English as a Second Language

Students in the early stages of English acquisi on may monitor courses or work for par al credits if they are not able to meet the curriculum expecta ons for a course. Adapted programming helps students achieve credits in courses even if their communica on skills are not suffi ciently developed to demonstrate their learning.

While students may need more than 4 years to complete their diploma, Avon Maitland DSB students who take ESL are given the assistance they need to fulfi ll their long-term goals.

Course Changes Students wishing to change a course should consult with their Guidance counsellor. Course changes can occur at diff erent mes in the year for a variety of reasons. The normal prac ce is to cease making course changes two weeks into a semester. Parental approval is required for changes if students are less than 18 years old. Course changes are not always possible a er the start of the school year, and should be made as early as possible to facilitate success.

Resource Center and Cross-curricular Computer Lab The Resource Center provides students with tradi onal library services: access to books, encyclopedias, magazines and newspapers. In

addi on, the Resource Center contains computers that may be accessed by students during class me and lunch hour. In addi on to the computers available for individual or classroom use in the Resource Center, most of SHDHS building has wireless internet access.

These objec ves are met through individual interviews and classroom instruc on.

Danielle is currently fi nishing her grade 12 year at SHDHS. Throughout her high school experience she has le her op ons open as to what she may do in the future. Last year, she took a paren ng course which helped to increase the number of op ons she had for post secondary plans. Growing up, she was always dead set on pursuing a career involving accoun ng. A year later her oldest sister became a teen mom, and that completely changed the way Danielle looked at children. She now knows she wants to work with children. In her fi nal semester of grade 12, Danielle plans to a end a co-op placement at the Relouw Early Childhood Learning Center as she wants to become more familiar and comfortable around children.

Next year Danielle will not be a ending a fi h year at SHDHS, and she also won’t make her way to any post secondary schooling. She will be working a full me job, either at her current workplace, Dairy Queen, or Exeter’s newest restaurant Crabby Joes as a host. Throughout her year off working, she will volunteer at things such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters to gain extra experience with children and get a taste of what her future may be like.

Danielle’s family is very suppor ve of her decisions, and happy to know she has taken the responsibility of making such important life choices. No ma er the fi eld she ends up in, her parents will always be there 100% for her.
