Grade 10 Family Meeting with University Counsellor
University Counsellors will be holding family meetings with our Grade 10 students to support them with finalizing their IB DP/HSD subject choices from 13th February to 3rd March. Grade 10 Students are scheduled through Calendly with their assigned counsellor and please be mindful of your individual meeting time. Here is a gentle reminder of your subject choice.
Reasons why you might choose a subject
- Interest and enjoyment of the subject
- Possess an aptitude/ability for the subject
- The types of assessments offered suits your learning style
- Will help you meet your job/career and/or university/college course/program goals.
Most universities and employers expect young people to have studied a broad range of subjects, earned good grades, and been enthusiastic about what they have studied. There are exceptions in University program prerequisite/IB DP/HSD subject requirement. Information about pre-requisites and assumed knowledge for university courses will be discussed with your counsellor during the meeting.
We will look forward to seeing you.

Sign up on SchoolsBuddy to help at the Swim Meet on Saturday the 11th or Sunday the 12th.
Depending on your responsibility, you could achieve one of the following outcomes. ONE. ONE OUTCOME.
- Ethics – You were honest in timekeeping. You started and stopped the stopwatch at the right time. The time on the stopwatch was almost always the same as the time on the board.
- Collaboration – You had to work with another person. You and your partner took turns in marshalling the swimmers. You talked and decided who was going to walk the swimmers to the pool. You worked with the person calling the names or maybe you went to find the missing swimmers.
- Commitment and Perseverance – You stayed for the whole 2.5 hours. It was a long day. Maybe it was hot and humid. You worked the whole time. Maybe you had to stand the whole time. How many steps did you walk? You finished the shift even though you were tired.
Volunteers Needed!!!!
