GeneralInformationJUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS OFFERING SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL COURSESSome junior high schools in the city offer senior high school courses. These credits cannot begranted until the student is in Grade 10.“Where senior high school courses are offered at the junior high school level, the planning forsuch courses should be based on collaboration between junior high schools and senior highschools. Junior high school teachers challenging students with senior high school courses shouldconsult with senior high school teachers to establish procedures that ensure consistency inimplementing course outcomes and assessment standards.”(pg 92, Guide to Education, Alberta Education, Sept 2010).Central Memorial currently has an agreement with John Ware School.CHANGES IN REGISTRATIONA student may not:n Abandon or drop a course,n Change from one section to another,n Change from one course to another, orn Change his/her timetable in any way,without first consulting with his/her parents, teacher and/or counsellor and subsequentlyobtaining permission from an administrator. The student must attend all classes while therequest is being considered.Changes in a student’s timetable will not be approved after the first week of a course. Afterthe first week of classes, we expect students to honour their commitment.Brian Cheney – Teacher and CoachYou may see Mr. Cheney walking the halls of Central Memorial. You may seeMr. Cheney coaching football or possibly rugby. You may even have Mr. Cheneyas an English teacher. What can be guaranteed is that this highly involved footballalumnus of Queen’s University will have an impact on each student who takes thetime to get to know him. For all of his time committed to Central Memorial,I think Mr. Cheney deserves his summer vacations on the lakes of Ontario withhis wife Karen and young son Joshua.12

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS PROGRAMThe senior high English Language Arts (ELA) program highlights six language arts –listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing. Senior high students engageall six language arts as they become involved in learning activities and as they encounterand create texts in relevant contexts for a variety of purposes and audiences. All of thelanguage arts are interrelated and interdependent; facility in one strengthens and supportsfacility in the others. The Program of Studies defines the word ‘text’ broadly. Text is definedas “anything produced or used by one human being that conveys a message to another humanbeing, either explicitly or implicitly, intended or unintended, in oral, print, visual and multimediaforms.” – From Alberta Education, Program of Studies.EnglishLanguageArtsProgramCOURSE SEQUENCE>80%English 20-1 Pre-APEnglish 30-1 APELA 10-1** ELA 20-1 ELA 30-1LA 9

CALM, RAP AND WORK EXPERIENCECALM 20 (3 credits)The goal of senior high school Career and Life Management (CALM) is to enable studentsto make well-informed, considered decisions and choices in all aspects of their lives and todevelop behaviours and attitudes that contribute to the well-being and respect of self andothers, now and in the future. The course is organized into four units:n Orientationn Personal Choices,n Career Choices, andn Resource ChoicesCALM courses are delivered:n through a Distributed Learning Model,n linked with Physical Education 20n integrated into the NSA programn linked with PE 10 for PVA standardsCALM, RAPand WorkExperienceCareer and LifeManagement(CALM)RegisteredApprenticeshipProgram (RAP)CALM is a required course for an Alberta High School Diploma.REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM (RAP)The phrase we like to use to describe the Registered Apprenticeship Program or RAP programis “Earn While You Learn”. In this program most students work a full semester of both grade11 and grade 12 in one of Alberta’s 52 certified trades. This allows them to earn 5 credits forevery 125 hours worked, hours towards their apprenticeship ticket, and minimum wage ormore. Some students earn up to 40 of their high school credits and early entrance into atechnical school like SAIT. The best time to start RAP is the summer after grade ten. It is alsoacceptable to begin the summer after grade eleven. The first three weeks of your summer isconsidered to be a probationary period and is called Work Experience. During this time youand the employer you have been matched up with determine whether you are suited tothe trade. If so, you are then put on the payroll and start working as an apprentice, gainingvaluable hands-on experience. The expectation is that you will return to your placement bothduring the school year and each subsequent summer.In addition to completing Work Experience before entering RAP, students do a one creditmodule called HCS 3000 and a two day safety course. You have the option of completingthe HCS 3000 module, free of charge, on line, the first week of July or independently. TheJob Safety classes have traditionally been offered either on Saturdays or after school inJune. If you are interested in apprenticing in the trades please contact the Work ExperienceCoordinator at 403-243-8880 (voice mailbox 2139) for information regarding a studentparentinformation session offered in the spring.R E G I S T R A T I O N G U I D E 2 0 1 4 | 2 0 1 5 85

CALM, RAPand WorkExperienceworkexperience/careertransitionsCALM, RAP AND WORK EXPERIENCEWork Experience/Career TransitionsThe work experience program provides the opportunity for grade 11 or 12 students toexplore the world of work. Ideally they try out a job in a sector in which they are interestedin working after high school. They can receive valuable on-the-job training at a wide varietyof approved sites, including those in the non-profit, retail, restaurant, professional/secretarialand trades sectors. The rewards students should be seeking from work experience are thetraining and credits towards their diplomas.HCS 3000Completion of this one credit module is necessary before placement at the work site.This module includes:n Workplace Health and Safetyn Job Hazard Analysisn Safety LegislationWork Experience 15Work Experience 25Work Experience 35In addition to completing the Career Transitions Module, students must demonstrate thewillingness and ability to appropriately represent Central Memorial High School on thejob site before they will be registered. Mature, responsible students tend to be reliableemployees. Every 25 hours of work experience is the equivalent of one level of WorkExperience and valued at one credit. Seventy-five hours of work experience is the minimum;however, students should strive to earn 10 Work Experience credits. The student and theemployer will come to an agreement on a schedule that works for them both. Oneof the goals of Work Experience is learning how to balance the demands of school, workand extracurricular activities.86
