General Information Introduction W elcome to École Secondaire Oak Park High School, a Grade 9 to Grade 12 French Immersion and Grade 10 to Grade 12 English high school. Oak Park High School is committed to providing a safe, accepting and academically challenging environment. By so doing, the school gives each student the opportunity to develop critical thinking and decision making skills, an understanding of his or her social responsibility, and a strong feeling of self worth. In addition to the comprehensive range of academic courses, students can enroll in a wide variety of programs such as Advanced Placement, Fine Arts, French Immersion, Leadership, Career Development, Program for Gifted Learners and courses at Winnipeg Technical Centre. At Oak Park we nurture the potential for growth in all of our students by offering a wide variety of extra curricular activities such as participating in over a dozen student council committees and extensive athletic activities. Students who are involved in extra curricular activities enjoy a rewarding and enriched school experience. Pembina Trails School Division is committed to the International Students Program. Oak Park has been an eager participant in this program, hosting many international students from such countries as Mexico, Brazil, Japan and Germany. This excellent program provides Oak Park students with an exciting opportunity to gain new friends as well as a greater global perspective. The staff at Oak Park takes a personal interest in each student and we are committed to providing a safe, welcoming and academically challenging environment. At Oak Park we offer every student the best opportunities to develop their physical and mental abilities as well as their sense of social responsibility. In doing so, we strive to help our students become healthy, intelligent and caring members of their community. We also believe learning is a lifelong process that does not end at graduation. The critical thinking and decision making skills developed at Oak Park will equip our students for a rich, rewarding and successful future. COURSE GUIDE École Secondaire Oak Park High School provides this guide to assist students and parents in understanding the content of courses and the organization of senior years programs. This guide is intended to be used in family discussions that will assist students in making wise program and course choices. Future career opportunities will be influenced by present course selections. Students, therefore, should honestly and seriously assess their own personal interests, abilities, aspirations, and long-term plans and use this assessment as a guide for choosing courses. After personal assessment and family discussion, students and/or parents are encouraged to consult with school staff regarding course planning. Such planning is critical to meeting the requirements of post-secondary educational institutions or the workplace. SCHOOLS OF CHOICE Under Schools of Choice, parents and students have the ability to choose a school. There are certain responsibilities and obligations that parents and students must meet when exercising their right to apply to choose a school. Some issues that may require further consideration are: program suitability, space availability, notification dates, and transportation. Please note the following points: Students/parents wishing to exercise their right to apply for Schools of Choice may go directly to their school of choice to make application. Schools of Choice applications should be made as early as possible but at least by May 15. Applications received after the May 15 deadline will be considered; however, they may be more difficult to accommodate. Once a student has chosen a school and is accepted, the student may attend our school until graduation unless he or she wishes to leave. Transportation is not provided by the school division. If you require further information, please ask for a supplementary information sheet entitled Schools of Choice, available at the school. 6 École Secondaire Oak Park high school

Similarly, Grade 11 students will have preference in course selection over Grade 10 students.

Le cours de mathématiques pré-calcul de 11e année se fonde sur les connaissances et les habiletés acquises durant le cours de mathématiques de 10e année, introduction aux mathématiques appliquées et pré-calcul, et il contient les connaissances et les habiletés nécessaires pour la poursuite du cheminement en mathématiques précalcul de 12e année (40S). Le cours comprend un haut niveau d études de mathématiques théoriques et met l accent sur la résolution de problèmes et le calcul mental. Les domaines d étude incluent : les équations quadratiques, les radicaux, les fonctions quadratiques, les progressions, les rationnels, la trigonométrie, les systèmes et les inégalités. Mathématiques appliquées 30S Le cours de mathématiques appliquées de 11e année (30S) est conçu pour des élèves qui envisagent de poursuivre des études postsecondaires ne nécessitant pas l étude du calcul différentiel et intégral. Afin de permettre aux élèves de mieux comprendre le monde qui les entoure, le contenu du cours est contextuel et fait la promotion de l apprentissage de techniques de résolution de problèmes basés sur le nombre et la géométrie. Le cours de mathématiques appliquées 30S se fonde sur les connaissances et les habiletés acquises durant le cours de mathématiques de 10e année, introduction aux mathématiques appliquées et pré-calcul 20S, et il contient les connaissances et les habiletés nécessaires pour la poursuite du cheminement en mathématiques appliquées 40S.

Mathématiques appliquées 40S Mathématiques appliquées 40S est un des deux cours disponibles aux élèves autre que pré-calcul, qui planifient des études post secondaires en mathématiques et en sciences. Ce cours s adresse aux élèves qui désirent poursuivre des études universitaires our techniques que ne requièrent pas le cours de précalcul. Il est tout particulièrement destiné aux élèves qui désirent travailler dans le monde des sciences, de l ingénierie ou de la haute technologie. Tous les cours de mathématiques appliquées sont principalement basés sur la récolte de données à travers différentes expériences et activités, et à leur analyse afin de 44

Programme D immersion / Mathématiques développer différents concepts de mathématiques. Les élèves de mathématiques appliquées doivent démontrer leur habilité à communiquer, oralement et par écrit, en utilisant différents média. Le cours de mathématiques appliquées met de l emphase sur la flexibilité et sur la responsabilité de l élève. La flexibilité est encouragée en demandant aux élèves de travailler individuellement ou en groupes sur des problèmes et des projets. La responsabilité est encouragée en demandant aux élèves de travailler indépendamment et d explorer soit d autres domaines reliés ou non aux mathématiques soit des situations de la vie quotidienne. La technologie est une partie importante des mathématiques appliquées. Les calculatrices à affichage graphique et/ou les ordinateurs y sont utilisées pour permettre à l élève d explorer les mathématiques, d effectuer des modèles et de résoudre des problèmes. Les tableurs sont également utilisés. Les élèves doivent avoir une calculatrice à affichage graphique, tel que T183 plus. Mathématiques du consommateur 40S Le cours de mathématiques du consommateur est un cours conçu pour l élève qui n a pas l intention de poursuivre les études post secondaires reliées aux mathématiques ni aux sciences. Ce cours d un crédit présentera des thèmes directement applicables pour le consommateur tels que la résolution de problèmes, la prise de décisions, les calculs et l usage des nombres. Les élèves travailleront individuellement ainsi qu en petits groupes sur les concepts de mathématiques pour apprendre les habilités requises dans une société technologique. L évaluation est variée. Quelques exemples d évaluation possible comprennent des projects, des dissertations sommatives, des expériences, des journaux, des devoirs et d un portfolio d l apprenant.
