if I sign up for a class even though I do not have the prerequisite? The course will not 

be put in your schedule. 

9. How many courses should I sign up for when I register? A course load of eight courses is 

considered a full load. Many students take up to 10 credits the only exception is if students take 

band or choir. If students wish to take more than 5.5 credits per semester (with band or choir), 

they must obtain permission from school administration. It is important to remember that there is 

no planned lunchtime at the SRSS. 

10. How do I know which courses to take? Each year the SRSS puts out a Student Information 

Bulletin. This booklet lists the compulsory courses for each major. Once you decide on a major, 

you simply sign up for the required courses for the major. 

11. How do semesters differ from how my courses are now? A semester runs for 5 months. The 

course will be finished in that time. Semesters mean that the teacher will go through much more 

material each day than in junior high. If you miss school for a couple of days, you may find it 

difficult to catch up. 

12. What about course phases or streams? What is that about? High school courses are 

generally of the following types: 

‣ F – Foundation courses allow a student to pursue either G or S courses in Grade 11 and Grade 

12, depending on the student’s mark. 

‣ S – Specialized courses are courses that lead to advanced courses and eventually university 

admission. 

‣ T – Technical courses are courses that lead to a skill level in a trade area. 

‣ B – Business courses are courses that lead to a business education major in preparation for 

further study or job skills. 

‣ M – Modified courses are only available by an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) recommended 

by a clinician and work within the Resource Program. 

13. How important is it to pick the right stream? It is very important because your choice of 

courses in the next grades depend on which courses you take in Grade 10. 

14. If I pick the wrong stream can’t I just switch if I find the course too hard or too easy? It can 

be very hard to change from one stream to another. There may not be a section of the stream 

- 13 -

you want to take when you want to take it. Also, the course may be full. Your teachers in your 

junior high will make recommendations regarding which course stream you should take. Some 

streams require you to begin at the Grade 10 level. 

15. How do credits work? For each course that a student takes and passes, either a half or one 

credit will be given. You need 32 credits to graduate from the SRSS. You do not pass to the next 

grade until you have the required number of credits. Most Grade 10 students coming into the 

SRSS have 8-9 credits. Most students take a least 8 credits each year. 

16. How do students “miss” credits? The two most common ways are by skipping classes and 

being removed from a course or failing a course. 

17. Can’t those courses just be made up the next semester? The courses can be made up if the 

course is offered and if there is room. However, it would likely overload a student’s schedule to 

have another course requirement added to the next semester. 

18. The SRSS is so big, where do I go if I have a problem? Your homeroom teacher or your 

guidance counsellor can help you. If you don’t know where to find help, you can always ask at 

the office. In high school it is expected that students ask for help. 

19. What if I get lost? Ask for help at the office, the guidance area or the library.

A hairstylist suggests a hairstyle according to a person’s physical features and is influenced by today’s 

current styles. A hairstylist should be a good communicator in order to interpret the client’s needs, be it 

styling, trimming and tapering, shampooing, scalp treatments; curling the hair with rollers and clips or 

thermal methods. A stylist cleans, shapes and polishes fingernails; shapes, trims and colours moustaches 

and beards. Other beauty services include shaping and colouring eyebrows and eyelashes, applying 

straightening solutions, hair extensions, as well as skin care and make-up application. A hairstyling 

student will also learn the importance of workplace health and safety as well as personal and public 

hygiene. 


A student entering the course should be in good health and have good physical stamina. If a student has 

a bad back or weak knees this course is not recommended. The work is strenuous and the student must 

be able to stand for long periods of time; be able to move arms, hands, and fingers; have good vision and 

hearing (normal or corrected); be non-allergic to hair or chemical solutions; be able to distinguish colours 

and read directions; be friendly and congenial with customers and fellow students. 



while working in both the classroom and the salon: Black medical scrubs, closed-toe shoes with rubber 

sole (no slipper/moccasin, or UGG type shoes), other required equipment will be provided by the 

department. Please refer to the course outline for further details or contact the instructor of the course.

HIGH SCHOOL APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM MAJOR 

(Up to 8 credits elective) 

For about one in three students, high school leads to college or university. For the others, high school 

leads to the work world. Have you ever asked yourself . . . Wouldn't it be great to know that you'll have a 

job when you finish school? Wouldn't it be great to know that the choices you make now will lead you to a 

job that meets your needs? Wouldn't it be even better if you could be paid as you learn? Through a 

combination of on-the-job and in-school training, apprenticeship can help you attain all this . . . and more. 

APPRENTICESHIP TRADES . . . 

There are over 50 trades designated in Manitoba for apprenticeship training or certification. In most of 

these, you can obtain the "red seal" interprovincial standing. Apprenticeship trades are found in the 

industrial, transportation, construction, and service sectors. 

HIGH SCHOOL APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM (HSAP): 

In a registered HSAP, you receive up to 8 credits toward your high school diploma while working toward 

trade certification. One hour worked counts as one hour of apprenticeship and one hour toward your 

diploma. This program is open to students who meet the minimum age and education requirements as 

defined in the Apprenticeship Act. It is required that students take a combination of academic and on the 

job training as an apprentice under an Apprenticeship Agreement. Students selecting this program may 

only do so with approval from the Cooperative Education coordinator and the SRSS counsellor. 

HOW TO START: 

You'll need to find an employer who will hire you as an apprentice in your chosen trade. The school will 

assist in setting up an agreement with your employer, Apprenticeship and yourself. 

(The Manitoba Government Apprenticeship Program requires an administration fee of $50.00. This is to 

be paid at the time of registering for HSAP.) 

It's like getting a real job. First you have an interview, and if hired, you earn an apprentice's wage. You 

also get guidance and on-the-job training. You're an employee like any other, meaning you have the 

same duties and benefits as regular apprentices while you're working toward getting official certification in 

a trade of your choice. 


Students entering this program should be in good physical shape; be able to walk and move around in the 

shop and field; learn to manipulate tools and equipment skilfully; learn and apply technical knowledge.

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN MAJOR 

In making a space capsule or an electric iron, a nuclear submarine or a television set, an arena or a 

summer cottage, manufacturing and construction companies need detailed plans giving dimensions and 

specifications for the entire project. The workers who draw these plans are draftspersons. 

Draftspersons translate ideas, rough sketches, specifications and calculations of engineers, architects 

and designers into complete and accurate working plans which are used by skilled craftsmen in 

manufacturing a product. Draftspersons may make calculations concerning the strength, reliability and 

cost of materials, and check dimensions of parts and their relationship to each other. Through their 

drawings and specifications they describe exactly the shape and size of objects, as well as what materials 

and processes the craftsmen are to use to produce those objects. 


A student entering this program should have strong eye/hand coordination suitable for operating a 

computer program using mouse or keyboard. Students should have above average ability in mathematics 

and science. Students should have an interest in problem solving and design concepts. 

Employment and advancement opportunities are expected to remain favourable for talented and welltrained 

persons. The upward trend in business expenditures for all types of graphic illustration should be 

reflected in growing demand for industrial designers and draftspersons.

POWER MECHANICS MAJOR 

Utilization of the internal combustion engine in both stationary and mobile applications has always 

demanded skilled personnel in the design, manufacture, diagnosis and repair of the devices developed to 

use it. As these products and vehicles evolved, they increasingly incorporated other technologies such as 

hydraulics (steering, brakes, suspension), electrical/electronics (lights, ABS, steering, satellite navigation 

and myriad other accessories) and pneumatics (suspension, brakes, HVAC, locking). The demand for 

people who are broadly conversant with all of these, as well as for specialists within each field, continues 

to grow while hybrid vehicles blur the distinctions between traditional disciplines. 

GRADUATES: 

Power Mechanics has become a wider field of study while still needing to supply sufficiently specific 

instruction to be of immediate practical value. Graduates of this program have found employment within 

the agricultural, recreational vehicle, heavy duty diesel, automotive and aviation fields as well as in areas 

which draw on related skills and knowledge such as appliance and computer repair, for instance. 

Development of skills in using complex testing equipment and advanced diagnostics are an aid to those 

interested in further technology or apprenticeship programs. 


Students interested in this course of study should have good manual dexterity and be in generally good 

shape but reliance on strenuous lifting abilities and the like is steadily diminishing. Students are expected 

to wear their safety glasses and coveralls whenever they are in the shop. We also highly recommend 

steel-toed footwear. 

Power Mechanics majors begin with measuring, tools and the theory of small engines in Grade 10. This 

course is associated with an automotive basic service course where students develop skills in using shop 

equipment and servicing vehicles. Grade 11 sees training and skill acquisition tailored to specific vehicle 

systems such as chassis, brakes, fuel and electrical. The grade 12 courses focus on power transmission 

and incorporate either a review of prior learning or an industry work experience component. This overall 

sequence of learning makes each level a prerequisite for the next, this is the only way to guarantee 

proper learning and safety training has occurred prior to shop experience.

WELDING (METAL FABRICATION) MAJOR 

Welding has become one of the principal means of fabricating and repairing metal products. The welding 

program is open to all students with a sincere interest in all aspects of metal work and the application of 

the welding processes. It is strongly recommended for students in the other vocational majors: collision 

repair and refinishing, power mechanics, drafting, agriculture, etc. or those who continue higher education 

in the sciences, technology or any practical art. 

Students enrolled in the welding major learn how to perform the welding and cutting processes which are 

in use in today’s industry. These processes include arc welding, inert gas arc welding, automatic wire fed 

welding, and oxyacetylene welding and cutting. 


Students enrolled in welding need the following personal protective equipment: Full body coveralls. If the 

student chooses not to wear coveralls, leather jackets (shop supplied) may be worn or purchased, but the 

student must wear a heavy denim pant such as jeans or Carhart work pants. Shoes should be 

appropriate for the duties in the shop, although it is not mandatory to have steel toed shoes, however they 

would be the best choice. When choosing a shoe try to limit the bulk of the shoe and the amount of lace 

that is exposed. Welding gloves can be purchased from the department for $5 each and safety glasses 

for $2 each. 

GRADUATES: 

The graduate of this course may enter employment as a combination oxyacetylene gas and electric gas 

welder. Students may proceed to certificate programs with further training or may enter an apprenticeship 

program. Many opportunities are available in welding shops, construction shops, and building 

construction, in repair shops, and in other industries including railways, mining, manufacturing and oil 

production and distribution. Students will have the opportunity to be tested by the Canadian Welding 

Bureau and if successful will receive certificates in Arc and MIG welding.

CO-OP EDUCATION PROGRAM 

The Co-op Ed. program is open to all 

students wishing to explore a work option. It is 

intended to meet individual interests and needs 

i.e. career/skill development, timetable or 

enrolment conflicts, etc. 

Grade 9 - 12 students should consider 

planning their courses to allow for involvement in 

Cooperative Education Life/Work Exploration 

WKX classes. (Up to 4 credits can be earned in 

this program.) 

Students require a full complement of 

regular classes and, therefore, would not 

normally be timetabled into Co-op Ed. for 

transition to work but we do encourage them to 

enrol in the WKX single credit classes to be 

done outside of school hours. "Employed" at 

least 8 hours per week, students can benefit 

from an introduction to the workplace, thereby 

earning elective credits. 

Students need to check with a guidance 

counsellor as to the suitability (transferability) of 

Coop. Ed. credits within their major.

Occupational programs of our school. 

The program will be developed to suit 

needs of the individual student and the 

workplace. 

Life/Work Transitioning 

WKX40T 



To prepare for a constantly changing 

employment market, students must acquire skills 

needed for adaptability. Education recognizes 

that learning is life long and broad in nature. The 

- 35 -

program of learning you have followed from 

kindergarten until now has been intended to 

provide a foundation to grow on. You have 

learned to communicate, to process information, 

to understand and control feelings/reactions, you 

have learned a little of the world around you and 

how it works. In your program majors you 

discovered skills and information needed in 

more specific occupational areas. 

High school cannot deliver a “finished product” 

to business, therefore, we have entered into a 

partnership. The Coop. Ed. program was 

created so that business could build on the 

foundations set in high school. Students on the 

job grow in knowledge and skills. You will also 

develop a sense of confidence and acceptance 

as you make the transition from school to work.

achieved introductory computing skills via 

keyboarding and computer awareness. These 

Prerequisite courses will cause students to 

achieve a certain “comfort level” with the current 

popular operating system as well as related 

software such as MS Office. Students wishing to 

pursue the programming aspect of information 

science would also be required to complete the 

Grade 10 intro computer problem-solving 

course. The Grade 11 and 12 years are 

designed with a concentration of studies, which 

have appeal to students wishing to pursue 

diverse post-secondary career paths within the 

information industry. 

GRADUATES: 

The demand for people who are skilled 

in the computing field is strong and is expected 

to continue to increase. Computers are found in 

all areas of society, including entertainment, 

manufacturing, finance, insurance, real estate, 

wholesale and retail trade, government, 

consulting and education. 

Hardware and software vendors hire 

computer professionals in areas such as product 

development, quality assurance, and customer 

support, sales and marketing, documentation 

and training. Organizations that use these 

products (such as hospitals, banks, insurance 

companies, and manufacturing companies), or 

the “end users”, hire computer professionals as 

systems programmers, applications 

programmers, systems analysts, database 

administrators, and network administrators as 

well as other types of positions. Most large 

companies have internal computing departments 

that develop custom products for use by other 

“end-user” departments within the same 

company.

HIGH SCHOOL 

APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM 

High School Apprenticeship/Work SY1-8 40S 

Experience 

Cooperative Education Department 

Dept. of Ed. Code 9801-08-40S Credit: 1-8 

The HSAP falls within the Senior Years 

Technology Education Program. In Manitoba, 

apprenticeship training is administered by the 

Apprenticeship Branch of Manitoba Education 

and Training. Apprenticeship is a training 

relationship involving a trainee (known as an 

apprentice), an employer, and the 

Apprenticeship Branch. An employer hires an 

apprentice to meet an existing or projected skill 

need. A contractual arrangement, known as 

indenturement, is established among the 

employer, the apprentice, and the 

Apprenticeship Branch. This results in a linkage 

between the numbers of people trained through 

apprenticeship and the needs and opportunities 

of the labour market. The indentured trades 

offered in Manitoba include: 

‣ Industrial: 

Boiler maker, Industrial Electrician, Industrial 

Instrument Mechanic, Industrial Mechanic 

(Millwright), Welder, Machinist, CNC Machinist 

Miner, Power Electrician, Steel Fabricator, Tool 

and Die Maker 

‣ Transportation: 

Agricultural Equipment Technician, Aircraft 

Maintenance Journeyperson, Gas Turbine & 

Overhaul Technician, Heavy Duty Equipment 

Technician, Marine & Outdoor Power Equipment 

Technician, Motor Vehicle Body Painter, Motor 

Vehicle Body Repair, Motor Vehicle Mechanic, 

Recreation Vehicle Service Technician, 

Transport Trailer Technician, Truck & Transport 

Mechanic 

‣ Construction: 

Bricklayer, Cabinetmaker, Carpenter, Concrete 

Finisher, Construction Craft Worker, 

Construction Electrician, Mobile Crane Operator, 

Boom Truck Hoist Operator, Tower Crane 

Operator, Glazier, Ironworker, Lather (Interior 

Systems Mechanic) Painter & Decorator, 

Plumber, Refrigeration & Air Conditioning 

Mechanic (Commercial, Residential), Roofer, 

Sheet Metal Worker, Sprinkler System Installer, 

Steamfitter – Pipefitter 

‣ Service: 

Cook, Esthetician (Nail, Skin Care), Electrologist 

(public school program not currently available), 

Floorcovering installer, Hairstylist, Landscape 

Technician, Partsperson, Pork Production 

Technician 

This list is subject to change as new options are 

approved by the Minister of Education and 

Training through the Apprenticeship Branch. 

The HSAP formally integrates school-based 

education and workplace training through 

employment. Students will keep a log of their 

activities and time spent at the workplace. 

Evaluation will be shared by the 

teacher/coordinator, the workplace supervisor 

and the student. Each high school credit will 

involve 110 hours of documented time-on-task 

as verified by the workplace supervisor. 

Employee benefits, wages and workers 

compensation are the responsibility of the 

employer. Upon successful completion of Grade 

12, students participating in the HSAP will 

receive a Senior Years diploma and may also 

receive credit for having completed as much as 

the first level of an apprenticeship training 

program. 

VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS 

It is important for parents and for students planning 

to enrol in vocational programming to realize that a 

major purpose of vocational education is 

preparedness for the work force. While our 

teachers are skilled in their respective trades and 

are highly able to demonstrate and teach these 

skills for their students, vocational education is also 

about developing habits that will lead to success in 

the workplace. These habits include punctuality, 

respect for one another and for authority, 

demonstration of a strong work ethic, and safe 

work practises. Students must expect that their 

evaluation and promotion will be heavily influenced 

by the extent to which they demonstrate these 

important traits in their daily routine. 

A safe work attitude is required for continuation in a 

vocational major. Students who are not willing to 

practice safety in all their work experiences may 

not be well suited for our vocational program, and 

are strongly advised to consider a different choice 

of major. 

TECHNOLOGY PREPARATION 

The work world is rapidly changing as existing jobs 

become more complex and new jobs demand 

increased levels of education. Today's students 

need to acquire advanced technical skills, 

- 39 -

increased basic competencies and greater 

problem-solving abilities to become successful in 

the work place. 

Technology Preparation is a challenging program 

designed to assure that high school students 

acquire more technically oriented knowledge and 

skills. This coordinated sequence of academic and 

technical/vocational courses prepares students for 

lifelong learning including advanced study at 

community colleges, technical institutions and 

universities. 

Basic Technology Applications TPA30T 



The purpose of this course is to introduce the 

student to computer application in industry. Much 

of this course will be individual computer based 

learning - ICBL. Major units studied include: 

industrial sensors, pneumatics, CNC milling, 

Cad/Cam operations, robotics, and CNC lathe. 

Programmable Logic Controllers TPA40T 


Prerequisite: TPA30T 

The course builds and expands on the units 

covered in Industrial Computer Applications 30T. 

Additional units covered include IBM ladder logic 

control, PLC's and industrial robotization. 

COURSE DETAILS 

The following pages provide a brief description 

of each of the courses offered. The code 

numbers, course titles, credit and prerequisite 

requirements are also given. When choosing 

courses, students are urged to read these 

descriptions carefully so they will have a better 

understanding of what the course will contain 

and to check that they have all the necessary 

prerequisites for that course. Care must also be 

taken to insure that the correct code numbers 

and titles are used when requesting a course for 

their program. 

NOTE: Vocational majors offering the adapted 

(two and one-half year - 30 credit) programs are 

made up of similar courses but at the Modified 

“M” designation. These courses are similar to 

the Technical “T” designation courses but of less 

demanding nature. Normally students will enrol 

in the “T” adapted courses and will be switched 

to “M” modified only if the student is unable to 

handle the “T” Vocational program. Modified 

credits are only approved under consultation 

with resource and the counsellors. 

Please note that enrolment in vocational classes 

is limited to meet with strict safety requirements 

and availability of workspace and equipment. 

Priority in enrolment of these vocational classes 

will be given to students with a declared major in 

that specific vocational field. Students wishing to 

sample additional vocational classes outside 

their declared major will not be guaranteed 

placement.

MATHEMATICS 

Which math course should you take? 

Pre-Calculus (MPC) is the more difficult of the 

math courses. MPC concentrates on the 

traditional ‘pencil and paper’ methods of solving 

problems, dealing with more of the theory 

behind the math. Students can expect a fair 

amount of homework. Graduates with MPC40S 

are likely to go on to university and study 

engineering, medicine, law, etc. 

Applied Math (MAM) requires the same attention 

to homework as MPC. The math itself is less 

theoretical than MPC, with a greater emphasis 

on applications. The student can still expect to 

be challenged as in MPC. Computers are used 

extensively (75% of MAM40S is on the 

computer) so the student should have a 

computer at home and be comfortable using it. 

Students graduating with MAM40S are likely to 

go on to university or community college and 

take courses such as drafting, business, arts, 

etc. 

Essential Math (MEM) is designed for the 

student that finds math challenging. Basic skills 

and real life (math) problems are posed such as 

income and deductions, insurance, and 

budgeting. General math principles and some 

theory are studied, but not in as much detail as 

MAM or MPC. Graduates with MEM40S can 

gain admittance to university, but some faculties 

such as the sciences and engineering will not be 

available as options. Please check with those 

faculties directly if you are unsure of the 

requirements. 

Students in grade 9 should be proficient in math 

(minimum 70%) before considering the Intro to 

Applied and Pre-calculus Math courses 

(MAP20S or MTH20S). Students completing 

either MAP20S or MTH20S should seek the 

recommendation of their teacher in deciding 

whether to continue in Pre-calculus or Applied 

math in grade 11. Students in MPC may switch 

to MAM in succeeding years. Students in MPC 

or MAM may switch to MEM in succeeding 

years.

MODERN LANGUAGES 

FRENCH 

(Years 7-9 of Manitoba’s 9-Year Program) 

French is one of Canada’s two official languages 

of Canada and after English, it is the second 

most frequently taught foreign language 

worldwide. The United Nations, UNESCO, the 

International Red Cross, and the Olympics all 

have French as their official working language. 

Only French and English are spoken as native 

languages on five continents. This French 

program provides students with the opportunity 

to improve their knowledge of, and skills in, 

French language and culture, but also affords a 

better understanding of their own mother 

tongue. In addition to building towards written 

and oral fluency, this program shows students 

how having a deeper understanding of a 

language helps to better understand the people 

of a country or region. 

French: 9-year program 

FRE20G 


Prerequisite: FRE10G 

French 20G, 30S and 40S (Grade 10 through 

Grade 12) should be considered as a continuous 

course in French. Using the multidimensional 

approach outlined in the provincial Basic French 

Curriculum Guide, these courses teach both the 

foundations and finer points of the French 

language, Francophone culture, and general 

language skills. At the Grade 10 level, students 

solidify their knowledge of sentence structure 

and verbs in order to communicate more 

effectively in the four areas of language 

proficiency: reading, writing, listening and 

speaking. Activities will include individual and 

partner work, dialogues, plays, grammar 

exercises, group discussions, writing tasks, 

authentic audio selections, videos, Internet 

activities, projects, and oral presentations. The 

class will be largely conducted in French and 

students are expected to communicate in the 

target language. The major literary pieces 

studied at this level are selections of stories from 

the Petit Nicolas series.

NOTE : Students who have a Grade 9 French 

mark below 70% may be required to undertake 

extra work at the beginning of the course in 

order to ensure that knowledge and skills are 

adequate for success in FRE20G. 


FRE30S 


Prerequisite: FRE20G 

The Grade 11 French course expands upon the 

skills acquired at the Grade 10 level and 

provides students with even more tools needed 

to become proficient in the language. The class 

will be largely conducted in French and students 

are expected to communicate in the target 

language. Students participate in the same 

types of activities as in the Grade 10 course, 

with a greater focus on individual, partner and 

group speaking activities. The major literary 

piece studied at this level is an excerpt from Les 

Misérables. 


FRE40S 


Prerequisite: FRE30S 

Grade 12 French is the final year of the 9-year 

provincial Basic French program. The class is 

conducted almost exclusively in French, and 

students are expected to communicate in the 

target language at every opportunity. Students 

participate in the same types of activities as in 

the Grades 10 and 11 courses with the goal of a 

high level of proficiency in the nuances of 

proper oral and written French. One of the 

major units of study is Jobs and the World of 

Work in order to prepare students for university 

as well as for future employment. The major 

literary piece studied is the novel Le Petit prince. 

NOTE: Information on Placements Tests is 

found at the end of the Modern Languages 

section. 

SPANISH 3-Year Program 

Spanish is the second most spoken language in 

the world with approximately 400 million 

speakers. Learning Spanish opens the door to 

interesting professional, social and travel 

opportunities. As a result the objective of the 

Spanish program is to develop the ability to 

communicate in Spanish and to appreciate 

Hispanic culture. This balanced program 

focuses on writing, reading, speaking and 

listening skills with the emphasis on oral fluency. 

Videos, computers and dynamic activities 

promote language development and cultural 

awareness. 

Spanish 

SPA20F 



This course is offered to students who have 

never studied Spanish. The main focus is to 

develop a student’s ability to understand and 

speak everyday Spanish. All units are organized 

by relevant topics that are essential to 

communication at the beginning level, and are 

supported by a wide variety of activities and 

cultural materials that provide a context for 

language acquisition. Students will be given 

glimpses into Hispanic communities around the 

globe to promote cultural awareness and 

promote language development 

Spanish 

SPA30S 


Prerequisite: SPA20F 

This course focuses on interaction and speaking 

in class. Students engage in real language use 

as they share opinions and information about 

themselves, thereby increasing their proficiency 

to communicate in spoken and written form. 

Topics include past experience, food, childhood 

memories, geography, transportation, giving 

directions and travel. Grammar study focuses on 

the present, past tenses and future tenses. 

Students will be exposed to cultural aspects of 

various Hispanic communities around the world. 

Spanish 

SPA40S 


Prerequisite: SPA30S 

The objective of this advanced Spanish course 

is to further develop proficiency in speaking, 

reading and writing Spanish. Topics of study 

include past and future experiences, geography 

and social issues, world travel, and health. 

Study focuses on all tenses including 

subjunctive and other details of the language. 

An increasing emphasis on literature enriches 

the students understanding of both culture and 

language. 

NOTE : French and Spanish 

Placement Tests 

If a student has prior knowledge or experience in 

French or Spanish (due to family background, 

place of residence, or different school 

programming), the student may request to 

challenge for credit the course at the Grade 10 

or 11 level. (This is providing that the Grade 11 

and 12 levels of the course are being offered 

and running that school year.) Students must 

indicate their request to challenge for credit up 

- 59 -

to one week after the start of the course 

being challenged. This request must be 

cleared with the student’s parents, the school 

counsellor, and the course instructor who will 

initially conduct a brief oral interview in the target 

language. If the request to challenge for credit 

is granted, the student will be required to attain a 

minimum mark of 65% on an exam which will be 

comprised of both a written and speaking 

component, plus any additional assessments 

that the instructor deems necessary. If the 

challenge is successful, credit will be given after 

the student has completed the next higher level 

of the program as a regular, in-class course. No 

challenge for credit will be allowed at the Grade 

12 level. No challenge for credit will be 

granted for students who have been enrolled 

past the one-week mark in the course. 

Students have only one opportunity per course 

to challenge for credit.

50/50 PE HEALTH EDUCATION 

SPORT SPECIFIC COURSES 

The purpose of these new course offerings is to 

select specific courses that are typically out of 

gym, off-site activities that may be appealing to 

the SRSS student, which in turn will relieve gym 

space pressures, thereby benefiting all SRSS 

students. These sport specific courses are 

50/50 course variations and will be offered for 

the 2010-2011 school year (based on interest). 

Please note that there are grade specific 

options. 

All courses (regardless of sport focus) will meet 

all of these provincial requirements: 

‣ Track and record 55 hours of activity 

outside of school Phys Ed. time 

o These hours need to be 

moderate to vigorous 

- 66 - 

(Moderate – breathing and heart 

rate increase, hear breathing 

but can still talk. Vigorousbreathing 

and heart rate 

increase to a higher level, 

difficult to talk) 

‣ 30 classes of sport specific activity 

(academy focus). All of these classes 

will be done outside of the SRSS gym 

(ie. Hockey arena, SRSS soccer/football 

fields). 

‣ 25 classes in the classroom (grade 

specific health modules) 

Important factors: 

‣ Bus transportation to and from off-site 

venues will be arranged depending on 

the course taken. 

‣ It is expected that if signing up for the 

academy classes such as soccer or 

football, students will go outside for 30 

activity classes regardless of weather 

(within reason) – so weather appropriate 

clothing will be required. 

‣ Proper equipment will be required for 

the specific course being offered 

(protective or otherwise) 

IF THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INTEREST IN 

THESE COURSES, THEY WILL NOT BE 

OFFERED AS POTENTIAL OPTIONS FOR 

THE UPCOMING YEAR 

POWER MECHANICS 

Engine Fundamentals 

PME20T 



Manufacturers produce well in excess of a 

million small engines each year for power 

applications which number in the hundreds. 

Chain saws, generators, compressors, lawn 

mowers, garden tillers and snow blowers 

comprise only a few of the most common 

household applications and many households 

have more than one of these devices. The 

technology used in this equipment has seen a 

steady evolution, fuel injection has now become 

standard on many, driven in part by new 

emissions regimes and the quest for greater 

efficiency. These industry developments have 

led to a changing and increased need for 

qualified technicians with the skills to properly 

diagnose and repair these engines and their 

related systems. This course provides the initial

step toward the understanding of this equipment 

and the development of a set of highly 

marketable skills. 

Students acquire a practical work ethic as they 

work in the shop as well as abilities which 

generalize well into other fields or contribute to 

further studies in Power Mechanics. 

Basic Service 

PMS20T 



The tremendous number of automobiles that are 

found in our society today causes a demand for 

the individual to have a basic knowledge of this 

mode of transportation. This Auto Services 

course is designed to give sufficient knowledge 

and skill to the student so that he should be able 

to enter into service station employment, to do 

all under hood checks at the service island and 

perform preventative maintenance of the 

automobile. This course would benefit those 

who seek employment in the auto trade on a 

permanent or part-time basis. 

Brake Systems 

PMP3AT 

Chassis 

PMP3BT 



Prerequisite: Gr. 10 Power Mechanics 

This course is designed to provide students with 

an opportunity of studying and doing practical 

work relating to suspension and brakes as found

operation. 

Fuel Systems 

PME3AT 

Electrical Systems 

PME3BT 




These two increasingly integrated courses 

develop further knowledge and skills as related 

to two of the most important systems found in 

vehicles and equipment. As technologies and 

requirements evolve in response to 

environmental, efficiency and reliability 

concerns, demands on electrical and electronic 

systems continuously escalate. Added to this is 

the fact that new fuel systems are inextricably 

linked to electrical systems in their design and 

operation. Consequently, solid skills and 

knowledge are required in these areas to service 

current vehicles and machinery and the demand 

for “electrically fluent” technicians continues to 

see rapid growth. Components studied include 

starters, alternators, fuel pumps and batteries. 

Diagnosis & Correction 

PMP4AT 

Automatic Transmissions

them. Since many of these components and the 

theoretical basis on which they work are 

common in power transmission and industry, 

skills and knowledge which are developed in this 

course can have wide application. 

Automotive Electronics 

PMA4AT 

Applied Power Mechanics
