Specialist High Skills Major: Arts & Culture
If you are reading this, you are one of the first to know that SCITS is soon to be the first high school in Lambton County to offer the Arts & Culture Specialist High Skills Major certification.
To obtain this recognition on your Ontario Secondary School Diploma, you take a bundle of 8 to 10 courses in grades 11 and 12 including 4 "major" credits in arts and culture. Your English and business courses are specially designed to complement your arts and culture major. You take at least 2 co-op credits and get valuable workplace experience related to arts and culture.
You work with artists, performers, and industry leaders to experience professional training in arts and culture. You participate in opportunities with local artists, performers, training centres, colleges, and/or universities. You earn a variety of industry-recognized certifications.
SCITS will be authorized to grant this additional recognition within the 2009-2010 school year, including granting this to students who have already satisfied the requirements at SCITS in their grade 11 and 12 years.
To participate in this unique and valuable opportunity beginning in the February 2010 term, contact the school. More information is available at the Arts & Culture Specialist High Skills Major website.
Note: you must be a student registered at SCITS to qualify.
Alumni Art Wall
All former SCITS Art students are welcome to submit a miniature piece of work, approximately the size of a large postcard, which you can just send through the mail as a card. Ms. Yuhasz is holding the first submission, an acrylic painting by Pat Kilby, class of '91. This will be an ongoing project, so get out your art materials and help us out! For further information, contact Ms. Yuhasz at the school.
