Students wishing to make a necessary pathway course change for next year – you are able to book an appointment with your guidance counsellor starting Monday, June 15th. Your counsellor will review your potential course change with you and provide the necessary form to have signed/completed.

  • At this time, we are focusing on changes necessary to support students’ pathways (ex. a missing course for post-secondary plans or graduation, failed credits, etc.)
  • Any changes should be at grade level (reach ahead switches not possible at this time due to limited space in courses)
  • Students wishing to swap elective courses – you will have an opportunity to request changes when we return in September and such requests will not be processed this June. Details about this process will be posted prior to the start of school this fall.
