Course Selection and Forms

The purpose of the Course Selection Handbook is to help you plan and choose courses for your years at St. Andrew’s Regional High School. If you have any questions, please see the academic advisor or school counsellor. 
Use the information in this booklet to help you: 
• Select courses required at each grade level and for graduation.
• Select courses that interest you based upon their content. You must also be prepared to meet the specified requirements, particularly in the more rigorous and / or performance–based courses. 
• Ensure that you have the required and recommended prerequisites. This should include planning for future years. Do not assume that you can take courses from a different grade level since this is not always possible to schedule. 
• Ensure you graduate with the requirements for the post-secondary institute(s) and program(s) of your choice. 
 
CHOOSING COURSES (Course Selection Forms above) 
The courses chosen in Grade 10 can determine some of the Grade 12 courses completed and therefore the post-secondary institutes and programs to which students may apply. In order to keep options open, it can be beneficial to select a high school program that will allow some flexibility. Plan carefully because the timetable is assembled based on your initial choices. Once the schedule has been built, specific changes may be difficult or impossible to implement. Selection of a course does not ensure you will be able to fit it into your schedule, although every attempt will be made to accommodate you. If you are unsure about your options, especially if your questions pertain to graduation or university entrance requirements, take the time to see the academic advisor or school counsellor.

Graduation Requirements: Grade 10-12

The path to graduation begins in the Grade 10 year and ends with Grade 12. Here you will find important information on:

MyEd BC Student & Parent Portal

Student accounts in MyEducation BC have now been created for all students in grades 8-12.

Available Features of the MyEducation BC Student and Family Portal are:

  • View Report Cards
  • Family Contact and Emergency information: This can only be viewed, not edited. Notify your child’s school to update information or correct errors.
  • Student Schedule: View current class schedule.
  • Academic Information: Get real-time access to your child’s assignments and grades for those teachers who use the MyEducation gradebook. You can even see progress reports, report cards, transcript history, and graduation progress.
  • Attendance Information: View real-time information on your child’s historical and current attendance records.

Students will have a brief tutorial on the navigation and functionality of the application and have created a secure individual password for their account. Please talk to your student about this process and have them share their account information with you in order for you to access the information listed above.  ( How to create a password in MyEd and password recovery )

Teachers using the MyEducation BC gradebook are now able to allow students and parents to view assignment results and current progress for your students from within the student’s account.

Please Note: some teachers may choose to continue with an alternative assessment program outside of MyEducation BC which means their course marks will not be viewable from within the portal (although all previous report card marks are visible). These teachers will use alternate methods to communicate student progress with you.
