As you start to consider your child’s interests and options, we want to be aware of the many Programs of Choice for secondary students – including career education, enrichment options, and sports academies – many are offered at all secondary schools.
The programs are designed to give students the opportunity to excel in a specific area of interest while fulfilling their academic requirements. Many are offered in partnership with higher education institutions or industry. Please see the attached flyer. Additional information is available on the Burnaby School District’s website: www.burnabyschools.ca. Students in grade 7 are invited – along with their families – to attend a secondary open house and Career Education information session where they can learn more about the high school as well as Programs of Choice.
Students who will be in Grades 8-12 in the next school school year can apply for Programs of Choice and, if necessary, cross-district transfers during the month of February.
