Homework includes the completion of daily assignments, study, review and preparation for major assignments, tests and examinations. Students should expect subject teachers to check regularly that their work has been completed. The amount of homework depends on the subject, levels of difficulty and grade level. However, it is reasonable to expect homework (study and written)on a daily basis at the secondary level.
On-going evalution identifies difficulties quickly and allows students and parents to take prompt remedial action. Student evalution is based on the following 4 categories:Knowledge, Application, Thinking, Communication. Teachers use a variety of evaluation techinques to arrive at a student's mark. Evaluations is meant to be constructive and continuous, to increase a student's sense of self-worth and to emphasize what is important in a student's learning. In addition to outlining expecations for performance and attendance, each teacher will give students information regarding criteria and methods of evaluations at the outset of classes.
Some students, after successfully completing a certain type of course, may change thier educational goals and, as a consqequence, may need to take compulsory and optional credit courses of a different type from those they initially chose. Although students enrolled in one type of course may enrol in a different type course in a subsequent year, changing course types becomes more difficult as students advance through the system, or situations involving courses that have prerequisites. When a student plans to switch from one course type on the other in the next grade level, the student is strongly encouraged to successfully complete additional course work of up to 30 hours as defined by the minitry in order to demostrate achievement of the learning expectations that are included in the ones grade level course but not the other (applied vs. academic). Students are asked to meet with their counsellor in Student Services for further information.
Final Examinations are held in January for semester 1 courses and in June for semester 2 courses. Students must write an examination or have a final evaluation for each course in which they are enrolled. If a student misses an examination due to illness, a medical certificate must be submitted to the school administration in order to schedule an alternate date for writing the examination. If a student is truant from the examination, or does not submit a medical certificate, the examination will not be rescheduled and a mark of zero (0) on the examination will be assigned. Field Trips, Excursions, Sports
While students are encouraged to participate fully in school-sponsored activities, they are still responsible for work, tests and assignments in their classes. It is the responsibility of students to inform their teacher of their involvement in out of school activities. Students must be dressed appropriately for all field trips and excursions. Retreats and School Liturgies
At various times during the school year, students shall participate in scheduled liturgies and retreats. Such involvement is not only compulsory but essential to building commitment and witness to Christian faith in our Catholic secondary schools. These activities are a vital part of our cirriculm. By choosing to attend Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School, a student accepts various religious activities, including liturgies, retreats or other community.
The library/Resource Centre is disigned for quiet study and it functions to implement and support the cirriculm of the school. The librarian's role is to assist students in acquring the information literacy skills needed for locating a variety of resources valuable to their educational needs. The library provides all students with an enriched learning environment, containing a wide variety and range of materials that will invite intellectual growth. The library is open daily from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. For more information visit http://schools.hcdsb.org/hlyt/Pages/Library.aspx |
