This is a cohort program, 30 students maximum per year.
A goal of the JSCP is to prepare students physically and
academically for study at the college, university, and
trade school levels with a view to possible careers in law,
law enforcement, community safety, and social justice
fields.
Upon completion of the program students will graduate
having received the North Delta Secondary Justice
Studies Certificate.

Goodbye grad trans….
HELLO CAREER LIFE CONNECTIONS & CAPSTONE PROJECT!!
For anyone who has not yet competed Planning 10, you will need to take Career Life Education next year (so get Planning 10 done asap!)
KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GT
& NEW CLC/CAPSTONE
• It is now a GRADED COURSE
• Mandatory Flex Time sessions with your CLC coordinator/advisor as required
• Individualized pull-out sessions with your coordinator/advisor specific to your Capstone project
• Your coordinator/advisor will no longer be your counsellor
CLC/Capstone is a required course for graduation under the new curriculum, just as Grad Trans is a required course currently.
WHAT ELSE IS NEW FOR 2018/2019??
• English 12: English Studies 12 (But is essentially the same course)
• English 11: Being replaced with 4 other Grade 11 level courses:
1. Spoken Language 11
2. Creative Writing 11
3. Lit Studies 11
4. Film/Media 11
**** Please note that all of these 4 options all have the same academic rigour (there is
no “easy” option)***

as an elective option if they wish (these course will be offered based on
interest/only If enough register)

• Socials 11 : Now Socials 11 Explorations

• Grad 2019: Socials 11, and anything beyond still optional
• Grad 2020: Any Senior Socials course (11 or 12 level) to Graduate
• However, Socials 11 will now be an admissions requirement for SFU specifically (Grads of 2020) (and likely other universities as well)
