LEADERSHIP 11/12
Senior Leadership is designed to give students the opportunity to further develop their self-confidence and leadership skills so that they can continue to contribute positively to their school local and global community. It is an events-oriented course in which students will engage in service learning by working together to plan, coordinate, and run various events for the school and wider community. Students will also be learning a variety of theories around leadership, and then working to connect this understanding to their own passions and interests. Students in
this class will be required to complete a set amount of volunteer hours outside of class time, working to launch and run said events. Students will also be challenged to develop specialties related to running large scale events, such as audio and lighting technicians, presenting, administration and coordination, and other areas related to producing high quality events.
LINK CREW 11/12 (BY APPLICATION)
Centered on the belief that students can help students succeed, Link Leaders are Grade 11 and 12 students who become trained mentors and positive role models who guide the Grade 9s to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to high school and help facilitate first year success. The time commitment required is a two-day training at the end of summer, 3 morning classes per month throughout the year where Link Leaders collaborate and learn effective mentorship skills, and two Focused Flex periods per month where Leaders work with their small group of Grade 9s (their Link Crew) and lead various engaging activities with them. It is an excellent opportunity to develop leadership capacity, increase self-esteem and make a positive difference in the school community.
PEER MENTORING 11/12 (BY APPLICATION)
Peer Mentoring is a scheduled course for students at the Grade 11 and/or Grade 12 level who are interested in working in a classroom setting with junior students. Selected students will be assigned to work in a placement area of their personal strength/passion, under the supervision of a sponsor teacher. This course is about leadership and mentorship: students demonstrate leadership by modeling positive behaviour, attendance, and work ethic, and develop personal mentorship skills by building relationships with peers. The course is reflective in nature and requires students to complete reflections on their experiences and personal growth, as well as one final assignment.
This course is rewarding and is great for students planning on being in a helping profession such as an SEA, teacher, nurse, medical assistant, counsellor, etc.
