The TRY 10 Program is for students that require help/support academically
(NOT behaviourally), need extra one-on-one help from their teachers
(i.e. organizational and time management strategies), and have an overall academic
need (NOT just one subject area). Students will be accepted into the program
based upon referral from their junior high teachers/counsellor. TRY 10 will be
offered subject to sufficient enrollment.
TRY 10 will involve students being placed in a cohort group for their Grade 10 year.
They will travel as a cohort to their core classes throughout the year. These classes
include English Language Arts 10-2, Social Studies 10-2, Science 14, and Math 10-3.
Students recommended by their teacher/counsellor for TRY 10 will NOT have the
option to take other core courses. They will be able to choose their own options, but
may be limited in their selection based on the restrictions of their core course
placements. We are aiming for smaller class sizes for the program in order to best
support learner needs.
