support sErvicEs dEpartmEntGUidanCe and CoUnseLLinG

school counsellors are available to meet with students and/or parents to provide assistance of a general or personal nature. services are provided in a wide variety of areas such as career development, course selection, planning of post-secondary education, study habits, decision making, personal relationships and many other areas that affect students’ physical, emotional and mental well-being. school counsellors also function in a consultative capacity to students, parents, guardians and teachers. When special services are required, referrals are made to outside agencies.

resoUrCe

resource teachers are part of the student services support team at Kildonan-East collegiate. resource teachers are available to work closely with students who may be experiencing learning difficulties in their courses. resource teachers liase with parents, students, divisional consultants, and teachers to help support successful learning environments and programming for all students. services may include the recovery of credits through individualized self-paced learning programming, the provision of specialized materials and equipment for individual students needs, and referrals to outside agencies if required.

Kildonan-East librarythe library offers a place to study, to do homework or to enjoy recreational reading. it houses a large selection of informational books, reference materials, periodicals and fiction books. the staff will assist with location of materials, as well as offer suggestions for suitable leisure reading. informational and recreational reading materials may be borrowed for two weeks and reference books may be taken out overnight.

the library is fully automated and the library staff will assist students in searching online. the access to various online information sources is available through the library’s 32 computer stations (internet, Ebscohost, Encyclopedias, and Winnipeg public library). the K.E.c. library uses the resource-based learning model of learning by which teachers and the library technician cooperatively plan units to actively involve the students in the implementation of the curriculum. the goal of this program is to make our students effective, life-long users of information. Kildonan-East is proud of the library programs and services that it is able to offer to students.

prErEQuisitEs, coursE sEQuEncEscertain courses at Kildonan-East have a definite sequential development that necessitates specific prerequisites. for example: science 20f is a prerequisite for chemistry 30s or physics 30s, and art 20g is required for art 30s or g.

the course description book identifies such prerequisites. consider these prerequisites when making course selections. previous experiences of students and teachers indicate that these requirements are necessary to ensure success in the course.

Exceptions to prerequisites are occasionally made. high grades as well as the recommendation from subject teachers are the main criteria to be met before exceptions are made. a student may not take both an “s” course and a “g” course in the same subject at the same level for 2 credits, eg. history 30s and 30g.

rEgistration procEdurEs - nEW studEntsnormally, grade 9 students wishing to attend Kildonan-East will complete application forms at their junior high school. Junior high school counsellors will forward student applications to Kildonan-East. grade 9 students will be notified by Kildonan-East regarding their acceptance into programs.

new students to Kildonan-East will be timetabled by the school administration according to availability of courses they have selected. high school students who have not attended Kildonan-East are required to submit a statement of marks and attendance from their previous school.

acadEmic diploma (sEE also: advancEd placEmEnt, cErtificatE programs)

the academic program provides a sound education at the secondary level. it is organized to maintain a balance between the core subjects of English, mathematics, social studies, science, and physical Education. students select additional optional courses to meet their specific needs. this program provides a basis for further education at the university or college level. students may wish to consider the dual diploma program that combines the academic program and the vocational technology program.

vocational tEchnology diploma • Kildonan-East offers 10 separate vocational technology programs, each of which provides training skills at the

job entry level. students planning to enter this program should select two exploratory (Ex) courses as grade 10 options. hairstyling majors must choose all four hairstyling 20s courses in group b and culinary arts students must choose the two courses from group c and one other Exploratory from group a.

• upon graduation vocational technology students can receive further training either in the workplace, in university or college, or they can enter an apprenticeship program.

• all of our vocational technology offerings are open to grade 10 students as options. vocational technology majors are not declared until grade 11 (except for hairstyling & culinary arts). the vocational technology programs at Kildonan-East are:

• in grade 11 and grade 12 vocational technology students complete four credits each year in their major.

dual diploma

• dual diploma students combine requirements for a vocational diploma with those of an academic diploma.

• students must take a grade 11 science and grade 12 transactional focus, literary focus or comprehensive focus.

• acquisition of a dual diploma does not ensure students of entry into all university faculties and programs or qualify them for entrance scholarship requirements. students need to ensure they have taken necessary pre-requisites for admission to university programs to qualify for entrance scholarships.

carEErbridgE school-to-carEEr transition program

careerbridge is a comprehensive, developmental program that prepares the students of Kildonan-East collegiate for a smooth transition from school to life after high school, whether it be work or further education or training. When taken as a course of study at Kildonan East collegiate in grade eleven and/or twelve, career bridge offers students the opportunity to develop career search, interview, and employability skills. in addition, students will work with a teacher-mentor to map the education and work experience necessary to achieve their career goal. students will be given the exciting challenge of working in their desired career outside of the school for a portion of the semester. during this cooperative work placement, students will be supervised and guided by mentors from both the worksite, and Kildonan East collegiate who may also serve as a valuable reference when applying for future work or school opportunities.

the proGram is desiGned to provide stUdents with the opportUnity to:• Examine their personal interests, values, and abilities.• Explore potential occupations and career paths and develop the necessary skills to bridge the gap

from school to the adult world of work or further study.• careerbridge is designed to help students see the relevance of what they are studying. it directly

links the academic and vocational content of the subject material with the student’s life and work in the present and future.

Career BridGe aLso provides the foLLowinG serviCes::• all grade 10 students will be given a career planning seminar. the seminar utilizes an interactive

web site (“career cruising”) which offers a great deal of information on careers and includes a resume building application. students can access this web site for the duration of their high school career, continuing to upgrade their resume and investigate possible careers.

othEr crEdit optionsCommUnity serviCe Credit stUdent-initiated proJeCt (sip)

the community service student-initiated project (sip) credit option enables students who make a contribution to their community by volunteering for worthwhile causes or organizations to receive recognition for the civic skills, knowledge and attitudes obtained in the volunteer activity.

the volunteering done by students participating in this sip is not the responsibility of the school division or manitoba Education but an opportunity made available to students to obtain credit for private activity – a process similar to obtaining credit for the private music option where students provide to the school documentation on their standing following completion of the activity.

students who are interested in receiving a community service credit must get approval from a counsellor or administrator prior to initiating the volunteer activity.

ChaLLenGe for Credit option

the educational system recognizes that students may, in exceptional circumstances, have already acquired the knowledge, skills and attitudes of a particular course. the challenge for credit option provides a process for students to demonstrate that they have achieved learning outcomes as defined in the manitoba curriculum for a directly related course.

this option is intended to serve particular needs such as:

• students who, by virtue of special talents or private study, can be accelerated in particular subject areas;

• students transferring into a manitoba school from another jurisdiction whose placement in a subject/grade would be facilitated by such a provision;

• students whose educational attendance has been interrupted through sickness or other reasons and who may be able to successfully challenge the learning outcomes of a particular subject area, in which they were previously unable to enroll;

• students who were previously home schooled;

• students who are considered exceptional achievers in a certain area;

• students who can demonstrate that they have met course requirements through life experiences such as independent study, world of work, volunteer activities, and hobbies.

individUaLiZed seLf-paCed LearninG

Kildonan East collegiate’s individual self paced learning program (ispl) offers an alternative learning environment for core compulsory courses (English, math, social studies, and science) at the grade 9-12 levels. this environment is suitable for students who require additional time and support for completion of these courses. students who have enrolled in core compulsory courses previously and received a mark between 40-49% have the opportunity to recover their credit and may find that this environment is more suited to their needs. students in ispl work at their own rate under the supervision of teaching and paraprofessional staff. application for admission to this program is available through the student services department, your teacher advisor, or the previous classroom teacher of which course is being repeated.

advanced placEmEnt

advancEd placEmEnt programa number of enriched or advanced courses are offered at the grade 12 level. Enriched ap preparatory courses are offered in certain subjects. students who excel in regular classes are encouraged to speak to their subject teachers about registering for ap in the next grade. ap prep. courses, while not pre-requistes, are recommended for students interested in pursuing advanced placement standing. these courses together are known as the advanced placement program (ap). there are a number of benefits and considerations associated with the ap program.

what is the advanCed pLaCement proGram?

the college board’s advanced placement program is an opportunity for students to pursue university level studies while still in high school. students may be able to receive credit, advanced placement, or both from those universities that participate in the advanced placement program. the college board establishes the curriculum for each ap course, and sets and provides marking for the exams.

Benefits for stUdents:

• students demonstrate scholarship on national and international academic levels. taking an ap examination enables students to compare their knowledge and understanding of a university level subject with the high academic standards established by university faculty. the challenge of conquering these national and international standards gives students a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

• students study in greater depth. students who take ap courses are able to learn a subject in depth, develop analytical reasoning skills, and form disciplined study habits that can contribute to continued success at the university level.

• students may improve their chances of being accepted by the university of their choice. some university admissions personnel view ap experience as one indicator of future success at the university level.

• students may be exempted from introductory courses at universities. course exemption gives students time to broaden their university experience by exploring additional subject areas, participating in internships, and studying abroad, for example.

• students may be granted first year standing. students who earn satisfactory grades on enough ap Exams may be granted a full year’s credit by their university.

• students are eligible to earn ap scholar awards (minimum granted to students who receive grades of 3 or higher on three or more ap Exams).

• the secondary school guide to the advanced placement program, published by the college board, also indicates that research on the effects of taking advanced placement courses and examinations has demonstrated that when ap students reach college, they typically take additional courses in academic areas of the ap courses, enroll in more courses than their peers, achieve higher grade-point averages, graduate with double majors, and go on to graduate school at a rate double that of their non-ap peers.

• universities give additional entrance scholarships for each ap exam with a score of 4 or better. (i.e. u of m gives an additional $250 for a score of 5 and $150 for a score of 4 on each exam.)
