community involvement. – To be eligible for an Ontario University, students must have a minimum of six grade 12 “U” or “M” level credits. Students must also confirm they have all required courses for their post-secondary program choices.

eLearning

• Many of our senior courses listed on our course calendar are

available to students through e-learning.

• Students complete readings, assignments, tests and exams all
• n-line with the direction and guidance of a qualified teacher.
• Successful students will need to be self-motivated with good
• rganizational and time management skills.
• A student’s e-learning course would take the place of a class
• n their timetable.
• Students are required to log into their course daily for

attendance purposes.

• A major benefit to students is the flexibility to complete their

work from any location with internet access. Students may also choose to complete their class work during non-traditional school hours.

Pathways

APPRENTICESHIP:

How do you become an apprentice?

• Quick way to get started in one’s work life.
• Find an employer in the Skilled Trades and learn the

job under the supervision of a journeyperson.

• For most trades you work for a year, then switch to

studying in-class for eight to 12 weeks, either full or part time. It takes between two and five years including two or three in-class sessions to complete an apprenticeship.

• After the apprentice completes the required # of

hours or demonstrations of skill and schooling, they can then write a certification exam to become a licensed journeyperson

How do you apply to college?

• Students apply to college in the fall of their

Grade 12 year with the support of the school. This past year, Lambton College paid the $95 fee for every Great Lakes Secondary Student who applied.

• Students go to www.ontariocolleges.ca to create

their accounts and select colleges and programs in which they are qualified and interested.

Community Living Pathway

Our ALLP students often participate in co-op programs and learn about the CICE program at Lambton College so that they can transition to the work of work. Community Living Sarnia is an excellent partner in this transition.

www.ouac.on.ca www.einfo.ca

How do you apply to university?

• Student apply to university in the fall of their

Grade 12 year with the support of the school. The application fee is $150 for three choices Additional program choices cost $50 each.

• Students go to www.ouac.on.ca to create their

accounts upon receipt of their PIN’s from Student Services and select their choices based on their eligibility and interest. NOTE: six grade 12 university or mixed level courses are a requirement (i.e. ENG 4U1 or ADA 4M1)

Heading to the Workplace

All of our students aim to earn their O.S.S.D. and begin their adult life. If post-secondary education is not their pathway, we encourage our students to check out this or other workplace websites:

FINANCING POST-SECONDARY

Students learn about ways of finding financial aid in our Grade 12 post-secondary information session in the fall. We ask all graduating students to complete a G.L.S.S. Student Profile to be considered for our school awards. More information can be found on our Board website. Students are encouraged to complete the LKDSB Scholarship/Bursary Application forms to be eligible for any LKDSB awards (available in Student Services). Additionally, students are reminded to research their post- secondary Financial Aid websites and other external agencies (www.yconic.com and www.scholarshipscanada.com).

FINANCING POST-SECONDARY

At this time, we are advertising for the YMCA Celebration of Youth Awards – with a March 22, 2019 deadline. See: http://ymcaswo.ca/p/612/l/629/orgid/22850/t/YMCA_Events_ Media_Celebration_of_Youth

We also host an OSAP information session where we bring in a Financial Aid officer.

• r

▪ four credits for 440 hours completed as well as in-class assignments.

Goals of co-op

What do you get from this experience?

▪ Work experience ▪ Work skills ▪ Career investigation ▪ Employability skills ▪ Dealing with employers and employees in the work place ▪ Link between the theory that is taught at school and what

• ccurs in the work place.

The Lambton Kent District School Board is pleased to

• ffer senior students (those in grades 11 or 12) who

qualify, the opportunity to enroll in college-level courses which will provide them with both a college credit and high school credit upon completion. This unique arrangement allows students the chance to experience life and learning in a college environment.

The dual credit program was introduced in Ontario schools in 2005 as part of the ministry’s Student Success strategy. The program represented one of several new learning

• pportunities provided through the strategy that

would enable students to build on their strengths and interests in school and get a head start on their postsecondary education and training.

How Dual Credit Works

• 1. Applications for Dual Credit become available in

May for first semester programs and then in November for second semester programs.

• 2. Students complete the application form, get it

signed by a parent (if under 18), and then our Student Success Team reviews each application to decide if the candidate will be approved.

• 3. Applications are sent to the LKDSB Special

Projects teacher and, if space exists in the program, the student is placed in the course(s).

Lambton College Partnership

• Students earn a high school credit for

participation in the 15 week program that runs for one day a week (3 hour class)

• Students also earn a college credit (hence, Dual

Credit) which can either replace a first year course related to the program or be used as a Gen Ed credit which are required in each college program

THE SCHEDULE

Lambton College offers dual credit courses during the following blocks:

Thursdays:

• 9:30 am—12:30 pm
• 12:30 pm—3:30 pm

Fridays:

• 9:30 am—12:30 pm
• 12:30 pm—3:30 pm

Students may select either one or two dual credit course each

• semester. If the student selects two, he or she must select

them on the same day (Thurs or Fri.)

Courses

• Arboriculture & Chainsaw

Practices

• Bakeshop Applications
• Criminology
• Digital Photography

Most courses are available both semesters. Courses offerings are subject to change.

• program. Transportation is included to and

Weekly attendance is mandatory for success. Students missing more than 3 classes will not earn the dual credits. Regular daily G.L.S.S. attendance is mandatory in order to remain in the dual credit program. We have developed a 3- strike system to ensure students are not falling behind in their G.L.S.S. courses because they will be missing regular class time on their dual credit days.

Summer Dual Credit

Lambton College has developed a two-week Dual Credit summer program. This program is available for a student requiring one high school credit to

• graduate. The nine day (six hours/day) program in

PHOTOGRAPHY or BAKING takes place in the first two weeks of July. This is a limited enrollment program and, as such, is competitive for admission.
