Specialist High Skills Major

Sacred Heart High School is very pleased to be able to offer to students this year the opportunity to earn a Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) in the area of Health and Wellness. The SHMS allows students to focus learning in this area while meeting all the requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. By pursuing this SHSM, students will be better prepared for the postsecondary destination of their choice, leading to careers such as nutritionist, coach, fitness trainer, camp coordinator, kinesiologist, ski instructor or recreation coordinator. To complete the SHSM, students will complete a bundle of 9 specific credits, receive certification/training in a variety of areas, participate in experimental learning and reach ahead activities as well as developing their Essential Skills.

This program is normally begun in Grade 11 but many current Grade 12s may be eligible as well. Interested students are asked to complete an application form available from the Guidance department. More information is available from the school or at the board website (www.bgcdsb.org).
