The transition year: The Grade 12 students of 2019/20 will follow the current Grad Transition format but the report card section will now read Career Life Connections 12 (4 credits) and they will receive a combined letter grade with their 30 hours of work experience.
Career Life Education 10: Planning 10 has been replaced with CLE 10. This course is a formal class taken within the timetable during grade 10.
