Course Selection

 

Grade 8 Parents:

The transition to high school is an exciting time in a young person's life. Many new experiences await and at times it can all seem overwhelming. Harold M. Brathwaite S.S. is committed to helping our new students get off to the best start possible. Feel free to browse the Grade 8 orientation powerpoint which covers course selection as well as programs such as the Link Crew which are specially designed to help students transition into high school.

Course selection is a continual process and should be based on an individual student's interests, abilities and goals. To assist with this process, students are strongly encouraged to speak to their teachers about proposed classes, read course descriptions online or in the Common Course Calendar, talk to their counsellors and parents, and speak to students who have previously taken these classes. Students choose their classes online—a password is required which can be obtained through the school.

Students are encouraged to consult the following online resources prior to choosing their courses:

Course Changes

Once a student chooses a course, they are expected to remain enrolled in that course, unless there are special circumstances. Students are encouraged to speak to their teachers and counsellors, should any difficulties and/or challenges arise.
