Students must qualify for WEX12, by matching a selected menu of courses in six Focus area - Business, Fine Arts, Fitness/Recreation, Health & Human Services; Liberal Arts & Humanities; and Science. Refer to the course selection books of either high school to see if you would qualify. Then contact your counsellor to discuss. Students will earn four Grade 12 credits for completing 100 hours of work experience in the community. These hours are done during the school day and are scheduled into a student's timetable so as not interfere with other studies. All worksites are open to students regardless of their Focus Area. Most students will most likely attend at least three placements depending on their daily hours worked and how many placements are needed to total 100 hours. This course allows students an opportunity to test their future occupational choices: the nature of that work, the people that usually work in that field, and other aspects. As you think about post secondary studies, some institutions (university, college, technical and trade schools) are asking students to have previous volunteer experience in related areas, WEX 12 will satisfy that requirement.
