Career Education supports students in becoming successful, educated citizens by helping them learn how to effectively manage their life journey toward preferred future possibilities. This area of learning requires students to identify and develop their personal interests, passions, and competencies. Students reflect on learning experiences in school and community, build confidence through their contributions, and explore multiple career-life roles and choices.
At SAS, students will be enrolled in Career Life Explorations (CLE 10) in grade 10, Career Life Connections (CLC 12A) in grade 11, and Career Life Connections – Capstone (CLC 12B) in grade 12. Over these years, students will experience a variety of career, life, and post-secondary opportunities organized and facilitated by Career Coordinators, Counsellors, Administration, and other teachers.
These experiences include:
- Seminars on a variety of topics, hosted by local community experts
