Beginning in Grade 10, a guidance counsellor needs to make sure that each college-bound student chooses the courses required for the university program she or he wishes to enter. In addition, guest speakers and/or workshops should be arranged to help students understand the career choices open to them.

Although English is the only required course in Grade 10, the credit requirements for graduation (Grades 10-12) must be kept in mind when selecting courses.

GRADE 11 CURRICULUM

The proposed curriculum for Grade 11 includes those courses currently offered at Margaree Forks and suggests enhancements, including a co-operative education option for Business Mathematics 231 and the use of local resources as enrichments to science courses and economics. Mini-courses will be offered to Grade 11 students twice each year.

Two locally developed programs are added to the curriculum to be developed in partnership with outside resources as described in the section on locally developed programs (above). "Margaree-Lake Ainslie Heritage River" will be developed as a Grade 11 Biology program. "Home and Business Economics" will be developed as a 331 program in partnership with the Highland Credit Union, the Margaree Co-op and other community-based financial service businesses.

As in Grade 10, Grade 11 students can challenge for credit in Drama and Physical and Health Education. Other independent challenges may be made by skilled students. Distance education programs offered by the regional school board that do not require prerequisites are available to Grade 11 students and they may also acquire one credit through independent study.
