High School Registration
2012-2013
Partnership
Making registration and transition work is a shared responsibility - students and parents need to be aware and take ownership.
Panabaker staff (Mr. Tink, Mme Sherwin and Ms. Neisz) will provide information & documents, host presentations and notify students & parents regarding high school open-houses and information sessions
Adjustments to program and registration need to be carried out with the guidance department at the selected high school

Students can do partial IB program, but are encouraged to enroll in a full honors program

Application process begins in December. Students must have 85% avg and be committed to 3 - 4 hours homework per night - must be an enthusiastic, well-rounded student, good citizen who enjoys challenging learning
Requires a recommendation from teacher(s)
Other programs
Fine Arts - focus on performance and/or visual arts
RAP - registered apprenticeships - can lead to a Journeyman certificate 18 months after grad
K & E - Knowledge & Employability Program - focus on graduation with a set of employment skills
Term 1 & 2 - Important!
Students and parents need to know that high school registration is based on marks until the end of January/February. It is important that students focus on their achievement throughout the year as course selection can change based on increased or diminished performance.

Considerations
the cut-off grades are not flexible
course selection is based on PERFORMANCE not POTENTIAL
Alterations to program can be made at the high school in term 4.
We do not assist with registration to separate schools, private schools or out-of province schools or the National Sports School
