September has flown by so quickly,

and it’s hard to believe that we are

already almost 20% through first

semester.

We had an excellent start to the

year in spite of the usual adjust-

ments to student schedules caused

by the enrollment of new students.

We have about 1290 students en-

rolled at this time with the largest

groups in grades 9 and 11 with over

270 students each. To accommo-

date increased enrolment, we added

sections of Math, Social Studies, PE,

Science and English and welcomed

new staff members in mid-

September. I am very appreciative

of how cooperative and accommodat-

ing students were as we made the

necessary adjustments to classes.

Clayton Heights has identified two

goals for 2012-13: Improving suc-

cess, with a particular focus on our

grade 8’s, and developing social re-

sponsibility. Both goals are being

addressed in a number of ways, in-

cluding well established clubs and

programs such as Project Equal and

our almost new LINK program

which hosted an orientation for our

incoming grade 8 students at the

end of August. Feedback from the

students attending indicates that

the day was a resounding success.

The plan is to continue developing

the program over the next 2 – 3

years.

We are also working to bring tech-

nology into the school in a number

of ways. We are very excited about

three pilot projects involving iPads

in Social Studies, Spanish and

school wide through the Learning

Commons i.e. the library. In addi-

tion, our old website is now obso-

lete and now you will access Clay-

ton Heights through

surreyschools.ca. Please be patient

with us as we undergo the

‘remodeling’ phase which may take

some time.

In an attempt to stay with the

times, I will occasionally tweet – I

know you are not interested in the

minutiae of my life, so I will limit

my tweets as much as possible to

educational topics. Follow me at

604hummingbird!

I look forward to another wonder-

ful year at CHS!

Fringe is an event put on the by the Surrey Drama Teachers Association.

Top senior Theatre students from around the district are chosen by their teachers to

attend. Students participate in a number of workshops led by leading professionals

in the theatre industry as well as a wide variety of drama and theatre activities. The

focus is on skills development and building community with other top students.

The camaraderie and connections that are made last the whole year as the participants stay in touch

with each other and make a point of going to see each other in each school’s productions. All students

demonstrate an improvement of skills and interest in theatre after attending.

This year the event takes place November 7-9.

This year the Clayton Heights Arts Council, is encouraging all ar-

tistic types to join the club and participate in art related activities

throughout the year.

Last year the Arts Council did Halloween and Valentines Day window

painting, face painting, and set up an art display of students’ work in

the hub. They did some fundraising and ended their year with a pizza

party. They worked on designs for the agenda cover and the grad key

chain.

This year we will elect a strong council of motivated young artists, to

plan fun and art related activities and events. We are also hoping to

create a mini mural to hang in the halls.

This is a great club to express your artistic side. You do not have to be enrolled in art classes to join,

you just need to have a creative flair and like to hang out with like minded people. Information re-

garding our upcoming meetings will be on the announcements.

Career Education Assistant: Ms. V. Newman

Career Education is very excited to be embarking on their fifth year of a career development strate-

gy for all of our Clayton Heights students to guide them toward their chosen post-secondary dream.

Your Career Education Assistant has collaborated with the Counselling Department, Graduation

Transitions Coordinator, Planning 10 teachers, and Health and Career Education Coordinator to

develop a specific practice to guide students from grade 8 to grade 12. The format is being delivered

to students in grade level assemblies and workshops throughout the year.

The basic system involves having students choose a career of interest using the Career Cruising Pro-

gram - Level One, which allows them to discover their career interests.

In Planning 10, students complete an extensive Career Investigation As-

signment with the Career Cruising Program covering Levels 2 & 3. After

completing a series of assignments, students create a career presentation

which is viewed by their peers, providing students exposure to a variety of

career options. As well, Planning 10 students learn how to prepare a proper

cover letter and resume which they can use to apply for jobs in the commu-

nity. The students then participate in a mock job interview to assist them to

further develop their interview skills.

Grade 11 & 12 workshops and individual consultations help guide students so they will understand

costs, methods of funding their choices and some of the most basic skills.

This exciting program ensures that every Clayton Heights student is given the opportunity to leave

Clayton Heights with a “Tool Kit” in hand to enter into their post-secondary choice whether they

choose the trades, college, university or a great job straight out of school!

FINANCING YOUR FUTURE

It’s never too early to think about how you’ll pay for your future education. If you plan to continue

school beyond Grade 12, you can start earning money from awards and scholarships even before you

graduate. See www.bced.gov.bc.ca/awards/

Grade 12 Graduation Program Examinations Scholarships

Students who write provincial exams in Grade 12 might qualify to win scholarships worth $1,000 or

$2,500. Go to the website for the B.C. Ministry of Education for more information. The awards are

based on academic achievement. The money can only be used for tuition at designated post-

secondary institutions.

Dogwood District/Authority Awards - 14 scholarships at $1,000 each

These $1,000 scholarships are awarded to graduating students who excel in any one of the following

four areas:

1. Fine Arts (Visual Arts, Dance, Drama, Music)

3. Physical activity (not limited to Physical Education)

4. Second languages (including aboriginal languages)

Students must apply for these scholarships at their school in June of 2013.

Grade 9

18th Annual Take Our Kids to Work

Wednesday, November 7, 2012

The Learning Partnership is a national charitable organization dedicated to championing a strong

public education system in Canada through innovative programs, credible research, policy initia-

tives, leadership training and public engagement. Since 1993, more than 4.9 million students and

teachers have participated in programs run by The Learning Partnership.

Take Our Kids to Work™ is The Learning Partnership’s signature program involving more than

250,000 Grade 9 students annually. This year, on Wednesday, November 7, Grade 9, Senior 1

(Manitoba) and Secondary III (Quebec) students across Canada will spend a day in the workplace of

a parent, relative, or friend.

For students, it’s more than a fun day. It’s an opportunity to:

• Understand the importance of staying in school by learning first-hand what skills are

required in today’s workplace.

• Develop an appreciation for their parents’ careers and roles in supporting their families.

• Start exploring career options in a practical way and gain a better understanding of just

how many career choices are open to them.

For parents, it’s helping prepare your child for the future. You can:

• Participate in a shared experience with your child.

• Begin a career dialogue based on actual experiences.

• Enrich your child’s experience with discussions before, during and after the workplace visit.

It is important to note that:

It is up to the students/parents/employers to arrange the job shadow placement, and stu-

dents must have their parent/guardian permission to participate.

This is a job-shadow hands-off activity – NOT work experience. (no WCB coverage)

The parents/guardians of the students who participate are responsible for the safety of

their child while they are at the workplace.

The students will be able to gain the information they may need to analyze and plan for their career

interests. Details will be outlined in a letter from Mr. Fisher to parents to be sent home with stu-

dents in October. For further information, please visit the website: www.takeourkidstowork.ca

Grade 10

During the month of October, all of our Planning 10 students will be exploring options to consider

after high school. By highlighting the students’ career options in high school, students have the

foundation from which to base their course selection for their senior years. Students who consider

their post-secondary options are then more likely to pursue some form of post-secondary education.

In addition, during Planning 10, Mr. Fisher has already presented a workshop specifically focusing

on the area of Trades and Technology.


At the end of this semester, Mr. Dayton will also be going into the Planning class to assist them in

making course selections for their grade 11/12 school years.

Bridging the Gap Between Grade 11 and 12

Grade 11/12 students may want to have additional assistance in re-defining their career goals and/or

selecting a post-secondary choice to meet their needs. They are always welcome to come in for an

individual career assessment. You can make an appointment with Ms. V. Newman, the Career Edu-

cation Assistant, in Room #105. Together you can create a new realm of pos-

sibilities for your future!

Students can:

discover their evolving work skills

explore apprenticeship training options

do detailed post-secondary research exercises

Hopefully this will result in focusing on a new career goal that the student is passionate about! Stu-

dents can make an appointment Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Grade 12

We have keen students pursuing scholarships again this year. Much of the scholarship funds go un-

claimed each year because students simply do not apply, so we encourage ALL grade 12 students to

visit the Career Centre regularly to check out the latest scholarship opportunities available.

In addition to the mainstream scholarships that we advertise, students can research more infor-

mation at the following web sites:

www.studentawards.com

www.scholarshipscanada.com

www.fastweb.com

www.schoolfinder.com

Often companies provide scholarships for their employees’ families, which are not usually advertised

to the general public, so we do not have this information here. It is a good idea to ask your parents if

their workplace offers scholarships to families’ undergraduates.

If students need to review scholarship criteria, or need to be nominated by an administrator, or need

their application edited and approved, they must first make an appointment with Mr. Dayton. Be

sure to allow 2 weeks before deadline: one week for references to be made, and 7 work-

ing days to mail your scholarship application by the deadline posted.

The Process:

careers


http://www.studentawards.com/

http://www.scholarshipscanada.com/

http://www.fastweb.com/

http://www.schoolfinder.com/


After students have chosen their career and decided which post-secondary institution they plan to

attend, they can then consider the appropriate scholarships that apply to that career path.

B.C. post-secondary entrance scholarships, national scholarships and community scholarships are

advertised in 4 ways:

1. in the Scholarships reference binders in the Career Centre, Room #105

2. our in-house CH-TV

3. in this monthly newsletter, which is available online on our school website

4. posted on the wall outside the Career Centre (monthly)

As the information becomes available to us, it is updated weekly.

Please keep in mind that some of the universities will often not have their information on scholar-

ships ready until November of each year.

SD#36 District Partnership Programs Available for Students

These are partnerships between the K-12 system, the post-secondary education system and employ-

ers, designed to improve and strengthen BC’s public education system. This then eliminates barriers

of student transition from post-secondary education to the workplace.

This initiative allows secondary students to simultaneously earn their secondary school diplomas

and first year post-secondary or industry certification. Application deadline is April 2013. Please

contact Mr. Fisher with any questions.

Here is the list of District Programs available for Grade 10 and 11 students to apply for:

Secondary School Apprenticeship = SSA

For students interested in more information on the Trades and SSA – please make an appointment

to see Mr. Fisher. The SSA is a high school program that provides students over the age of 15 who

are enrolled in a secondary school in Surrey, with the opportunity to begin an apprenticeship while

still in high school. Students must be employed in an apprenticeable trade.

Trade and technical careers are an excellent alternative to college and university – careers are avail-

able in everything from aerospace to electronics and a whole lot more.

SKILLS SHORTAGE = OPPORTUNITY

The time is now for serious exploration of trade and technical careers. There is still a strong need

for skilled workers in British Columbia. Our Career Program for students also helps employers

meet skill needs. This SSA can give you a big head start in your chosen career.

Advantages for the SSA Student – just to name a few:

Can earn 16 credits toward their high school graduation

Can acquire skills valued by employers

Become eligible for a $1,000 scholarship

You can get paid $$$ while you are learning

Link Crew and Grade 8 orientation…a huge success!

During the last week of August, 45 senior students volunteered their time to be in school acquiring

leadership skills that would enable them to facilitate a successful orientation to 197 incoming grade

8 students.

In addition to large group activities, our leaders paired up and broke off into small groups where

they were in charge of 10 students who they led through a variety of activities.

Unlike other transition programs, Link Crew focuses on three things: Safety (feeling secure in a new

larger school setting); information sharing (get involved!) and most important is relationship build-

ing (establishing connections with peers and leaders).

Link Crew is built on the belief that students help students succeed. But the commitment by

our Leaders doesn’t end there. They are prepared to support their groups of students throughout the

first school year. Futures activities include offering support at the grade 8 BBQ, hosting the pump-

kin carving contest, hosting “Cocoa and Cram” study skills sessions and more…
