EnglishThe SDSS English Department offers a full array of programming for students in all pathways. No matter where students are bound out of high school--the work place, an apprenticeship, college, or university--you will find courses designed with your success in mind. Our department has an array of strengths, both in terms of curricula focus and staffing. Our graduating students are regularly in touch with us. We are happy to hear of their successes in all post-secondary destinations, and when we are made aware of any potential gaps in learning, we are ready to adapt so that our current students meet with those same successes in the future. We work closely with our superb resource and student success teams to make sure all students have every opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skill sets. Should students wish to take more than the compulsory courses in English, we often offer courses in writer's craft and film studies--places where students get a chance to enhance their learning through creativity. And finally, since all students must pass the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (the grade 10 literacy test) in order to receive their diploma, you will benefit from our strong literacy preparation program as a student here. In fact, SDSS has most recently achieved a 91% success rate--far and away the highest results in Grey and Bruce counties! So, get ready for success with the SDSS English department!
