Pathways To Success

The Ministry of Education's document Creating Pathways to Success describes a comprehensive Kindergarten to Grade 12 education and career/life planning program designed to help students achieve their personal goals and become competent, successful and contributing members of society.

The goal of this policy is to enhance every student's outlook for success by:

• supporting students in identifying their personal interests, strengths, needs and aspirations and in using this knowledge of themselves to inform their choices of programs and learning opportunities;
• provide a wide range of diverse and engaging learning opportunities, courses and programs, both in and outside the classroom that meet the interests, strengths, needs, and aspirations of the students and honour all postsecondary destinations - apprenticeship training, college, community living, university, vocations and the workplace.

Our board is working hard to give our students the chance to develop their strengths, interests and goals through through many established experiential learning programs such as Co-operative education, the Specialist High Skills Major Program (SHSM), the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) and the Dual Credit Program.

It is the goal of the career/life planning program for every student to make a well researched, informed choice regarding their post secondary destination whether it be apprenticeship, college, community living, university, vocations or the workplace.
