Life During SchoolWe have ELA (English languages arts), Social Studies, Science,

Math, Physical Education, Health and we get to choose two elective courses that interests us the best. We have a schedule that has six day cycle and it tells us what class to go too. Once we get to the end of our cycle, it just repeats until we get to the end of our school year.

We get breaks from school too. We attend school five days a week (Monday-Friday) and we get Saturdays and Sundays off. School usually starts around September 7th and we go to school until June 30th. Then we don’t have to go to school in July or August because it is our summer vacation. In addition to our vacation we get a lot of other days away from school. We get two weeks off in December for winter break. And we get a week off at the end of March for spring break. We also have numerous holidays that we get off to, like Remembrance Day, Louis Riel Day and Victoria Day. And sometimes we get Fridays or Mondays off school because the teachers have planning (where they plan lessons and activities for next school year).

Extra-Curricular ActivitiesNone of us are really in extra-curricular activities but our

school and the City of Selkirk have a lot of activities for children, youth, adult and senior citizens. Such as, there’s bowling and bingo clubs in Selkirk. Our school has many different activities to join like many sports clubs. There’s also art club and a drama production that happens yearly.

Choices and Opportunities in Grade 10 at The CompThere are a lot of opportunities when you can choose from

when to the high school. Our high school is The Lord Selkirk Regional Comprehensive Secondary School (everyone calls it the comp). There’s at least 50 electives that we can chose from along with many majors we can take. A major is a career goal. Or we can take just 5 electives. We all took many different electives. Alissia took the major hair styles and coloring. Chelsea a major in art. Cydney took 5 electives that are photography, american history, and a few others.
