Healthy Living

1. This year, I am playing Badminton and practicing martial arts to meet DPA requirements (150 mins/week of moderate to vigorous physical activity).
2. Next year, I will continue playing badminton and practicing Martial Arts to meet DPA requirements.
3. Other than physical activity, I will also need a concrete plan for healthy eating and stress management  in order to lead a healthy life after graduation.

I need 80 credits to graduate. A typical course is worth 4 credits.

• 48 of them must be from required courses.
• 28 of them must be from electives.
• 16 of them must be from Grade 12 courses.

At the end of this year, I will have 32 credits.

Community Connections

1. I need 30 hours of work/volunteer experience. To show I completed this, I must show proof in the form of a pay stub or reference letter..
2. I can start accumulating these hours in Grade 10-12.
3. My plan to earn work/volunteer hours is through McDonalds, or being a reading buddy at the library.
4. I will also need to complete a reflection that includes employability skills, how I’ve benefitted, and what I’ve learned. It will be 200 typed words minimum.

Career and Life

1. In addition to updating my resume, I will also create a financial plan and physical health plan to show that I have a plan in place after graduation.
2. When I graduate, my current plan is to go to university. My top 3 choices are Queens, UVIC, or SFU.

 

 Interview
